Tuna milk shake

Whilst on holiday in Spain, my son had been drinking los batidos, milk shakes, by the pool. We decided to have a snack and my son wanted a tuna sandwich. Obviously the sun and all those milk shakes have gone to his head because instead of ordering un bocadillo de ²¹³Ùú²Ô, he ordered un batido de ²¹³Ùú²Ô and got a very strange look.

As a student of Spanish, I regularly confused the word for tuna, ²¹³Ùú²Ô, with a false cognate tuna, cactus prickly pear fruit.
