scrappy lad: Hey, popeye's spinach! if I eat that, I'll get real strong! gulp!! ...and another childhood myth is shattered leaving nothing but a bitter aftertaste...
In the early strips, Popeye’s superpowers were explained by the magical good luck he obtained by rubbing the feathers of Bernice the Whiffle Hen. Spinach came later.

Same thing happened to me…I think that’s why I hate spinach to this day.

Took me years to even try fresh spinach (great!) after once trying canned. I don’t know how they ever sold that stuff!

Try kale. It’s even more disappointing. #KalesIsNotFood
