When I was 4 ish I would not eat spinach. My parents would successfully get me to eat a few pieces if they told me that I could not grow up big and strong like Pop-Eye. After hearing this I would flex my muscles and take a bite, grimace, swallow, maybe, and quite vocally refuse to eat any more. My parents would then repeat the procedure.
