Pillsbury Doughboy
Reaches Expiration Date
Veteren Pillsbury spokesman Pop N Fresh died yesterday of a severe
yeast infection. He was 71.
Fresh was buried in one of the largest funeral ceremonies in recent
years. Dozens of celebrities turned out, including Mrs. Butterworth,
the California Raisins, Hungry Jack, Betty Crocker, and the Hostess
Twinkies.
The graveside was piled with flours as long time friend Aunt Jemima
delivered the eulogy, describing Fresh as a man who "never knew how
much he was kneaded," and "who always held a warm place in all our
hearts.
Fresh rose quickly in show business, and although his later life was
filled with turnovers, he refused to me flattened by fate. He was not
considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough and
half-baked schemes. Still, even as a crusty old biscuit, he was a roll
model for millions.
Fresh was preceded in death by two wives: Sugar (who succumbed to
diabetes in 1953) and Butterball (who died tragically in a fire in
1962) and is survived by his third wife, Honey. They have two children,
Peanut and Chip, and one in the oven.
The funeral was held at 2:25 for 20 minutes.
