8. Canned tuna isn't nearly as much fun without cats howling for the juice

Mine is simple: chopped celery, chopped scallion (white part), tuna, mayo, and lots of freshly ground black pepper. I don't put eggs in it because I never have them around. If I want to get fancy, I'll reconstitute some powdered egg white, microwave it, and cut it up and throw it in, but it really isn't necessary.

Hellman's is Fresh Foods out west. It's the same stuff, same colors on the label, and used to have the same annoying advertising jingle.
