In the "old days," fishermen referred to the white albacore tuna as "chicken of the sea." It was called this because the white color and very mild flavor reminded them of chicken. The founder of the company thought this would be a unique name for a brand of tuna, and the Chicken of the Sea brand is now widely known in the Americas.

It's a myth not widely known outside Germany because what he said was perfectly OK. As Kennedy was not literally from Berlin but only declaring his solidarity with its citizens, "Ich bin Berliner" would not have been correct. This is similar to the case where after 9-11 many politicians said, "today we are all New Yorkers" and nobody thought they meant "we were all Chrysler New Yorker cars" did they? " Ich bin ein berliner" in the context it was meant, was perfectly accceptable.
Well I thought they were 'Chrysler New Yorker' cars
