It is illegal to throw an apple core at someone on public property.

Status: Still Enforced / On the Books

The Law Explained

The city of Canton took a surprisingly specific stance against weaponized fruit. Under local nuisance and assault ordinances, tossing the remains of your apple at a fellow citizen is explicitly forbidden. It was likely enacted long ago to stop bored youths from pelting pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages with sticky, rotting fruit debris.
