The idea for the Pillsbury Doughboy was born on March 18, 1965. Rudy Perz a copywriter working on the Pillsbury account for Leo Burnett advertising agency in Chicago came up with the idea for the brand mascot, who would pop out of a can of refrigerated dough. The character was named Poppin’ Fresh—a nod to the product’s quality and freshness. Perz came up with the idea while testing out Pillsbury dough in his own kitchen.
