19 out of 20. I missed the breakfast commercial question, which I never saw at the time. 😁😁😁😁😁
16/20
19/20 but the one I missed was the video game so I'm OK with that.
2 out of 20 I did very good
Not as easy as you think
17 out of 20! Not bad, I guess.
13/20....pretty good for not being a Popeye fan...lol
19/20 - The one I got wrong wasn't in the Animated series, but in the Bud Sagendorf comic strip version
Well it’s because of Popeye that I love spinach 👍🏿💯 Interesting fun fact about Popeye coining the phrase Doofus & Nintendo’s Donkey Kong was intended for Popeye 🥰 #LearnSomethingNewEveryday #RIP ROBINWILLIAMS DIED ON MY BDAY THAT YR... #BESTPOPEYEEVER
Me too! My grandmother used to tell me that if I want to be strong like Popeye, that I should eat my spinach. I even buy Allen's brand "Popeye" spinach. Oh, BTW, I got 16/20.
16/20 A few of them packed a powerful punch😂😂 Mumbling in my “Popeye’s voice”
I guess I didn't know as much as I need to know about Popeye
17/20 like the old ones and the way Popeye mumbles under his breath
19/20 Missed 17.
19/20. I only missed the question on the year in which Popeye made his debut.
Well blow me down! Me's got a 20 out of 20!
I actually got 20/20. I surprised myself that I remembered a lot of Popeye history that I read.
I loved Popeye as a kid, but I always found it irritating the way that Olive Oyl keeps yelling for him to help her out of whatever mess she got herself into. Never been crazy about spinach either; I always thought it was part of the Dept. of Agriculture's WW2 campaign to get kids to eat more vegetables, to make up for the shortage of meat. Nevertheless, I still feel warmth in the cockles of my heart for the old spinach eater. Loved the way Robin Williams portrayed him in the movie too, even though the critics didn't. Who cares what movie critics think, anyway? As Popeye says, "I yam what I yam and that's all that I yam!"
13/20. I needs me spinach! 🥗
15/20 to young to remember that cartoon. A lot of guesses.
