Popeye The Sailor - Ancient Fistory Trivia - Did You Know?

The popularity of the character helped boost sales of spinach and the spinach-growing community of Crystal City, Texas erected a statue of the character in gratitude. There is another Popeye statue in Segar's hometown, Chester, Illinois. Another statue is in Alma, Arkansas, which claims to be "The Spinach Capital of the World". However, some have claimed that the "spinach" is in fact marijuana; apparently, "spinach" was a slang term for the drug in the 1930s, much in the way it is called "grass" and "weed" now.
