Veteran Pillsbury doughboy Spokesperson POP N. Fresh died
Wednesday of severe yeast infection. He was 71. He was
buried Friday in one of the biggest funerals in years.
Dozens of celebrities turned out, including, Mrs. Butterworth,
The California Raisins, Hungry Jack, Betty Crocker, and the
Hostess Twinkies. The grave side was piled high with flour as
long time Friend Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy, describing
Fresh as a man who "Never knew he was kneaded".
Fresh rose quickly in show business, but his later life was
filled with turnovers. He was not considered a smart cookie,
and wasted much of his dough on half baked schemes. Still even
as a crusty old man, he was a roll model to millions. Fresh is
survived by his second wife. They had two children and one in
the oven.
