Interestingly, a man in the USA is addicted to canned tuna fish. From its pungent smell to its distinct taste, he can’t imagine a day without eating his favourite treat. Read on to know all about his love for tuna.

US Man Has A Strange Addiction To Tuna

The TLC network in the USA recently interviewed Tyler from Lawrence in Kansas. Popularly known as Tuna Tyler, this American man has a strange addiction to canned tuna fish. His addiction is so intense that he smells, eats and even sips the juice of tuna every single day. Infact he confessed to gulping down 15 cans of tuna every week.

Tuna Tyler, as per a report by The New York Post, has taken his love for tuna to whole new levels. So much so that he even uses the juice of the fish as a form of cologne.
