Pillsbury Doughboy Dead at Age 71 Please join us in remembering a great icon and close friend of the band shown here leading the crowd in the chorus of Mustang Sally. Veteran Pillsbury spokesperson, The Pillsbury Doughboy, died recently of a severe yeast infection and complications from repeated pokes to the belly. He was 71. Old PDB as we liked to call him was a big fan of The Triple Threat Band. He often "Popped Up" at our shows as seen in the last picture of us taken together before his passing.............. Doughboy was buried in a slightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out, including Mrs. Butterworth, the California Raisins, Hungry Jack, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, Captain Crunch and many others. The graveside was piled high with flours as long-time friend, Aunt Jemima, delivered the eulogy, describing 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 many 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, even as a crusty old man, he was still considered a roll model for millions. Doughboy is survived by his second wife, Play Dough. They have two children and one in the oven. The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes. |
