Most fruits do not have bugs inside them.
As a non bug eating person, this makes me happy
While you may not do so intentionally, I can assure you that you do, in fact, eat a lot of bugs. In fact, there are countless standards on how much bug can be in your common foods. The amount is never zero.
It can never be either I think. It is more of “I don’t choose to eat bugs ever” than “I never eat bugs”.
For what its worth I’d wager more bugs have fruit inside them then fruit that has bugs inside.
A fair hypothesis, but can you substantiate it?
Most don’t, but some inevitably do. The FDA actually has non zero limits for things like poop, bug bits, etc. For example frozen broccoli is allowed to have 60 aphids, thrips or mites (small bugs) per 100 grams. Bay leaves are allowed to have up to 1mg of poop per pound, etc.
To my knowledge the only fruits that “have bugs in 'em” are figs.
The flies ate the cherries before my aunt could harvest them… So that
Pesticides keep the bugs off commercial fruit.
Think carefully about that though… imagine spraying toxic chemicals on your food so nothing wants to eat it.

The pesticides break down into salt and water, and anything left we can wash off.
Define “salt”
I think most fruit have fruit inside them tbh
If a buggy got in the fruit, it would have had to have pierced the skin of the fruit. In the time it took for that fruit to get across the country/world to the market and your home, that hole would let oxygen in, making a blemish or squishy spot. Most “ugly” produce will never see a store shelf. Some will get processed into other things so you won’t see it, but whole produce should be pretty bug free, at least internally.
As the other commenters said though, most is blasted to hell with chemicals to keep this from being an issue.
I have a (little) garden with fruit and vegetables and only a few have bugs inside, like other commenters said when they have bugs they also have a hole so they become inedible before I pick them. I don’t use pesticides and sometimes I find an ant or a worm, mostly inside figs, apples and pears, and when there are wasps inside you can spot them when the fruit is still on the tree and leave them alone!
Apples have, always.
Androids too, but they do not count as fruit.
;-)
Most don’t, figs do though.
I no longer like figs
No. Some do though.
