I hope your right Christie. And to answer your question about doughboys, I have no idea. I have never even heard of one until I started reading this story. Whatever they are, people out there sure seem to eat a lot of them.
Pillsbury Crescent rolls were invented in the mid 1960s, designed to be a timesaver for the busy housewife who didn't have time to bake from scratch. The Doughboy (actually, his name is Poppin' Fresh) is the advertising icon for the brand.
The dough comes in a cardboard tube, which you whack against the edge of the counter (or press with a spoon). You take out the little circles and line them up on your cookie sheet, bake for 15 mintues at 400 degrees and voila! Hot, fresh baked biscuits!
Edna might argue about the quality but they really aren't bad. We usually have a tube or two of some sort of Pillsbury Poppin' Fresh product in the refrigerator in my house.
For you Brits...do you have a grocery store that sells food items for homesick ex-pat Americans? You might find them there. LOL
