Veteran spokesman The Pillsbury Doughboy , died yesterday of a severe yeast infection. He was 71. Pop-N-Fresh was buried in one of the largest funeral ceremonies in recent years.
Dozens of celebritiesturned out including: Mrs. Butterworth, the California Raisins, HungryJack, Betty Crocker and the Hostess Twinkies. The grave site was piled high with flours and 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 many turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie,
squandering much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Still, even as
a crusty old man, he was a roll model for millions.
Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, three children; John Dough, Jane Dough and Dosey Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.
The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.
