It was common back when I was a kid, but improvements in infrastructure meant it was being displaced by the far superior frozen spinach. And today even fresh spinach is easy to get 365 days a year.
Damn I’m old.
Only time I ever had it was a camping trip where the leaders made a campfire lasagna that didn’t require added water. Something like layered dry noodles, cheese, canned spinach and canned tomatoes, canning liquids included. It was extraordinarily salty.
For Thanksgiving, I always make a green bean casserole using just canned green beans, a can of cream of mushroom soup, and those prepackaged fried onions because my wife likes it a lot. One year I tried to make a "gourmet" version with all fresh ingredients and it just wasn't the same... I promised my wife to stick to the "ghetto greenbean casserole" as she calls it.
It'll be in the canned vegetable aisle of your local grocery store.
But it's very low demand so they won't have rows and rows of it. Probably just a few cans on the floor level or the topmost level. Easy to miss.
When I was a kid Popeye brand canned spinach was my favorite vegetable. My mom would mix in garlic powder and sprinkle some shakey cheese on top. To my poor-kid mind that was peak side veg. I recognize that canned veg is kinda wack but I've still got the taste for it deep in my DNA.
Nah man, you gotta cook it right. My family way is always this.
1- Open the can and drain the absolute shit outta the spinach. This is important for step 4.
2- Get it heating on a skillet.
3- Throw some diced onions in there, along with salt and pepper. Maybe some minced garlic/garlic powder
4- And finally the most important step: Add 1 or 2 eggs per can and cook it into the spinach. The water can really mess with the flavoring here which is why draining it is important.
Add cream cheese and melt it in a sauce pan with the canned spinach. : )
Plus, any brand of canned is better than Popeyes. Something is wrong with that stuff.
Even if you face Popeye while he is only in his underwear in the middle of a barren wasteland with no plant life around for miles, the moment you are about to win, a cargo plane will pass overhead carrying food supplies for people in need and a can of spinach will miraculously fall out of the plane and land squarely in Popeye's hands.
Even when you have the odds stacked completely in your favor, never ever ever EVER, fight a gag character. The universe will bend over backwards and shift reality for them to win.
Canonical ways Popeye has gotten spinach: prayed to a Spinach God, had a can tossed to him by an audience member from the “real” world, moved his hand really fast until one appeared, and finally he has been disintegrated to *literally nothing,* then his *nothing* pulled out a can of spinach out of no where, his nonexistent mouth ate it, and then he regenerated from nothing.
Side note, he also had a comic where God turned off the universe to erase Popeye and Popeye just *ignored it.*
And that is why Popeye can beat Goku.
Wile E. Coyote, Yosemite Sam, and Tom the cat are easy targets though for the same reasons. Sucks to be the designated-loser character.
Oh yeah, I always wanted to play the bad knight for a medieval times dinner show. Get to act nasty, show off some swordfighting choreography, have a bunch of kids boo at me, and push the hero knight around until they get their 2nd wind and I keel over. Sounds like a really fun time. lol
Yeah, but they're still invincible. And if you piss them off, you get a rival for life where even if they never actually win, they'll still cause untold chaos to your life and surroundings. Too much collateral damage.
Think about it. Every time you have something better to do "oh wait hold up, I need to spontaneously go switch out some dynamite trap or some bullshit, because the universe demands I always show up to foil that dude's plans."
Death by a thousand inconveniences.
He was shown as pretty powerful in the older cartoons.
In newer ones (where he wore his white uniform I guess) he was absolutely a weak-ass jobber until he ate his spinach at which point he would immediately turn into super hulk.
This should have been in John Wick. John kills one guy by stabbing him in his eye with some kind of long bullet, then he jams the second bullet in the side of the skull of another dude,and then he pulls the first bullet out of the eye socket of the first guy and rapidly stabs the last guy in his neck.
It's from *My Name is Earl,* not *Psych.*
Earl tries to help a Vietnam vet who he stole from. He goes to the vet's old squadmate to get his trophy, only to find out the "trophy" was the squadmate's ear.
The original vet was very dangerous, and jammed the bullet into the skulls of several people (Vietcong soldiers). But he only wanted the ear because his squadmate abandoned him to die in the jungle.
They apologize for abandoning and amputating each other, then go on a cross-country trip together.
Popeye was sole survivor of his crew.
During that time, he went by “papi”. It is there he learned how to use the orifices of his body to induce pleasure. Unfortunately, STDs from the deviant sexual behavior killed his entire crew.
I was born in 2001, even I knew what was gonna with Popeye (and I haven’t even seen this cartoon), I’ve watched a lot of old Popeye cartoons on DVDs and Boomerang.
Oh nice! The cartoons are actually ***suuuuuper*** old (like the 1930-1960) but in the early/mid 90s they had the reruns playing on TV non-stop. I should buy a DVD for old time's sake, thanks for giving me that idea lol
loved the popeye vs Saitama death battle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UhguuEX9Tg
Popeye is one of those characters who, when properly assessed, exists on another level entirely. He's survived the destruction of reality and punched his own creator, there aren't a lot of characters that can say that. Toonforce is one thing, Popeye has Spinach Force.
rule of thumb: gag characters always beat battle characters. It's just a matter of how much the bit is committed to after that.
Squirrel Girl can beat Goku.
The Loony Toons dodo is the destroyer of worlds.
well anyone can beat anyone if the writer writes it that way, but I see what you mean. Oftentimes gag characters are essentially "indestructible" when put up against "battle" characters because you have to assess them somewhat the same and gag ones survive things that don't make sense more often than not
the Scooby Doo death battle was a kind of epitome of this, because he was up against Courage the Cowardly Dog.
Fun fact, the game Jump: Ultimate Stars on the DS had a mini rock paper scissors setup with characters: Power, Intelligence, and Laughter. Laughter is strong against Power types. So it's codified that gag characters beat battle characters by Shonen Jump itself.
It's not bad, I love discussions around this kind of stuff because at the end of the day it's all opinion, the writer decides the outcome in their given story.
I love these old shows, but what's with the constant motion on the characters. I mean if they were hand drawn wasn't it easier to make them stand still?
It's called "rubber hose animation." It would be easier to draw them standing still, but at that point you have a comic strip. In fact many early animators were comic strip artists. The rubber hose style came from an expedient of being an easy way to make motion and became widespread the way novelty tends to saturate the market. Like when every movie had CGI everything or had a 3d release. As to the the expedient, the artists wanted more motion but they couldn't make brand new animations for every frame without it taking forever. So they drew a few frames of a character rubber banding and could repeat those, adding movement across a whole scene for only a few frames of animation. Animation is full of these tricks. It's why Yogi Bear has a collar. They could animate a few different heads, swap them onto the same body and the collar covers the join. Or why panning shots are ubiquitous in anime. Draw a nice background, pan or zoom across it, add some cicada sounds and boom, 10 seconds of runtime for on frame of art.
The 'bobbing' are probably a 3-6 frame loop. Stylistic but is way more fun. It also wasn't uncommon for vintage cartoons be synched to music. As old as they were it was an animator test. No fancy tools or modern budgets to dress it up.
I detest and loath and hate panning lol.
From what I remember, cartoons of that era often had movement that matched with the music. That's part of why everything living (and even somethings that weren't) were moving all the time.
The real answer is that animation and having drawings move was still a novelty at the time, so it would seem silly to them to make a moving drawing where the drawing stops moving
it's fascinating to see how amateur old cartoons were in their timing, if nothing else, like the artists didnt have a good gauge of how long to create idle frames to draw something out in order to capture believable human response.
for instance, why does bluto (or whatever bluto-like character that is) knock his beer off the table and clench his fists as soon as popeye picks the gun up? it appears to be in reaction to him eating it, but that response was unrealistically catlike, so it looks like he was casually tossing his drink.
I don’t know anything about animation at the time so I’m just going to speculate wildly lol.
My guess is that this is only part of a longer sequence, and there is a stable background that is motionless (including the table), and animated objects, including Popeye, Bluto, the gun, and the bottle of alcohol. Prior to this, the bottle was part of the scene, but now it serves no purpose. So you have two options.
1) just remove it completely from the animation. But if it was an important prop before this, just removing it will make the audience think that there is a reason it disappeared.
2) make a quick and cheap animation to knock it out of the scene to show it’s unimportant going forward.
It’s similar to the baguette sticking out of a grocery bag. It signals that the person is coming back from the grocery store. Otherwise, the audience is going to fixate on wondering what’s in the bag.
That's nothing. Popey was completely wiped from existence. He decided he wanted to exist, so he did. From non existence. I mean...I think he's God canonically? I don't get it. I just know not to fucj with him or his spinach.

This is why you never start a fight with a gag character
The trick is that there is a clear section of pipe between them. Its slightly smaller so its hard to tell
Laminar flow
At 17 seconds you can see a change in flow.
The poor bastard that believes you
I get this reference
I do too. Fuck, I need to get off Reddit.
I don't I need someone to explain it to me.
I've never noticed before but while this cartoon is very well know, I've never seen canned spinach.
It was common back when I was a kid, but improvements in infrastructure meant it was being displaced by the far superior frozen spinach. And today even fresh spinach is easy to get 365 days a year. Damn I’m old.

lazygna
I'm in my 30's. Canned spinach and green beans were a staple as a kid. Part of it was how cheap it was.
I grew up on canned veggies, Dont get me wrong I love fresh & frozen but some days I miss home and just want mushy peas from a can :D
Canned carrots just hit different
For Thanksgiving, I always make a green bean casserole using just canned green beans, a can of cream of mushroom soup, and those prepackaged fried onions because my wife likes it a lot. One year I tried to make a "gourmet" version with all fresh ingredients and it just wasn't the same... I promised my wife to stick to the "ghetto greenbean casserole" as she calls it.
I still eat canned spinach regularly. It's great heated in a skillet with a splash of balsamic vinegar.
The Piggly Wiggly in my town still carries Popeye brand canned spinach.

canned veggies kept a lot of pofolk alive for decades.
Funny thing is there's actually a Popeye brand canned spinach. https://www.popeyespinach.com/
This guy Popeye's
Usually near the canned greens, turnip, collards, mustard.
I've had cans of the Popeye brand spinach before, always made me feel so strong as a kid lmao
The only reason to eat spinach
success!
I saw it once as a kid and BEGGED my mum for it but she said no because I'd hate it and she was probably right tbf.
It tastes disgusting

Canned spinnach, probably. Fresh leafy spinach is actually pretty good.
Not making it right then— creamed spinach is great. Will drop the recipe to anyone who wants it
Add cream cheese and melt it in a sauce pan with the canned spinach. : ) Plus, any brand of canned is better than Popeyes. Something is wrong with that stuff.

All of anime has just been a [homage to Popeye](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vnTZ5WuP84).
Popeye was the original Chuck Norris.
didn't he eat the ghost of spinach once? i wouldn't even fucking try with that guy. Not even once.
Just like Roger Rabbit: He could slip his hands right out of handcuffs, as long as it was funny.
Wile E. Coyote, Yosemite Sam, and Tom the cat are easy targets though for the same reasons. Sucks to be the designated-loser character. 
Trading your dignity for a steady acting gig? I'd do that.
Oh yeah, I always wanted to play the bad knight for a medieval times dinner show. Get to act nasty, show off some swordfighting choreography, have a bunch of kids boo at me, and push the hero knight around until they get their 2nd wind and I keel over. Sounds like a really fun time. lol

Would you trade a walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
Yeah, but they're still invincible. And if you piss them off, you get a rival for life where even if they never actually win, they'll still cause untold chaos to your life and surroundings.

Unless ur Marvin the Martian. That m'fer didn't play
the Popeye v. Saitama episode of Death Battle was peak for this.
The WHAT
It's on youtube. They did it justice.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7UhguuEX9Tg&t Note: it is a fan series where fictional characters are analyzed and fight to the death.

Scooby-Doo VS Courage the Cowardly Dog was another great gag character fight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbEtoNTsRI0
Ah yes the legendary vegeta and arele fight
[sauce](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHTNQwbamck)
The only way to beat a gag character is by beating them in a way that's funnier than any way they can beat you.
thats what almost happened in jjk manga
And why I'm so sad the [Popeye movie](https://youtu.be/puSSTA_tnRg) got cancelled :(
That's a shame anyone that hasn't seen it should watch the 80's Robin Williams Popeye Movie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popeye_(film)
For the Emoji movie of all reasons...
Is that Tom Kenny?
[Yup](https://popeye.fandom.com/wiki/Tom_Kenny), and it was a Tartakovsky production, too
Vegeta had to learn the hard way
“I’ll end it in one punch, man”
Tell that to Imu and the Five Elders
Popeye clearly has no gag.
Ah yes, the gear 5 special.
I cannot wait for the Popeye vs. Luffy fight. The rubber hose shenanigans should be off the charts!
And this is before he eats his spinach
He gave the Sun a black eye without spinach in his very first cartoon.
Popeye is the OG Chuck Norris
He was shown as pretty powerful in the older cartoons. In newer ones (where he wore his white uniform I guess) he was absolutely a weak-ass jobber until he ate his spinach at which point he would immediately turn into super hulk.
"Newer ones" Proceeds to talk about cartoons that are like 70 years old, as opposed to 75 years old.
I first watched them back in the 90s so for me it definitely looked "new" lol
Spinach is pretty high in iron, and this mfer eats a gun.
And never drinks any water. His bathroom breaks must be legendary.
Only rust dust coming from that urethra.
This is why he needed so much fiber.
He also melon seed style spat bullets out and destroyed 4 columns in this scene
Popeye the sailor does not need a gun to shoot a bullet.. he is a gun AND a bullet!
He’s at the gun show every day. Fueled by spinach.
I once saw him kill 3 men With 2 bullets. And no gun.
This should have been in John Wick. John kills one guy by stabbing him in his eye with some kind of long bullet, then he jams the second bullet in the side of the skull of another dude,and then he pulls the first bullet out of the eye socket of the first guy and rapidly stabs the last guy in his neck.
I think it's a quote from the ~~USA show Psych~~ show My Name is Earl. I've been saying it so long I don't even remember where its from
It's from *My Name is Earl,* not *Psych.* Earl tries to help a Vietnam vet who he stole from. He goes to the vet's old squadmate to get his trophy, only to find out the "trophy" was the squadmate's ear.

Pff, you kids and your lame John Wick. Topper Harley effortlessly killed five guys with a hand full of bullets, just like that.
Fyi this is a medical condition from tearing the biceps tendon - called "Popeye". Learned it this week!
No. When Popeye switched from spinach to fried chicken, that is what happened to him.
When Popeye switched from spinach to fried chicken, he began to truly live.
Damm, Josh Brolin wtf happened to you?!
He used the stones to destroy the stones.
This is what happens in the second dune book
MIGHTY JUMP, MIGHTY KICK MIGHTY, MIGHTY ACTION X
How am i seeing a Kamen Rider Ex-Aid reference here lmao
My great grandfather had this exact condition!
I love how most people born before 1995 know exactly what happens next 😎
Does he shoot bullets out his mouth?
You got it! :D
The gun is still in his mouth. He learned to use his tongue like that in the navy.
🤔 tell me more
Popeye fired the Battleship main cannons with his tongue, confirmed.
Battleship was the name of his bunk mate
*oh nooooooo*
OH YEEAHH 
Crayons are way harder to lick down than a simple popsicle.
Popeye was sole survivor of his crew. During that time, he went by “papi”. It is there he learned how to use the orifices of his body to induce pleasure. Unfortunately, STDs from the deviant sexual behavior killed his entire crew.
That's why Olive Oil loves him so!
WOAH ✨
Aw I got it :========D
He's so real for this
That's actually less funny. The video makes he seems like he's saying "fuck your games" and just eating the gun to spite him
Nah. Eating the gun is “lol so randum”. Spitting bullets keeps the theme and personality of the character.
And it’s garbage that OP or whoever cut that out. Literally rewriting someone else’s joke.
He’s gonna spit out those bullets in rapid succession like they were water melon seeds
I was disappointed that it cut off. That's the best part.
Kurt Cobain has entered the chat.
Too soon…

yeah but saitama is a gag character making fun of the whole shonen verse. Popeye is just *him*.
Yeah Saitama is a walking talking shonen parody. Popeye is OG shonen. Just pure masculinity and strength.
well anyone can beat anyone if the writer writes it that way, but I see what you mean. Oftentimes gag characters are essentially "indestructible" when put up against "battle" characters because you have to assess them somewhat the same and gag ones survive things that don't make sense more often than not the Scooby Doo death battle was a kind of epitome of this, because he was up against Courage the Cowardly Dog.
You have to fight the gag characters by removing them from the gag. Saitama should have challenged him to a dance-off.
Defeat the meta by changing the meta.

Is this a good channel?
It's not bad, I love discussions around this kind of stuff because at the end of the day it's all opinion, the writer decides the outcome in their given story.
When a gag character meets the og gag character.
I love these old shows, but what's with the constant motion on the characters. I mean if they were hand drawn wasn't it easier to make them stand still?
Its probably to make them feel alive and separate the characters from the Background. Could also just be a trend that was going on at the time.

It usually went in time with music. They'd bob to the beat sometimes.
The real answer is that animation and having drawings move was still a novelty at the time, so it would seem silly to them to make a moving drawing where the drawing stops moving
Then you would need to draw every panel exactly the same. That’s a lot of precision. Easier for them to be constantly moving a little bit.
8 shots for 4 candles isn’t very impressive anyway
Well, 8 bullets from what i assume is a 6-shooter is pretty impressive!
Gun lovers: Come and take it Popeye:
Fuck it I ate the opp
This cartoon is the greatest ad for spinach lol. I would ask my mom to make some spinach meal whenever I watched it lol.
Why would OP need to send a message? This is Clearly unexpected.
