Please join me in remembering a great American icon – the Pillsbury Dough Boy, aka Pop N. Fresh. The veteran Pillsbury spokesman was 71.
Pillsbury Dough Boy Dead at 71 Funeral at 350 for about 20 minutes
The Pillsbury Dough Boy died yesterday of a yeast infection. He was 71. Fresh was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The gravesite was piled high with flours.
Longtime friend, Aunt Jemima, delivered the eulogy, describing Fresh as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded, Fresh rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers.
He was not considered a very “smart” cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, but was thought of a roll model for millions. Toward the end, it was thought he would rise again, but alas, he remained unleavened.
The Dough Boy is survived by his wife, Play Dough, and two children, John Dough and Jane Dough; plus one they had in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart. The funeral was held at 350 for about twenty minutes.
