Please join us in remembering a great icon. The Pillsbury Dough Boy died yesterday of a yeast infection and complications from repeated pokes to the belly. He was 71.
Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects including Mrs. Butterworth ,Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker,
the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch.
The grave site was piled high with flours, as long time friend Aunt Jemima, delivered the eulogy,
descibing 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 turnovers.
He was not considered a very "smart" cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes.
Despite being a litle flaky at times, he even still, as a crusty old man, was considered a roll model
for millions. Toward the end , it was thought he would rise again, but alas, he was no tart.
Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough, two twin children, John and Jane Dough.
Plus it was reported they had one in the oven. Doughboy is survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.
The funral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.
