He's eaten (and been forced / tricked to eat) spinach several times in the cartoons, and gained the same enhanced strength as Popeye. He simply hates it, which is why he doesn't eat it all the time. | |

I saw an animated cartoon that showed that Popeye originally sniffed a strong onion to trigger super sfrength, and discovered that canned spinich had a greater effect by accident. | |

| Nov 24, 2017 at 17:19 | comment | added | Odin1806 | @Valorum I remembered as well that it was also due to some scientist that misplaced his decimal point in his notes making spinach seem like some super iron food; I'm glad they mentioned that in that article as well. | |
