Is This News Like The Tuna... Fake?

drewmagary BIG TUNA at it again.

Sorry, Charlie

So Walmart is getting compensated by the three tuna companies from a civil suit ?

I'm in Fl. The price for a can of tuna is between $1-1.50 depending on the quality. I'm so confused by this whole article. And I've read it too many times.

only goid thing is charlie and chicken of the sea can now get married,,,😂😂😂😂

When we hold our canned tuna companies to higher ethical standards in order to shut down collusion than our elected politicians. 'Murica.

It’s not even tuna in that can so who cares.

Cadence Cameron gunna be in trouble w God 🤷🏼‍♀️

“Collusion is not a crime!”

Free market means that. Pick on oil folks.

If people seen where their tuna comes from they might get smart and not buy it. Different when one buys American tuna. The water is a little cleaner.

The fine journalists at NPR have gone from reporting on Trump-Russia collusion, to StarKist tuna collusion. Lol bots. MuellerTime

was this the Russians too?

Three guys were in prison & asked each other what they did. 1- 'I set prices too low, and they charged me with predatory pricing.' 2- 'I set prices too high and they charged me with gouging.' 3- 'I set prices the same as everyone else, and they charged me with collusion.'

I only buy Schooner Tuna - the tuna with a heart.

Bad Charlie.

I’ll never buy *glances at phone* StarKist canned tuna again!

“Sorry, Charlie”

Sam’s club (Walmart owned) made their own brand of canned tuna with the “members mark” label this past summer. It was cheaper but suddenly disappeared from my local store’s shelves. Wonder if related to this...

Do we call this Charliegate? or the Can Conspiracy?

Damn I knew 52 cents a can was pushing the budget too far 🙄😂

I knew something smelt fishy...

You hate them because you hate them. Makes perfectly good sense if you hate us. Thank you.

Shelves upon shelves of food are all the same price. Even online, same issue. Wonder who StarKist ticked off for action to be taken against them? I wish such laws were applied equally, across the board. Food is far too expensive 😔

But...but...totally unregulated capitalism is the answer to everything. Nothing like this could ever happen. Nothing could go wrong!
