 I am so sad to
report the following news item:
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
graveside was piled high with flours as 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 later in his
life his career was filled with many turnovers. He was
not considered a very smart cookie, wasting 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.
Any and all donations to the Fresh Memorial will be
