Pillsbury Doughboy Obituray


Veteran Pillsbury spokes-model 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, Chef Boyardee, and the Hostess Twinkies. 

ÊÊThe gravesite was piled high with flours as 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. 

ÊÊHe 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. 

ÊÊFresh is survived by his second wife. They have two children and
another in the oven. 

ÊÊThe funeral was held at 3:50 for approximately 20 minutes.
