Tuna Twist!

Tuna Twist may sound like some kind of fucked-up, painful sex act or a dance involving twisting your body while flopping on the floor like a dead fish, but in the 1970s, Tuna Twist was a way to gourmet up canned tuna. It also made canned tuna stretch farther than some people’s throats while dry heaving as they think about canned tuna. So yeah, it was the IN THIS ECONOMY of tuna mixes.

Nabisco was the maker of Tuna Twist and it made its debut on grocery store shelves in 1976. It was a seasoning pack made up of herb and vegetables flavored, and it also had a “natural vegetable protein” (which is fancy talk for SOY) that gave you two extra tuna sandwiches from one can of tuna. I’m not sure if buying an extra can of tuna would be cheaper than just buying some Tuna Twist, but I do know that an extra can of tuna wouldn’t give you a garden punch to the tongue thanks to Sir Celery, Miss Parsely, and The Onion Twins!

History’s Dumpster says that Tuna Twist wasn’t long for the world because Nabisco didn’t know of a thing called “allergic as fuck to soy” and so people with soy allergies got the sicks and that was that:

Soy or TVP (textured vegetable protein) is an additive to most commercially processed foods because it’s extending filler and absorbs the taste of whatever else you make it with. Most people can process soy based foods normally. But others simply cannot. In fact, there were a lot of food allergies corporate food giants were tone deaf about in the ’70s (and some still are.) However, many processed foods now have labeling to alert consumers of certain allergy risks. But after a few months on the market, Tuna Twist was recalled. Because people with soy allergies were getting sick en masse. It never came back.

Tuna Twist was before my time, so I never had it, but for years I’ve been using my own tuna extender (aka two cups of mayonnaise with a dollop of canned tuna) and it has never gotten me sick! Cut to ten years from now when my doctor is like, “So your test came back and two things: Your heart is going to explode any minute now and your insiders are filled with nothing but mayo. Not sure if the two are related….”
