Alright, you guys asked for it.

Not quite as good as REO Speedwagon's You Can Tune a Piano, But You Can't Tuna Fish, here is the lesser known 1984 "hit" song by Kip Addotta that has just about every aquatic-themed pun known to man:

(and the video looks like it had production costs that ran into the hundreds of dollars. :D)

UPDATE:


On Feb. 19, 2016,

a federal judge denied final approval to the StarKist tuna settlement, calling the deal “unfair” for consumers. A case management conference has been set for March 15, 2016

Really? I had two cans of underfilled tuna. I thought $50 of future purchases was plenty fair to me.

I was wondering what was up with this suit, now I know. Also just wanted to let you know I received my RED BULL class action suit the other day for $4.95. Did anyone else get theirs?

I mentioned upthread that I got a 4-pack of Red Bull in the mail out of the blue. I'm saving it to wash down the tuna.

I got a Red Bull $4.75 check. Almost threw it away as it looked like junk mail.

Maybe 2023

With the appeal to the appeal the final payment will be made not before 2023.

Maybe it'll hustle them along if we don't buy any tuna until then?

Mar 2016 Chicken of the Sea Voluntary Recall 5 ounce cans

Just one day after Bumble Bee announced that it’s recalling some
of its tuna products, Chicken of the Sea has followed suit.

The FDA announced on Thursday that Tri-Union Seafoods LLC has issued a voluntary recall of 2,745 cases of Chicken of the Sea brand tuna, which adds up to 107,280 cans more than three times the amount recalled by Bumble Bee. The affected products, just like the Bumble Bee recall, include certain 5 ounce cans of chunk light tuna in both oil and water.

Hey, remember this? I (finally) got a coupon for $5.03, good if I use it to buy 3 cans/envelopes of tuna. OK, so it isn't $50, or $25, or even a check, but it is SOMETHING. And didn't cost anything to apply. And it only took 4 YEARS! Sheesh!

Sorry, Charlie! $5.00 is better than nothing. I wonder when/if I’ll get anything?

We got our $5.03 coupon in the mail today. Filing date was 11/18/15. The award selection was $50 in product vouchers for Starkist Tuna. Must be the response was overwhelming. A 90% depreciation from the original offer. But 100% more than expected. I'm a "Class Action Winner." :whooopie:

Yep, got my $5.03 coupon; good thing, too since tuna was on sale 2 for $1. They say the Experian settlement will pan out the same way; no one will get the $125....
