AFTER SPECTACULAR RISE, NOTED DOUGH BOY HAS FALLEN
Veteran Pillsbury spokesman Pop N. Fresh, 71, died Wednesday of a severe yeast infection, complicated by obesity and hot air retention. He was cremated, (of course), and his remains were sealed in a greased loaf pan shaped urn and buried Friday in the Manna Memorial Gardens, near Bakersfield, California. Dozens of celebrities attended his funeral, including his longtime friends, Mrs. Butterworth, the California Raisins, Hungry Jack, Betty Crocker, Little Debbie, Sara Lee, and the Hostess Twinkies. The grave side was piled high with flours as his godmother, Aunt Jemima, delivered the eulogy. With her tears flowing like syrup, she said, "Pop N. never knew he was kneaded, but he always held a warm place in all our hearts. Who else could have spent his whole life naked, with the exception of wearing that cute little baker's hat, and still been so accepted by so many?"
What a Hoot!
