Pillsbury

Figure1

Chubby, giggly and ever-pokeable, the Pillsbury Doughboy has become one of the most easily recognizable American icons. The little guy has made a lot of dough for the Minneapolis-based company. Although the Pillsbury name is normally associated with rolls, buns and other "poppin' fresh" bread products, the company's plentiful pantry also stores cookies, pizzas and side dishes. Pillsbury sells a host of familiar brands such as Hungry Jack biscuits, Old El Paso Mexican Foods, Progresso soups and Italian foods, and Totino's snack products. An apparent master of fantastical, food-promoting creatures, Pillsbury also owns the rights to the Jolly Green Giant. Pillsbury is one of the brands under the General Mills umbrella.
