When I was a kid, I HATED spinach! I also got the line from
my mother that Popeye eats spinach and it makes him strong.
I won that battle of wills, but about 20 years ago I learned the
scientist who measured the amount of iron in spinach made
an error.
He put a decimal point in the wrong place which exaggerated the
amount of iron in spinach by a factor of 10. If my mother were
still alive, I would give her a big I told you so!

I was an aberration. I liked spinach with vinegar, and Popeye reinforced it. I wanted to open a can by squeezing it with my fist and suck it in through a tobacco pipe so I could beat the crap out of Jay Neidermeyer.
No idea which cartoon character got me to like asparagus.
