Senior Moments

Found one that was introduced in 1970 but was related to one in 1965 - www.tvacres.com/advertising_mascots.htm - Poppin' Fresh Doughboy - Mascot for the Pillsbury Company's refrigerated dough products created in 1965 by Rudi Perz, an employee of the Leo Burnett Advertising Agency. Poppin' Fresh was a miniature blue-eyed man made of dough who wore a baker's hat. Whenever any of the Pillsbury refrigerated dough products were opened on the TV spots, he'd pop out and begin to praise their wonderful flavor and texture. He was so irresistibly cute that the humans in the commercials would always gently poke his spongy little tummy with their index finger. This action produced a charming giggle from Poppin' Fresh. In the 1970s Pillsbury also introduced Mrs. Poppin' Fresh (aka 'Poppy') who wore a bonnet. Poppin' Fresh and Poppy were both rubber dolls and their apparent motion was produced through stop-action photography. A toy line of dough boy products were marketed including: Flapjack-a {dog;} Popper-a little {boy;} Poppie Fresh-a little {girl;} Biscuit-a {cat;} Bun Bun-a {baby;} and Granmommer and Granpopper-Poppin Fresh's parents. The voice of the Pillsbury Doughboy was performed by Paul Frees (and Jobe Cerny, the Cheers detergent pitchman for Procter and Gamble ads). The Pillsbury's commercial jingle was 'Nothin' says lovin' like something from the oven.' During a 1998 monologue on THE TONIGHT SHOW comedian Jay Leno reported that '75% of people surveyed say they believe that the Pillsbury Dough Boy is a virgin. 'Apparently,' continued Leno, 'not everybody loves Sara Lee.' May 22 02, 3:47 PM
