After the Popeye cartoon strip was launched in 1931, spinach sales in the United States rose by 33 per cent. However, there is no data available about the sale of olive oil!
Yes, but did you know that they used spinach as his "power-up" because a study had a misprint, and they mistakenly thought it had 10 times the iron that it actually has?

Talk about a fortuitous mistake.
Hi Bart,
I have a dim memory of being told that about five years ago.
I'll check it out when I have time.
Cheers and thanks for that nugget of information.
