A man's obsession with smelling and drinking the brine out of tuna tins is ruining his love life. In an episode of My Strangest Addiction: Still Addicted? on TLC, 'Tuna Tyler' confessed to consuming 15 tins of the fish each week. "My name is Tyler, I'm from Lawrence, Kansas, which is the middle of nowhere. It's farms and country stuff. It's very, very quiet - life in Lawrence is very boring," he said before the camera crew transitioned to a shot of him sitting in a coffee shop, taking a big sniff out of a tuna tin. "Nice way to start the day," he told the confused waitress. "I love smelling tuna every day, all the time, all day, all night, any day."
