Trivia
During the Great Depression, diners were a popular choice for cheap, quick food. They were the forerunner of today's fast food chains. Unfortunately, many America could not even afford to eat at such establishments.

Goofs
Popeye hands Bluto six sandwiches. Bluto spreads them out on his arm and there are nine. He flips them over, moves his arm, and there are eight. He tosses them in the air and eats all seven of them. Then again, math was never Bluto's strong subject.

Quotes
Wimpy: I'd gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.

Classic Popeye

Popeye and Olive Oyl open a restaurant. Unfortunately, their first customer is Bluto, who eats a bunch of food and then stiffs them on the bill. This leads to the usual fisticuffs with Popeye getting pummeled until you know what. Not too much suspense here.
