"To Charlie's loyal supporters, don't be sad or disappointed. Charlie always had a vision: provide options to consumers in order to keep meals and snacks from being the same old, same old," Andy Mecs, Charlie's campaign manager and Director of Marketing and Innovation at StarKist, said. "Charlie did what he set out to do: he brought levity to this Presidential campaign with a focus on a bit of humor and delicious recipes. But, now, he has found a more appropriate job as President of his own undersea world!"

This year, Charlie decided to become America's alTUNAtive candidate, with the goal of making the Presidential election more focused on great taste. But his qualifications were more suited to rule the ocean floor so he is bringing his Presidential platform beneath the waves. About 71 percent of the Earth's surface is water-covered, so Charlie's new position is even bigger than being the POTUS.

Sallie, his official swimming mate, and VP hopefuls, Wally and Otto (who were appointed members of his cabinet), have all found a place in Charlie's World along with many more of Charlie's finny friends!

The best news of all: Charlie invites everyone to visit this new world and dive into a tasty 360-degree experience.
