A store owner in Australia recently proved an ax-wielding robber was no match for tuna fish and Pringles. Baz Rizk, who owns the Friendly Grocer, fought back against an assailant. The masked man walks up an aisle demanding cash only to have Rizk pelt him with cans of tuna fish and Pringles until the suspect runs away. Rizk said his coworkers chased the man away from the store using baseball bats. He previously has defended his store from robbers, pelting one would-be thief with a jar of Vegemite in an incident 10 years ago.

Laughed out loud at this one...and a can of Vegemite would run me away too!
Tuna Pringle sandwich ,sounds good
Good for him, but this could have been a bad idea. The owner was taking a Rizk.
Hope it wasn’t assault tuna. Nobody needs that just to drive away robbers.
Good that he’s the owner, because in the U.S. an employee would have been canned......
Exactly. He wouldn’t even have to throw it; just lift the lid off the jar, and I’d start backing up.
good one :)
fish and chips lol
Agreed, and if he had more than seven cans at the ready, he should be fined, perhaps jailed, and lose his canned tuna rights!
I’m sure all his tuna was confiscated while they figure out what actually happened.
/s
Doesn't that violate some kind of chemical weapons treaty?
ya, that and Kimchi...I used to work with a Korean guy who loved it for lunch. You couldn’t be within 20 ft of him without getting a whiff of that nasty smell.
“pelting one would-be thief with a jar of Vegemite”
Doesn’t that violate some kind of chemical weapons treaty?
>>> It would violate at LEAST chemical weapons treaty....
Tuna and pringles. Nice of them to feed the robbers.
Sob...poor can of tuna. And the Pringles were devastated.
What about pointed sticks?
“Australia store owner pelts ax-wielding robber with tuna cans and Pringles”
It’s like a version of America, where everything is ineffective and half-assed.
I suppose the Aussie govt will now confiscate axes.
Maybe, but it was no match against the dangerous tuna cans and cardboard Pringles canister.
