Oyl.

Intresting Facts
Popeye was a one-eyed, 34-year-old (born in a typhoon in

Santa Monica, California), semi-deformed-looking sailor with

a severe speech impediment
The Popeye cartoon has given a few terms and words to the
English language:
J. Wellington Wimpy, an apathetic, overweight, hamburgerloving friend of Popeyes is reputed to be the source of the
term wimp (meaning timid or cowardly)
Goon family, a group of strange, odd-looking creatures

(featuring Alice the Goon) gave the word goon its

meaning of weird or strange-looking.

 In Spain, the name of Popeyes girlfriend

Olive Oyl is seen as an insult to the olive tree

and she has been renamed Rosario.
. In 2004, the Empire State Building was lit up
in spinach green to honour Popeyes 75th
birthday.
Bluto's name was changed to Brutus when
King Features' television cartoons were
created - they believed (incorrectly) that
Paramount owned the rights to the name
Bluto.

POPEYE BRAND SPINACH...

The Popeye cartoons

were so popular during

the Depression, sales of
spinach in America
increased by 33%, and it
briefly slotted in as the
third most popular kids
food after ice cream and
turkey. Popeye spinach
is still the second
largest-selling brand of
spinach in America
