    These products aren't specific to Costco, so I wonder why Costco was targeted.
    You briefly showed a glimpse of the only tuna I ever buy: Wild Planet Albacore, which is pole and line caught and they supposedly catch the smaller tuna, where much less mercury has accumulated.

    Here's a weird thing about that brand: When I first found out about it many years ago, it was only available via mail order and cost about $5/can; it was caught and processed near McKinleyville on the northern California coast.

    After a few years, it showed up at Costco, much cheaper, still caught on the northern California coast (and Oregon added) but now processed in Vietnam! WTF?
    Later purchases have shown it to be caught either on the northern California/Oregon coast or near New Zealand.

      You are correct. This is not specific to Costco, but people tend to like Costco-themed videos, so that's why I make them.

      It's a universal shopping experience almost everyone is familiar with.

      Sounds sketchy. Another reason to reconsider.
