to think tuna cans are the wrong size?

Is it just me? Tuna cans are two big for one person (1 sandwich) but too small for 2. Not a biggie in the grand scheme of things but I've pondered it today.

I just eat the tuna without the sandwich bit. Big squirt of sweet chilli sauce and eat it straight from the tin.

Why doesn't tuna come in cans with ring pulls?

(And is the Tuna family still flourishing?)

AuntieStella tuna does come in cans with ring pulls.

Don't know about the tuna family though!

Mine didn't! (Waitrose own label)

I really had to fossick to the back of a drawer to find a can opener. Not a pleasant experience, I'll have you know!

YY...two cans is perfect for 3 servings (so I make up three portions of tuna pasta salad for lunch in one go). Half-sized cans are too small.

You can get tuna in ring pull cans but it's a lot harder to drain properly.

Eat a regular can for lunch every day. Would like a twiddly bit more in tbh.

Barbara you need to pull the ring back but not completely remove the cover, then press down firmly for a few seconds with the can tipped over. It drains perfectly.

I prefer to think of them as making a deliciously generous tuna sandwich

Me too Grin

Or it makes enough tuna mayo pasta for 2

Depends on whether contents of the tin are 'tuna flakes' or 'tuna steak'.

Steak is more tuna crammed into a smaller tin and therefore better value.

I've studied this, obv.

I think most people have 1 to themselves however I've always thought they were 1.5 portion size and the smaller tins 1person.
