The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71. Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was never considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, even still he was a crusty old man, and was considered a roll model for millions.
Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Buttersworth, Hungry Jack, Betty Crocker, The Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy, describing Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded.
Towards the end it was thought he would rise again, but alas, he had reached his expiration date. Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough, two children, John and Jane Dough, plus they had one in the oven. His elderly father, Pop Tart, also survives him. The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.
