"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 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 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. Still, even as a crusty old man, he was a roll model for
millions. "Fresh is survived by his second wife, Mrs. Butterworth. They
have two children and one in the oven."
