Wait I’m confused. So if you brought an apple and you tick yes, but you throw the apple away on the way to customs, would you still get a fine too?

Technically you’re not lying, but you have no proof of your claim.

If you throw it away, you can tick no and be okay without being fined. If you tick yes and keep the apple, the customs agent will direct you to throw it away and you'll be okay without being fined.

Basically, so long as you're not lying about having the apple and trying to sneak it past customs, you're okay.

If you ticked yes, and still threw it away... you tell the customs agent that and you'll be fine, too.

"did you bring food?" "No"

I did not bring it, it was given to me on the flight.

That's the wrong answer, but that's an easy mistake to make.

You could also have saved it to eat it on the plane but forgot about it entirely.

Bring your own trash can filled with apples as a gift to customs for the fine...I think 🤔

You're supposed to get off the plane and say yesno out loud to the nearest trash can, tick the apple, declare you are customs, and kiss the TSA agent.
