Popeye (video game)/Trivia

• What Could Have Been: Nintendo's Super Mario franchise, probably the most significant in videogame history, was essentially made with original characters because the company lost the rights to make Popeye arcade games...
  • Ironically, a few years after Nintendo became successful in American arcades, they did produce a Popeye video game. It played nothing like Donkey Kong, however.
  • The Popeye franchise itself only exists because a scientist got the decimal point in the wrong place when calculating the iron content of spinach.
    • Actually, it's been speculated that spinach was chosen because of its high Vitamin A content, not its iron content.
