POPEYE® THE SAILOR MAN DAY
January 17 marks the 95th Birthday of the world’s most famous spinach loving, nautical hero — it's Popeye the Sailor Man! Today, we are taking epic strides to honor this legendary sailor who is tough and fit with tons of grit, as one of America’s most renown, pop-culture icons. After all, he yam what he yam!
Sailor. Tough-Guy. Hero. Legend.
Popeye's personality is like no other. He is unassuming and self-assured. Behind the tough exterior and one-eyed squint, he is a kind-hearted sailor who always goes above and beyond to help those in need. Even though his forearms bulge with superhuman strength, it's his determined sense of loyalty and justice that allows him to overcome any challenge. However, there is no love greater in Popeye's world than the love he has for his girl, Olive Oyl.
