Chicken of the Sea

Do you remember that NewlyWeds episode of Jessica Simpson and Nick Lacheys reality show where she got confused about the can of food she was eating?

I don't feel like this Logo really reflects the brand name they are going for

Now this really utilizes the product name and makes you want to giggle at the same time!  I really might want to consider a career in graphic design, no?  Hahahaaaaa

I'll admit, I was confused as well because of Three reasons (feel free to count as you read along)

1. We don't have that brand in Canada
2. If its Tuna don't write Chicken on the can, kay? kay!
3. I'm blonde, nuff said!

You are right, but you weren't supposed to notice *sigh*

If you insist, lets try this...

We will take a little trip to where Tuna first became popular shall we...



This is a beach in Spain, Tuna first become popular in Spain and the mediteranean, lucky Tuna!

(Humour me friends, i am leading somewhere with this, i promise!)

TUNA FACTS

Only about one percent of tuna comes to the market to be sold fresh. The rest goes to the cannery, because canned tuna is America's most popular fish. If you haven't yet tried fresh tuna, you're missing one of the best meals to come from the ocean. Nutrition and health

Tuna History

The word tuna dates back only to 1880 in print and is attributed as a Spanish American derivation of the English counterpart, tunny. It is derived from the Latin Thunnus, the name of its scientific genus. Tuna has been fished from the warm, temperate parts of the Mediterranean Sea and the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans since ancient times. As a member of the mackeral family, tuna naturally has a stronger, more robust flavor than whitefish.

Tuna Facts

Tuna can cruise up to 55 miles per hour, and they are constantly in motion. To keep this speed machine going, the tuna eats up to ten percent of its body weight daily. Depending on the variety, weights average from 10 pounds up to 600 pounds per fish. The majority of the commercial tuna harvest comes from California. The average consumption of tuna in America is 3.6 pounds per person, per year, most of which is canned. SOURCE

Tuna Nutrition
Canned tuna is a prominent component in many weight trainers' diets, as it is high in protein and easily prepared.
Tuna is an oily fish, and therefore contains a high amount of Vitamin D. A can of tuna in oil contains about the Adequate Intake (AI) of the US Dietary Reference Intake of vitamin D for infants, children, men, and women aged 19–50 - 200 IU.
Canned tuna can also be a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. It sometimes contains over 300 milligrams (0.011 oz) per serving.^[41]

Tuna Concerns

Mercury content in tuna can vary widely. For instance, testing by Rutgers University found that a can of StarKist had 10 times more mercury than another can of exactly the same kind of tuna. This has prompted a Rutgers University scientist whose staff conducted the mercury analysis to say, "That's one of the reasons pregnant* women have to be really careful ... If you happen to get a couple or three cans in the high range at a critical period when you are pregnant, it would not be good." Among those calling for improved warnings about mercury in tuna is the American Medical Association, which adopted a policy that physicians should help make their patients more aware of the potential risks.^[42] SOURCE

Nothing distracts a reader more then a photo of the blogger being harassed by a flamingo!
