How Well Do You Know the Pillsbury Doughboy?: The lovable Poppin’ Fresh has been a fan favorite since his debut in 1965.

My botty best at summarizing from Wikipedia: poppin’ fresh is an advertising mascot for the Pillsbury Company . many commercials concluded with a human finger poking the Doughboy’s stomach . the doughboy responds when his stomach is poked the dough boy was originally designed by milt Schaffer . he was brought to life using stop motion clay animation . today, CGI is used in commercials . a three-dimensional Doughboy puppet was then created at a cost of $16,000 . voice actor Paul Frees was chosen to be Fresh’s voice . stop-motion animator George Pal was hired to animate him after Frees’ death in 1986, Jeff Bergman took over the role, until 2013 . the high-pitched giggles are done by JoBe Cerny. it is debated among collectors as to whether Poppie is Poppin’s wife, girlfriend, or sister . some reported that an attorney for general mills instructed her not to talk to the press.
