The Pillsbury Doughboy Has Changed!

We all look for those familiar characters when we grocery shop; Tony the Tiger, Elsie the Cow, and more. Listening to a Pillsbury commercial, I realized that someone New is voicing the beloved Dough Boy! He definitely has more of a high falsetto voice now, and it seems a little odd. Which are your favorite 'food characters'?

None. I honestly never gave it any thought or looked for them when grocery shopping

@mm4731 :
even as a child? They also have "Cracker Jill" now, to include women in the Cracker Jack company. Inclusive snacks!

@LittleTexas : Did he lose weight or still looking like a marshmallow?

@mutton :
He's been taking Ozempic, like Oprah! No, just kidding. He looks the same, but his voice sounds like he Just hit puberty, and I know he is over 50! :D

@Jellybeaner :

Still love Frosted Flakes! I got these bowls during a promotion, some years back. Still my favorite bowl for cereal...for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

@LittleTexas : Sign of the times - he's probably trans now using "them" pronouns, going by The Pillsbury Doughthing.
