Yesteraday a citizen complained to a newspaper that a can of tuna purchased recently at a local supermarket had a strong unpleasant taste and the unmistakable smell of the fuel also known as black gold. The woman prepared a snack to send her daughter to school when she noticed the smell, after tasting it she was sure the tuna was emanating the smell.
