Judging by the hat on the one in the oven, it appears that they disintegrate in about 10-12 minutes at 375 degrees…

What makes this so funny to me is, the commercial they have running where Doughboy is upset because the kids run past him and the mom says SO reassuringly,  
‘Don’t worry, they’ll be back’ and the little monsters DO come back and devour his little bun friends!!  
If cannibalism is eating people, what would the equivalent be if he’s depressed over his dough people not being eaten quickly enough?  
Doughbalism???

It’s just those haunting, empty eye sockets in the cooked Doughboys.

Crick & Watson:  
You didn’t warn me! I clicked on a couple before I about threw up the Cadbury Caramel Egg I was eating. So since you won’t make it clear, I will.

DO NOT FOLLOW THE LINK CRICK & WATSON GAVE!! IT IS SERIOUSLY DISTURBING!!!

Sorry to yell. Now don’t say I didn’t warn you.

I laughed pretty hard at that, Opal. Thank you for that!

However, I laughed even harder when I saw the commercial this picture was lifted from later on in the evening. (It’s for cookies.) I was thinking, “Hmm, that woman looks familiar…and the kitchen…HAH!”

_Damn_ funny!

Um…Sam, that’s not Opal. That’s an actress from an actual Pillsbury commercial (Like I said, I just saw it last night. It’s for cookies.)

Watch for it. I laughed even harder when I saw the commercial after seeing this pic. 🙂

## LOL! I didn’t notice the little guy peeking out the stove window until Arnold Winkelried pointed it out. I’ve seen this commercial a bunch of times, but I never noticed that little guy in the oven until now.
