Doughboy Dead at 71...
Veteran Pillsbury spokesman 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 and the
Hostess Twinkies. The gravesite was piled high with flours
and 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. He was not considered a very
smart cookie, squandering much of his dough on half-baked
schemes. Still, even as a crusty old man, he was a roll model
for millions. Fresh is survived by his second wife. They
have two children and one in the oven. The funeral was held
at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.
