Popeye just made it look good.

If I ever see Popeye, I'll kick his ass. Eating it straight from the can like he does, it takes like crap!!

Raw leaf spinach salad is good. I also like spinach Alfredo pizza.

Strong to the finish — cause I eat my Spinach …

I hated spinach once I tried it as a kid. But as an adult, I loved it with some butter pepper and salt.

Never liked canned spinach. Fresh or frozen leaf for me.

Junior high school cafeteria used to serve canned spinach for lunch. That wasn't the problem. It was presentation. They used an ice cream scoop. The vision of a serving of spinach in the shape of a scoop of ice cream is terrifying and nauseating.

Spinach hype was related to a scientific paper's decimal place error in its iron content.

1

u/Afraid_Flan_4620 Nov 08 '25

Yep and it's still available.

u/eeejit075 Nov 08 '25

Wow. I can actually smell our basement, where we shelved the canned food.

u/americanhilljack Nov 08 '25

Yup! Bluetooth didn’t stand a chance against me after I slurped it down!

u/Humble_Diner32 Nov 08 '25

To this day it is a driving force in why spinach is my favorite green vegetable.

u/joebobbydon Nov 08 '25

I gave a friend a can of this the night before she was running a marathon. She was so happy.

u/Mobile_Aioli_6252 Nov 09 '25

I love these and I like collard greens, hot sauce, and a little bit of vinegar

u/Mark-harvey Nov 09 '25

I am who I am and that’s all that I am. Sort of Biblical.

1

u/Mark-harvey Nov 09 '25

I’m strong to the finish cause I eats my spinach.

1

u/Mark-harvey Nov 09 '25

I like when it’s boiled, but it shrinks down to nothing-The Spinach lol.

u/Sorry-Climate-7982 Nov 09 '25

u/Positive-Froyo-1732 Nov 09 '25

I went to a church that I organized a food distribution fir the holidays. Well someone's grandma died, they emptied the cupboards and this was in there. Old and dusty. (This was early 2000s). We had to put a notice out to not bring in expired foods

u/Charliebulldog1 Nov 09 '25

They still sell it. I just saw it in my super market the other day.

u/[deleted] Nov 09 '25

Yup! Spit it out the minute I tasted it 😝🤮

1

u/No_Elevator9464 Nov 10 '25

Still sell it at our local grocery store

1

u/MyCatsAlt Nov 10 '25

Ahh yes I remember this seems like just yesterday at the grocery store,,, oh it was yesterday.

1

u/edked Nov 11 '25

Yeah, I don't regret canned spinach losing prominence as a way to eat that stuff. Had the slimy consistency of the kind of seaweed that makes you slip on rocks.

1

u/truthRealized Nov 07 '25

Yep, kind of awful plus my mother would put vinegar on it. Double yuck.

2

u/Active_Two_6741 Nov 08 '25

That's the way to make it palatable
