The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma
complications from repeated pokes in 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 , HungryJack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker,
the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch . The grave site was
piled high with flours. Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and
lovingly described 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 little flaky at times he still was a
crusty old man and was considered a roll model for millions.
Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, two children,
John and Jane Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also
survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart. The funeral was held
at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.
