Popeye

Popeye is a cartoon character that was popular in the 1930s and is still remembered today. His most recognizable feature is his large forearms and the fact that he often eats spinach to get his strength. Popeye's adventures usually involve him saving someone or something using a combination of his strength, his wit, and his perseverance. Eating spinach gives him a sudden burst of strength, usually enough to defeat any foe that stands in his way. Spinach is a type of vegetable that is high in iron, a mineral which gives us energy to do things like run and lift things. Eating spinach gives Popeye an energy boost so he can use it to protect himself and help his friends.
