Vintage Poppin' Fresh: Mr. Pillsbury Doughboy

 

The Pillsbury Doughboy is a world-renown, lovable, giggling friend of anyone who bakes out of the Poppin' Fresh can. Over the last 40 or so years, the Pillsbury Doughboy has been portrayed in hundreds of different forms and today, vintage collectibles are still all the rage. Are you looking for Poppin' Fresh?

Who is Poppin' Fresh, the Pillsbury Doughboy? 

And who does the Pillsbury Doughboy giggle?

According to General Mills, the Pillsbury Doughboy was born in Chicago. He was the brainchild of Rudy Perz of the Leo Burnett advertising agency. The idea was that Poppin' Fresh popped out of one of Pillsbury's refrigerated dough cans, and his name represented freshness and quality. Everyone loved the squishy little helper right away.

Paul Frees of Boris in "Rocky and Bullwinkle" was the first voice of Poppin'. After him came Jeff Bergman, and today, it is JoBe Cerny.

As of 1998, the Doughboy routinely received some 200 fan letters a week and thousands of requests for autographs. Though you won't be able to find those today, you can find a lot of other great collectibles. And many of them giggle, too.
