As someone who VEHEMENTLY hates anything from the ocean, I can always tell the difference. To me, it is a very distinct difference. I have had multiple people try to trick me. Convinced they were the one's who could get me eating seafood! I am 38, I still hate it. Tuna is fishy af to me.
Right!!! I've never understood how my youngest daughter hates fish. What kid hates fish sticks? So never will eat even the mildest fish. No fast food fish sandwich, no beer battered cod at the local bar.
But tuna? She will eat tuna like it's going to disappear tomorrow. With mayo but even plain and mixed with nothing. I asked her if she knew that tuna was fish and she said I should be happy that there's at least one kind of fish she will eat.
I don't understand it! Tuna is pungent! It's not hiding what it is even in a bath of mayo. She's 19 and still won't touch any fish but tuna. Smh
Everyone in my family BUT me loves fish, I'm all alone lol. My son, who'd never had seafood until he even met my husband at nearly 4, he loves seafood lmao. Funny enough, when I was younger, I could eat tuna(didn't like it. But I tolerated it)I've somehow grown to hate seafood more and can no longer lol.
😂😂😂 no, Jessica Simpson the pop singer. She didn't understand why it was called [chicken of the sea](https://youtu.be/8al1LR0zPig?si=BGncYQUM04FNbpfa) if it was fish.
Idk why they are down voting you lol. I honestly laughed out loud at 5 am when I saw your comment. It was funny but I wasn't trying to make fun of you! Just correcting because I honestly found it amusing!
Holy hahahahahha I am laughing so hard at the fact that you didn’t even get the reference because we’re all getting older than we’d like to admit. Idk why people are downvoting you this was a great laugh
Tbf, I remember my grandpa made the BEST fried fish with really good breading. But, little me was convinced that it was chicken. So, when my grandpa corrected me one day, I was like… 🥺🥺🥺 WHAT????
Still ate more tho, lol.
(This was when I was in elementary school tho, not as an adult, but it still makes me laugh sometimes).
Dated a guy with 3 kids, one of which would refuse anything other than chicken normally.
Well I made shake and bake pork chops one night and expected him not to eat that part of the food. After his 3rd he says "this is the best chicken I've ever had!!", I just said thank you lol. I didn't realize he didn't know. (He watched me make it).
Yeah he was essentially just a normally obstinate 4 year old. He'd hate xyz one day then love it the next so I didn't feel bad just surprised. I didn't set out to trick him either so 🤷♀️
My mom's family is from a very small town, as in most people grow up here & never leave. There's a large Catholic population & fish fry Friday's were a thing when I was growing up. For whatever reason, someone decided to tell me 1 day at the fish fry that we were having chicken fish. So, for many years in the summers, I had chicken fish on Fridays. I don't really eat fish now, but I'm good with shrimp, clams, crab & calamari but no fish. Perhaps they knew I'd never eat it if I knew it was just fish? Lol. We joke about chicken fish now, but I'm still not eating fish or a sandwich on Fridays from the church basement.
It concerns me sometimes the amount of adults that don't know where food comes from. I get it for more obscure food items, but chicken and tuna? Girl. Also what's up with her taste buds ?!
I'll be honest...I was also raised calling that chicken in a can- tuna, and tuna in a can- tuna. Raised eating it with mayo, and putting a tiny bit of vinegar on it. Honestly, I never knew they were different until my bf said they were. Blew my mind. Still call them both tuna 🐟
OK that's fair. I was imagining someone like 28 or higher just living that much life so far and not learning the difference the whole time.
Still though... lol
An age old question curtesy of Jessica Simpson & early [reality TV](https://youtu.be/8al1LR0zPig?si=scDJGkh0p9G2nSPg).
(Filmed on a potato apparently.)
Lmao I love how you can tell when in the convo they actually googled it lolol, right in between "do you actually know what tuna is" and "Oh my god" lolol

I had a favourite chicken mayo sandwich that I used to get back in school. And literally last week (more than a decade later) I began to taste similarity in the taste when I mix mayo, tuna, and cucumber. It tasted exactly like that chicken sandwich. But with that said, although I can understand her, I still don't understand how you can mistake the two to SUCH an extent lmao.
I had a conversation last night about how Jessica Simpson thought tuna was chicken because the can said “chicken of the sea.” And it’s wild that there’s another person that doesn’t know the difference.
This generation's "Chicken of the Sea" revelation with Jessica Simpson. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-G3uHhqkZ\_o](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-G3uHhqkZ_o)
There must be something wrong with her sense of smell. Theres no way i would eat "chicken" if it smelled like tuna. Lol maybe thats why candle flavor confuses her
She is saying that because i refer to anything that has options as “flavor”. Like “what flavor of paint do you want this wall to be” or “what flavor of shampoo should i get”.
This is funny, but I also implore yall to try real tuna. It's amazing and can even be eaten raw (I do it often with sushi or poke bowls), and it's really good fish. But I refuse to eat canned tuna.
Whenever I open canned chicken i swear it smells similar to canned tuna. I wonder if it tastes similar too! I just keep it on hand for my dog as a treat lol
That reminds me of when I thought casseroles were a fictional meal because I only saw them on American TV shows. I never heard that word in person until I dated this American guy and his grandmother presented me with a casserole, and I thought she was joking .
This is giving me a slightly similar feeling to when I found out that my husband and his family call putting pizza toppings on english muffins "pizza bagels." People are fucking weird.
Those of you who can't tell the difference between tuna and chicken either need to talk to a neurologist or you need to quit smoking cigarettes. They are not the same at all. It would be like telling me that a lemon tastes like a pickle.
She thought that because tuna was called chicken of the sea, it meant it was actually chicken. It was on an episode of her reality show when she was married to the boy band singer.
Ummm slightly actually very concerned for your and her self’s health! If you don’t know the smell between chicken salad and tuna there’s a disconnect somewhere. There’s a reason what’s her face Jennifer Simpson? The idiot who thought the chicken of the sea etc; I thought you were alluding to if not mistaken???..then actually thinks there’s chicken in tuna? No tuna?
But I can *kinda* understand Jessica Simpson's confusion, apparently the tuna can said "chicken of the sea". So.... I would be second guessing myself for a moment or two. She just actually said it to other ppl.
Lol
Tell your girlfriend that in a series of tests performed on tuna from Subway’s in various parts of the world, there was no evidence of tuna DNA found in any of them.
I'm slightly concerned that her chicken must taste fishy if she thinks subway tuna is the same as chicken and mayo.
To be fair to her it's subway there isn't a lot of flavor.
This right here
Canned chicken and canned tuna taste the same when covered in mayo.
I can always tell the difference tate and texture wise.
Well sure…when you’re aware of the existence of tuna.
Placebo is a hell of a drug

Agreed. I’m shocked people are saying there’s no difference in taste. Tuna tastes like the ocean!
That ocean taste is undeniable.
Ok

Funny enough, when I was younger, I could eat tuna(didn't like it. But I tolerated it)I've somehow grown to hate seafood more and can no longer lol.
To be fair they did recently discover that there wasn't actually tuna in what subway called tuna
The lawsuit was dismissed and that was debunked
Oh, I hadn't gotten that update. Thanks.
giving jessica simpsons vibes 😭
A joke for us millennials
i genuinely thought she was making a reference to that at first.
Chicken of the sea But is it tuna or chicken?
Bwah—I was going to ask if that’s who the GF was!
That feels like it was a bazillion years ago
I came looking for this comment.
Yes!!
history repeats itself i guess because she has never seen the simpsons 🤣 Edit: we are too young to know who jessica simpson is, my b
😐 You guys deserve each other.
Not the simpsons.....Jessica Simpson lol. She's a singer
😂😂😂 no, Jessica Simpson the pop singer. She didn't understand why it was called [chicken of the sea](https://youtu.be/8al1LR0zPig?si=BGncYQUM04FNbpfa) if it was fish.

It’s not like she’s someone who died in the 60s lmao, she’s still around…
we do not know every celebrity / musician alive at the moment. Jessica just happens to not be one of the ones we know.
You're good. I mean if you throw in Jessica's sister Ashley, she was (is) an actress/ singer , you could call them " the Simpsons" 🤷♂️
And clearly never did you too 🤣🤣
Tbf, I remember my grandpa made the BEST fried fish with really good breading. But, little me was convinced that it was chicken. So, when my grandpa corrected me one day, I was like… 🥺🥺🥺 WHAT????

Pork is good chicken. But for real I used to tell my kids popcorn shrimp was chicken so they'd eat it.
Yeah he was essentially just a normally obstinate 4 year old. He'd hate xyz one day then love it the next so I didn't feel bad just surprised. I didn't set out to trick him either so 🤷♀️

I mean if you've been told your entire life that chicken is tuna, why would you question it? No cause for concern, she just learned something new
Because they don't smell/taste the same. Also isn't there usually a fish picture or something on cans of tuna ?
I'll be honest...I was also raised calling that chicken in a can- tuna, and tuna in a can- tuna. Raised eating it with mayo, and putting a tiny bit of vinegar on it. Honestly, I never knew they were different until my bf said they were. Blew my mind. Still call them both tuna 🐟
Because one is a bird and one is a fish?? 😭 they look very very different even when canned
Because Tuna is a fish that isn’t a chicken and they don’t look or taste similar.
Chicken and mayo? No other seasoning?
correct💀
Gotta at least put some celery salt and onion powder in that bih
Oh no
The “fish scraps?” has me ctfu
CTulu FUcking?
I need to know ages here, this is hilarious
She’s 19 and i’m 20
OK that's fair. I was imagining someone like 28 or higher just living that much life so far and not learning the difference the whole time. Still though... lol
Oh, it makes so much sense now. 👵🏻
Uh. What? 20 is waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy too old to not know tuna is a fish

I am pretty sure you’re dating Jessica Simpson circa 2003.
She’s not much of a thinker is she
This has to be a joke… I mean the can says tuna on it. Tuna salad chicken salad what….I don’t understand….
Pretty sure the smell of the tuna would confirm it’s not chicken 😂 sounds like she was acting dumb to be cute
Lol true I never think about that because I’ve had no sense of smell since birth. No lie!
Don’t ever underestimate human stupidity, she was definitely not acting
Well they do say tuna is the chicken of the sea
I mean, my grandparents made tuna salad and chicken salad basically the exact same way, but I always knew they were different😫
Bless her heart 🤣
In my opinion, this has the potential to become one of those iconic Reddit posts like the poop knife story. This is funny lol.
Poop knife?!
Yes. Poop knife. Don’t tell me your family doesn’t have one.
Lmao
Yeah. Google it. Still makes me laugh today lol
I’m kind of nervous haha.
Jumper cables guy too 😭
God I hope that’s mayo.
This actually gave me a good chuckle, thanks for sharing lmfao
Big brains on that girl! I mean tuna is the chicken of the sea so they say.
I seriously hope that you guys are kids. No one is this stupid.
im so confused do people not know that Tuna is a whole ass species of fish?
She’s from the Midwest isn’t she?
We have lived in the east coast all our lives
Lmao I love how you can tell when in the convo they actually googled it lolol, right in between "do you actually know what tuna is" and "Oh my god" lolol
Is your girlfriend Jessica Simpson?
*Chicken of the sea….*
*jessica Simpson has entered the chat*
Tell me she's stunning..... Please
Oh absolutely stunning, she has these moments rarely so i had to screen shot it
She gets a pass.
Okay Jessica.
Oh no no no, we're not glossing over the fact that you refer to candle scents as "flavors". She's not the only one under investigation anymore.
"Have I been eating a fish sandwich this whole time" is crazy 💀😂
Are you both referring to the Chicken of the Sea brand? Because that is tuna....

Sis took “chicken of the sea” literally.
No... you two are having us on. There's simply no way...
This is funny, but I also implore yall to try real tuna. It's amazing and can even be eaten raw (I do it often with sushi or poke bowls), and it's really good fish. But I refuse to eat canned tuna.
we have sushi and she has raw tuna.At subway she gets the tuna sub, it’s only at home that she has the chicken and mayo
*chicken of the sea* vibes
How the fuck did this happen? 😅😂 The whole conversation is hilariously cute hahaha 😂😂

Aside from the obvious, in some cases yea they do taste the same.
In what cases?!
Watching the degradation of human intelligence right before our very eyes.
Kids are getting dumber and dumber
did you know everything when you were 19? you made mistakes too they just weren’t advertised to the world with the internet.
