Starkist Sweepstakes - StarKist’s journey began in 1917 in San Pedro, California (historically known as “Fish Harbor”). The French Sardine Company of California, founded by Martin J. Bogdanovich (an immigrant from Croatia) and his partners, set sail on a mission to create quality seafood products. By 1953, the company officially became StarKist Foods, and its Terminal Island facility became the largest tuna processing plant globally. Since 1961, StarKist’s mascot has been none other than Charlie the Tuna—an anthropomorphic cartoon tuna with dreams of being caught. His catchphrase? “Sorry, Charlie!”, Charlie swam into the hearts of tuna fans, embodying the brand’s charisma and playfulness. Even today, he remains a fan favorite, reminding us that tuna can be both delicious and endearing. Now that you know the history of Starkist go and enter some great Starkist Sweepstakes.
