*I understand how it feels, playa

Ever wonder how the Pillsbury Doughboy started? Look no further. He was thought up by a guy under pressure to create an advertising campaign for Pillsbury Crescent Rolls, hence, Poppin’ Fresh. Actually, Poppin’ Fresh is the real name of the Pillsbury Doughboy but I’ve always known him as the latter.

*where it all started for the Doughboy

Anyways, my boy, the Doughboy, was originally created for a total cost of…$16. Originally, Poppin’ Fresh was going to be animated but his creator thought better and went with stop motion clay animation. The Doughboy has been rollin’ for over 600 commercials and 50 different products. The Doughboy’s got dough, becoming one of the most famous icons in American advertising history.
