BUMBLE BEE Sensations Spicy Thai Chili Seasoned Tuna with Crackers, Tuna Snack Kit, High Protein Food, Gluten Free Food, High Protein Snacks, Canned Food, Bulk Snacks, 3.6 Ounce Packages (Pack of 12)

Forgive me for being overly dramatic, but I consider my quest for palatable, convenient lunch options as seriously as some people treat their personal finances, or stock portfolios. With my daily 3 hour commute, I have leisurely breakfasts and dinners only on weekends. Lunch is the only meal I may actually be *sitting down* to eat so I [expletive deleted] refuse to settle for something tasteless. I do not have a sweet tooth, and that eliminates half the things I can grab from a vending machine. Carbs put me in food coma, and so that eliminates the other half. I do not have the discretionary income to eat fig and duck confit sandwiches from the fancy cafe next door to work, and that leaves me with having to quest for lunch options I can store in my office cupboard and prepare with the least hassle. Some of my finds have been decent, some have made me cry at how desperate I had become to be eating something that tastes like the aftermath of drunk moose. But this...this was tasty. Genuinely tasty.Ever since I got it out of "I wonder what this tastes like" curiosity at Target ages ago, it was love at first bite. This product smells strongly and cubicle dwellers may wish to note that but the kit is easy to store, the can is easy to open and if you have a napkin, you are all set. The tuna tastes amazing. Even if you are not fond of the fish in its other "tuna kit" or "chicken of the sea" avatars, the slightly spicy, slightly sweet, zesty flavor of this will appeal to those of you who like more flavor in your food. It is thick, chunky and not watery, so it is not messy to eat, and did I mention it is actually tasty? This may be the only thing of the many things stored in my office cupboard for food emergencies that I actually enjoy eating.Though sadly, most of my Thai Chili lunch kits get borrowed by colleagues with such astonishing regularity, that I am forced to have this on autoship. MONTHLY!

I travel in remote areas for work and my gear gets thrown around a lot. I appreciate the box that the tuna kit comes in because the crackers are always whole, no matter what has happened. I buy this tuna kit instead of other ones because it has the simplest ingredients: no corn syrup, no artificial weirdness, no modified anything. The very small can is a good serving size for me. The spice is pretty intense and I know many people who would not like it, but it is fine for me. I usually mix in crushed kale chips to add a vegetable to my meal. I often save the enclosed mini-spreaders and have started to save the plastic boxes to make other meal kits, so in a way, it is possible to reduce the amount of packaging wasted by this product. This is one of my travel staples and I always have some on hand. I'm not giving it five stars only because there are tuna products out there (such as bonito del norte) that have far superior flavor and are the only ones that I give five stars.

I really like tuna, but it can get boring. Not with the Thai Chili from Bumble Bee. It has a nice spice kick, and I can go spicer than most people I know, with even a little afterburn (not unpleasant to me at all). There are even one or two of the chilis that are pictured whole in each can.The crackers are just so-so and tend to crumble a little before you take them out. And they are not very good quality crackers. I personally can't have just this for lunch all the time. But you don't need much more: an apple, piece of cheese and you do have, for me, a full lunch. But you are also getting your calories worth. For 210 calories pretty darn filling.So crackers not great. But the tuna certaintly is. Tasty and light tuna is a good source of protein, selenium,vitamin B-12, niacin and iron. Also less mercury than albacore, but albacore does have more Omega-3s. For the price, taste, good use of calories: overall highly recommended.

I like this Tuna from BumbleBee & it has just the right amount of spice to give it a little zing. Love it! I do notice that whomever is shipping it is not rotating their stock. The first order I received from a North Las Vegas location had a "use by" date of September 2015. All the ones I have received after that have come from San Bernardino, California and had a "use by" date of August 2014. Still within acceptable range but it makes you wonder why they are not rotating their stock. I will be keeping an eye on their use by dates. I don't want stock that's been sitting around in some warehouse for a couple of years. I do like the Chili Tuna though. I notice the other BumbleBee Sensations items like the Sundried Tomato & Basil and the Lemon Pepper are very dry to the extent you have to add something like mayonaisse to give them moisture otherwise they just aren't acceptable to put on a cracker.

I used to buy the regular Bumble Bee tuna salad, but was looking for something a bit more interesting and with less mayo. These are a good option, and they have a nice "bite" to them (more so if you're daring and eat the perfectly packaged Thai hot pepper you'll find on top of each can). The sauce isn't mayo, but oil and spices (not too oily, but not dry). If you want it hotter, you can mix all or part of the hot pepper into the tuna.The only thing that keeps me from giving the product 5 stars is that they are a little too sweet for my taste. I get that Thai food can have some sweetness, but these are sweeter than typically Thai, at least in my experience. Still, they're a great lunch option.

First when I opened my tuna can, smell was delicious! But after the first cracker loaded with tuna I realized my whole mouth was burning! I don't know if it's because the can had a whole pepper in it, and i put the pepper on the first cracker along with salad, but even subsequent crackers were spicy too! I finished the whole can, but would not buy again. I will finish then, but would have to prep at home with mayo and some lemon to cut the spice.I had ordered other Bumble Bee tuna lunch kits, specifically  Bumble Bee Foods Lunch On The Run Tuna Salad Kit, 8.1-Ounce Packages (Pack of 8)  and it was sensational. So I would recommend it for those who find this kit too spicy.
