I notice that Poeye the Sailor, despite being rather frail looking, would inject a substance he called "Spinach. Suddeny, albeit briefly, he became agitated, quick to anger and had the strength of 10 men. Of course Spinach does not produce this effect. On the contrary, Spinach is quantity would provoke a feeling of lethargy. I suspect the can actually contained a potent combination of hashish, angel dust and methamphetemines, perhaps with a dash of spinach to make the cocktail more palatable. Anyone care to discuss?
mmm, Them's fightin' woids!
I'm not sure what he ate besides spinach, it may have cantained drugs. However, I could never understand why Popeye and Pluto would fight over who would get to romance Olive Oil.
It was a cocktail of ephedrine, testosterone, and GH.
You know, the same thing pro baseball players carry around in their duffel bags.
I think Slappy may be closest to finding the true ingredients. Popeye does have some of the symptoms of steroid abuse such as baldness and his excessivly large forearms. But I also supect the cocktail had some halluconogenic effects as he was strongly attracted to the anorexic possibly heroin abusing Olive Oyl.
I'm pretty sure that what was in Popeye's can was the spinach he ate the day or two before.
I swear it was Prince Albert.
Could have been ma huang.
My understanding of the effect under discussion is that spinach, despite being so distasteful to eat, is fabulously healthy - in fact so health as to confer upon the eater a strength and speed far greater than a normal human being. The whole process only takes a few seconds.
No, Nick. No one adds spinach to anything to make it more platable.
Popeye wouldn't have lied to me, and he told me that "he fights to the finish 'cause he eats his spinach". Perhaps an odd metabolism prevented his becoming lethargic from the spinach o.d.
Maybe that green stuff makes him stronger and tell lies, too.
Personally I always wondered what was in his pipe.
Oh, that was all green too!!
"I fights to the finish,
'coz I smokes me hashish
I'm Popeye the SmugglerMan".
Has a certain charm to it.

What? You didn't think Olive Oyl was hot? That chick drove me wild! That seductive walk of hers, those big eyes, and the lips.... wow!
I still have a poster of Olive Oyl on my bedroom ceiling.
Canned spinach. Yuck! I'm surprised he didn't upchuck.
Hey Gustaf that's why Popeye's wedding tackle was so smooth and wrinkle-free. He was always dipping it into Oli......................... <joke suspended by PoorTasteBlockingSoftware>
