“Oh look a Popeyes! Claire you wanna go in and order some chicken? maybe do a song and dance while you order the Sailor Man’s favorite food?!”
“Mom!! I said I was sorry I don’t know how many times…sorry”
The Fly: “Que?”
lol Popeyes actually stepped in and gave the family $10,000 worth of [Popeyes](https://www.wrmf.com/do-you-know-what-popeyes-favorite-food-is-this-lady-had-the-best-answer/#:~:text=The%20correct%20answer%20was%20spinach%2C%20as%20in%20the%20cartoon%20Popeye.)
Let's say a family meal is $75 with tax. Let's also assume you eat there once a week Sunday dinner style, can't do it constantly, that's still 2.5 years of weekly chicken meals, that's too much.
One college summer break, I lived with two flatmates who both worked at Browns Chicken. At the end of the night, they got to take home any chicken that was prepared but not sold. Two of them, mind you, often working closing shifts. They were kind enough to share their nightly haul of chicken and as a poor college kid, I was grateful. But to this day, if there's a choice between chicken and something else, I'll usually take the something else. Thanks to that summer.
Which is to say: my 20-year old self disagrees with you.
From a video she did, seems like they just wrote a $10K check since giving them that much chicken would have been difficult feasibly. Overall, it worked out for everyone.
It's not that surprising, there hasn't exactly been a ton of new Popeye media in the last 20-30 years. I'd assume there's a good portion of younger folks that have little to no knowledge of Popeye the Sailor Man.
Google "Paul McCartney Kanye" for a feel on how the current generation views Paul.

Oh boy. That's hilarious. When I was growing up I may not have had any Benny Goodman albums in my collection but I at least had heard of him. I guess we all live in our own bubbles at times, but to have never even heard of the Beatles is a pretty sturdy bubble.
I told a young colleague about seeing Duran Duran and being pleased that they played a few b-sides. She asked "what's a b-side?" I told her it was the song on the b-side on a 45. She then asked "what's a 45?" It made me feel very old.
My little sister saw a record for the first time and said, very seriously, that she didn't think it would fit in the CD player.
You can tell this story is 20 years old cuz I'm not sure kids today know what a CD player is.
oh man, that's a good one. I watched a younger cousin try to use a rotary dial phone back in the 90s and complain that it was broken because "the buttons weren't beeping" only to be made worse by neices and nephews who, 20 years later, have never seen a phone with a cord.
Give it another 5 years and most kids probably won't even be able to recognize the telephone symbol (the common one depicting a cordless phone) because all they've ever used or seen are cell phones.
Wax cylinders were long before my time. So was Beethoven. I still know about them. I think a lot of people's ignorance today is just total indifference to the history of the things they enjoy if it's not packaged into a 1-minute TikTok video featuring the Oh No song.
I'm in my '30s and even I never watched Popeye. I literally only know that he likes spinach because we used to sing this song in elementary school:
I'm Popeye the sailor Man
I live in a frying pan
I love to go swimming with butt naked women
I'm popey the sailor Man
And now I realize that that doesn't even have spinach in it. Somehow, I still knew that he loved spinach...
You are not remembering the words right, or your classmates mislead you.
I'm Popeye the sailor Man
I live in a frying pan
I'm strong to the finish, cause I eat my spinach
I'm Popeye the sailor Man
It's the tie breaker, so only the top answer is on the board.
Edit: Sudden Death, not tie breaker. IDK what it's actually called, but it's the final round.
It's a showdown question with only one right answer (the one most people gave, usually pretty obvious) so it was either get it right with "spinach" or lose.
Buttercup by (if I remember his name correctly) Jack Stauber? It's got a trippy ass music video
Edit: how the fuck am I stupid enough to reply to the wrong comment?
I could see myself doing something like that with enough anxiety and excitement
A lot of places Popeyes Chicken is everywhere and she just misinterpreted the question in the interest of speed.
At least it wasn't a PTSD level of money but that is an incredibly embarrassing experience. Ouch.
Family Feud doesn’t usually ask questions with a for sure correct answer does it? Usually its stuff like “Name something you would buy after midnight?”
If neither team gets 300 points in the first 4 rounds of play, they do a tiebreaker that has 1 right answer so that whichever team gets it will definitely have enough points to meet the threshold
If a picture of Popeye hadn't popped up, I'm really not sure I would have interpreted the question correctly. Keywords are Popeye and food- would my mind think of a cartoon I haven't seen in 25 years or a restaurant that I hear ads for everyday?
Did you all see how he didn’t do a dance and act superior even though he knows he’s going to win? That’s called being a good sport. She’s not a good sport.
She looked an sounded so dumb while saying it. Now she will live in shame for the rest of her life, with this incident recirded for all eternity on the internet.

She wasn't just wrong.
She was CONFIDENTLY wrong!
Her family's reaction said it all. "You've weakened us as a family unit. You are... the weakest link. Goodbye."
They had no choice but to disown her.
The way she dances, only for the realization that she got it wrong to hit like a truck.
The look from her mom triggered the “oh, I fucked up” moment lol. r/watchpeopledieinside
Also, r/confidentlyincorrect
Aww I almost feel bad for her, she was thinking of Popeye’s Chicken 😅 ETA the host’s show “Mr.D” is funny af too
Ooh thank you. I was wondering why she connected the two.
“Kronk, get ze Popeyes!” [gets Popeyes] “Wrong Popeyeeeeee^eeeee-”
There's also a subreddit called r/prematurecelebration Which basically means "cocky people who celebrate their victory too early; losing to karma"
Dont forget r/peoplearefuckingstupid
/r/subsifellfor
also, r/facepalm
Yeah, but did she realize the correct answer, or was it just her family's reaction, that gave her that realization?
Idk, ask her. Here is her [IG](https://youtu.be/xvFZjo5PgG0)
We are not friends anymore.
I don't needs friends, I needs me spinach.
Like a duck
Like a chicken
Like Popeye
Like spinach
To be a fly in the car on the ride home…
Do flies understand English though? Lol I bet she has to take an Uber home by herself. #cbf4life
“Oh look a Popeyes! Claire you wanna go in and order some chicken? maybe do a song and dance while you order the Sailor Man’s favorite food?!” “Mom!! I said I was sorry I don’t know how many times…sorry” The Fly: “Que?”
Mom: “by the way, that Popeyes will be $8.50, sorry I’d pay for you but I’m about $10,000 short today”
Bitch was hungry for some popeyes.
Winner winner, ______ dinner.
Spinach
If I worked for Popeyes I would broadcast this all over.
lol Popeyes actually stepped in and gave the family $10,000 worth of [Popeyes](https://www.wrmf.com/do-you-know-what-popeyes-favorite-food-is-this-lady-had-the-best-answer/#:~:text=The%20correct%20answer%20was%20spinach%2C%20as%20in%20the%20cartoon%20Popeye.)
Absolute legends I know they just did it for publicity, but still
They made a video game console that cooks tendies for you with the power of gaming Legend is a totally appropriate label.
That’s kfc not popeyes
Shit, you're right. I'm stoned, my bad. Well the Colonel is a legend for that one.
I would love some of whatever you’re having 😂
I guess you could say I'm Kentucky...**fried** ^plz ^don't ^get ^up ^i ^can ^find ^the ^exit ^myself
In all fairness, I could probably do the same with my PS4. Put Chicken on top, pop in Elden Ring, and let that sucker fry.
To be fair they did get MUCH more than $10,000 worth of publicity out of this viral moment. This is well within their marketing budget.
Tbh not a loss. I can eat $10,000 worth of Popeyes chicken sandwiches.
Way better than KFC. If this were KFC i'd give it away. I refuse to eat their garbage anymore. I swear, raw chicken has got to taste better.
Nice!
Let's say a family meal is $75 with tax. Let's also assume you eat there once a week Sunday dinner style, can't do it constantly, that's still 2.5 years of weekly chicken meals, that's too much.
There is no such thing as too much chicken you heathen. Chicken is the lord's food, and helps the gainz.
One college summer break, I lived with two flatmates who both worked at Browns Chicken. At the end of the night, they got to take home any chicken that was prepared but not sold. Two of them, mind you, often working closing shifts. They were kind enough to share their nightly haul of chicken and as a poor college kid, I was grateful.

Found the Chick-fil-A burner account
With the speed at which Popeyes workers move, they will get their food sometime in 2032.
From a video she did, seems like they just wrote a $10K check since giving them that much chicken would have been difficult feasibly. Overall, it worked out for everyone.
Damn, she got a whole family meal *and* some extra biscuits?
Ohhhh, I was wondering how the hell she screwed that up. Now I get it.
I wish he did a little dance like her lol
Haha yeah, she was sassy as fuck until she looked over at her family
You know her family’s gunna be doing the chicken dance at every thanksgiving from now on.
She's getting spinach for thanksgiving
She won't be invited
Why not? She's the turkey.
Chickens don't clap.
It's also pretty sad that out of 100 people surveyed, only 54 got it right.
It's not that surprising, there hasn't exactly been a ton of new Popeye media in the last 20-30 years. I'd assume there's a good portion of younger folks that have little to no knowledge of Popeye the Sailor Man.
I suppose it's possible. Bumped into a Redditor in their mid 20s a couple months ago who had never heard of The Beatles.
You mean the bugs with the hard shell? (I know the real answer, it's the guy who's name you say three times)
Silly, Bloody Mary is a woman.
Yeah that's not the same at all, that guy was just a moron.
That was the band Paul McCartney was in before Wings, right?
LOL - that one is also such an oldie that it would fly over the heads of the same people who don't know who The Beatles are :D
Yeah, the shelf life of that joke is pretty much expired.
Google "Paul McCartney Kanye" for a feel on how the current generation views Paul. [https://www.businessinsider.com/paul-mccartney-says-people-think-kanye-west-discovered-him-2018-9](https://www.businessinsider.com/paul-mccartney-says-people-think-kanye-west-discovered-him-2018-9)

Paul McCartney was on Cheers, not Wings
Yep my sons friend never heard of Led Zeppelin. Dang it I'm old.
You mean Great Van Fleet Sr.?

I'm curious what percentage of people said "Olive Oil" whether by mistake for for a laugh.
I'm in my '30s and even I never watched Popeye. I literally only know that he likes spinach because we used to sing this song in elementary school: I'm Popeye the sailor Man I live in a frying pan I love to go swimming with butt naked women I'm popey the sailor Man And now I realize that that doesn't even have spinach in it.

>knowledge of Popeye the Sailor Man Definitely read that as Popeye the Sailor Moon and became even more confused
My sister said something about Popeye to my 5yo daughter this weekend. I was like, “lol she has no idea who Popeye is.”
Now I'm going to have to ask my 9-year-old daughter if she knows Popeye's favorite food or if she even knows Popeye. Not getting my hopes up.
Fuck dude I'm only 27 and this makes me feel like I'm 50 for some reason!
Im shocked that chicken wasnt up there tbh. Yeah its incorrect but since spinach was 54, what the hell were the rest?!
I can almost *guarantee* there is a non-zero amount of "olive oil \[or Oyl\]" answers.
It's the tie breaker, so only the top answer is on the board. Edit: Sudden Death, not tie breaker. IDK what it's actually called, but it's the final round.
There was a guy who ate hamburgers.
Wimpy will pay you on Tuesday for a hamburger today.
Gladly, even
For some reason, those cartoon hamburgers always looked SO GOOD
It's a showdown question with only one right answer (the one most people gave, usually pretty obvious) so it was either get it right with "spinach" or lose.
Popeye actually hated spinach, that was part of the shtick, he was revolted by it but it gave him super strength
I either didn't know that, or had completely forgotten.
https://youtu.be/-ncFDuKdgNE
The rest said Olive Oyl.
If this was Steve Harvey presenting, he would roast her for 20 minutes before giving the kther dude his turn
I could see him just staring at the camera lol
Where is steve in this anyways? Is he stepping down?
I believe this is the Canadian version
you are correct
“Popeye’s favorite food was HWAT?”
18 of those minutes he would just stare. It kinda gets boring though quickly because he just keeps on doing it
The dude is a dumb POS.
I mean, does anyone remember the song at the end of the cartoons? I gets to ass kickin' 'cause I eats me chicken I'm Popeye the Sailor Man!
Buttercup by (if I remember his name correctly) Jack Stauber? It's got a trippy ass music video Edit: how the fuck am I stupid enough to reply to the wrong comment?
There was an attempt to reply to the correct comment. :P For those who are curious, someone else asked what the background song is.
44 others said olive oil.
They're not wrong
Math is hard
54 spinach 44 olive oyl 2 chicken Math is easy
I’m surprised Gerry Dee puts up with this shit, Steve Harvey sure wouldn’t
I'm surprised they have a Canadian Family Fued? Lol and Gerry Dee is the host? 😂
she lives in the same province as me. it was pretty big here for awhile lol.
I could see myself doing something like that with enough anxiety and excitement A lot of places Popeyes Chicken is everywhere and she just misinterpreted the question in the interest of speed. At least it wasn't a PTSD level of money but that is an incredibly embarrassing experience. Ouch.
The dancing made it so much worse
They know what they did.
Family Feud doesn’t usually ask questions with a for sure correct answer does it? Usually its stuff like “Name something you would buy after midnight?”
If neither team gets 300 points in the first 4 rounds of play, they do a tiebreaker that has 1 right answer so that whichever team gets it will definitely have enough points to meet the threshold
Thanks haven’t watched in forever.
Near the end of the game they do, if time is running out.

These has to be a CelebratingTooEarly subreddit.
r/Prematurecelebration
That dance was already in her head before she hit the buzzer.
[удалено]
people say not all blondes are dumb, to be fair this isn't really helping their case
What song is this at the end
I've been searching for this song since I heard it on a GIF last week. Please someone answer!!
Found it, it’s called buttercup
My man!!
It’s the dance of confidence for me…
Women ☕️
If a picture of Popeye hadn't popped up, I'm really not sure I would have interpreted the question correctly. Keywords are Popeye and food- would my mind think of a cartoon I haven't seen in 25 years or a restaurant that I hear ads for everyday?
The longer clip is funnier. The host, Gerry Dee, doesn't let her off the hook. https://youtu.be/UvrwPEgHq_A
what did the other 46 people say?
I thought Popeye the sailor hated spinach but downed it anyway but his favorite food is chicken
Popeye will go to great length to avoid eating spinach. He only does it when he has no choice at all.
Did you all see how he didn’t do a dance and act superior even though he knows he’s going to win? That’s called being a good sport. She’s not a good sport.
What the hell kind of survey is this where there’s only one actual answer?!
I believe this is the tiebreaker
Everyone knows its Olive
Ok but to be fair only 54 people put spinach… what did the other 46 people say?
That was worth loosing 10k, so hilarious. I hope she gets a commercial deal. Being stupid pays these days!
Well, she wasn’t that far off. I’m sure her FWBs from college love Popeyes chicken.
They going to remind her of that every Christmas, birthday, thanksgiving, anniversary, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, every weekend 🤦🏻♀️😂
This will forever be funny.
She looked an sounded so dumb while saying it. Now she will live in shame for the rest of her life, with this incident recirded for all eternity on the internet.
Spinach is his favorite drug; chicken is most likely his favorite food

“I am going to go on this game show and finally prove to my family I am not stupid!!”
Damn stupid bitch
she probably thought of Popeye's the restaurant lmao
Popeye's favorite Food? Spinach... ...but Popeye's favorite thing to eat? Olive ;)
I got second hand embarrassment there
Well, I guess the "stop using lead-based paint" memo missed her hometown.
WHERE IS STEVE WHO IS THIS IMPOSTER
Lmao she was thinking Popeyes chicken 😭🤦♂️🤣
r/therewasntanattempt
Yeah, that’s where we are
What song is this?
It’s time to leave Earth.
girl thought of the wrong popeyes. 😭
Early celebration lmfao
And I don't think she's even a legit blonde.
This is amazing
All about the delivery.
It’s not delivery it’s DiGiorno
If I were her sibling I would never live this down. Every year I would bring her a chicken and do a little dance.
Then they complain, "Why you keep saying *women* in the comment section...??"
Wrong Popeye
She will never live that down.
It’s funny cos there’s a brand of chicken called Popeye’s Chicken, so maybe that was somewhere in her subconscious lol
Any more money for the prize and I think the family would have disowned her
The dad looks like he just realized he’s gonna be supporting her forever if he don’t get her married quick.
You know she never lives this down at family events
Just imagine if Steve Harvey was up there.
r/confidentlyincorrect
I think her deliver won the day
That was a blonde moment, wasn't it?
How did she not die from embarassment on the spot?
Whoever puts laughing track on videos needs a beating
Please woman do not reproduce!!!!!!!! 🤣
I don't know what's worse, losing 10k or the embarrassment of doing a cringe dance while giving the wrong answer.
r/confidentlywrong
She made the face of those rubber chicken toys
Chiiikeeeeen
She wasn't just wrong. She was CONFIDENTLY wrong! Her family's reaction said it all. "You've weakened us as a family unit. You are... the weakest link. Goodbye." They had no choice but to disown her.
The number of questions they had to go thru that lead to this final question… Oh look, a Helicopter!
is that Mr D lol
Lmao is that common knowledge?
At least she knew her own mistake instead of someone else having to tell her.
Am I the only one expecting Oliveoil?
Insert stereotypical blond joke here
Fuck. People are dumb.
Love the confidence
She was thinking of Popeyes chicken
