The veteran Pillsbury spokesperson, The Pillsbury Doughboy, died
yesterday of a severe yeast infection and complications from repeated
pokes to the belly. He was 71.
Doughboy was buried in a slightly greased coffin. Dozens of
celebrities turned out, including Mrs. Butterworth, the California
Raisins, Hungry Jack, Betty Crocker and the Hostess Twinkies, Captain
Crunch and many others.
The graveside was piled high with flours as longtime friend Aunt
Jemima delivered the eulogy, describing Doughboy as a man who 'never
knew how much he was kneaded.'
Doughboy rose quickly in show business but his later life was filled
with many 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, even as a crusty old man, he was considered a
roll model for millions.
Towards the end it was thought he'd rise once again, but he was no
tart.
Doughboy is survived by his second wife, Play Dough. They have two
children and one in the oven.
The funeral was held yesterday at 3:50 for about 20 minutes and was
well done.
