THE PILLSBURY DOUGHBOY - GONE AT 71
NEW YORK (AP)--Veteran Pillsbury spokesman, 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, Captain Crunch
and many others. The graveside was piled high with
flowers 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. Still, even as a
crusty old man, he was a roll model for millions.
Doughboy is survived by his second wife, Play Dough.
They have two children and one in the oven.
The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.
