I think that beats out a nice helping of Fettuccini Alfredo, in the "heart attack on a plate" category.

But at least one would die happy.

So interesting you dropped an "e".

When I was younger, Popeye was the name of a hamburger restaurant chain... Though nowadays, I find no evidence of this anywhere...

I just hope I didn't dream it up...

I would have sworn I remembered a burger chain named Wimpy's ("I will gladly pay you next Tuesday for a hamburger today."), but according to Wikipedia that chain never made it to any country I've ever been in.

So maybe it was a single burger joint somewhere.

Wimpy was certainly in Chicago in the latter 60s.

In the 80s and maybe 90s, Popeye's chicken licensed the comic characters. I think that was before it got bought and wound up headquartered in Atlanta-

In his defense, he didn't mean to send it to them...

One coach’s nightmare—sending his wank video to female players
 

Sometimes one wrong click really can change your life.
 
Take the case of Jeffrey Sirois. At 3:30pm on the afternoon of September 25, 2014, the 57-year old soccer coach and grocery store owner unbuttoned his blue jeans. Sitting on the brown suede love seat in the living room of his Lebanon, Connecticut home, Sirois held his smartphone at arm's length as he masturbated, recording a 10-second video clip of the act. Sirois sent the clip to his girlfriend, using the ephemeral messaging service Snapchat. He waited for confirmation that she opened the video on her own phone.
 
But no confirmation came. After several moments of waiting, Sirois wondered if he had made a mistake.
 
He checked his Snapchat history and realized the awful truth: instead of sending the message only to his girlfriend, Sirois sent it to all 30 people on his contact list, including at least six high school girls from the soccer team he coached at nearby E.O. Smith High School.

At the same moment, another varsity soccer player was "messing around with my phone" in her grandmother's home across town. She saw the same Snapchat story from Sirois' account. "When I saw it I freaked out," the girl told investigators. "I only looked at the video for a second before I shut it off... Coach can make people uncomfortable at times because he can be creepy or weird." But, she added, "He has never touched me or said anything inappropriate to me."

The Sirois story is unusual, but its underlying behaviors aren't so odd.

Start with sexting. Solid statistics on the practice are hard to find; most come from security firms with products to peddle. The Pew Research Center has doneadmirable work on relationships in the Internet era, however, and its February 2014 survey showed that sexting is well on its way to becoming an all-American activity. 12 percent of all smartphone users in America have sent a sext, while 27 percent have received one. Though such material is exchanged most by those in their twenties and thirties, 15 percent of all cell phone owners ages 45-54 have also reported receiving a sext.

As for sexting the wrong person, that too is a fairly common danger of over-excited smartphone use. Accounts of sexy messages gone awry are legion; the phenomenon is common enough to inspire advice columns on how to recover after such an event.

Combine sexting, commingled social media accounts, and the frictionless nature of digital communications, and the real surprise is that incidents like the Sirois case don't happen more often.

I dunno - i think friction was a significant part of his problem...
