The Pillsbury Doughboy R.I.P.
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, the Hostess Twinkies, Cap'n
Crunch, and many others.
The graveside was piled high with flours.
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, as he wasted 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. Toward the end it
was thought he'd rise once again, but he was no tart.
Doughboy is survived by his second wife, Play Dough.
The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes
