Pillsbury

Pillsbury is a brand of American food products. It was founded in 1869 by Charles Alfred Pillsbury. The company initially focused on flour milling and later expanded into a wide range of baked goods and other food items. The iconic Pillsbury Doughboy, a plump, animated character, was introduced in 1965 and has become a recognizable symbol of the brand.

The Pillsbury Company was acquired by General Mills in 2001. While the Pillsbury name is still used for many of its products, the company itself is now a subsidiary of General Mills. Its product line includes refrigerated doughs, such as biscuits, cookies, and crescent rolls, as well as a variety of baked goods like cakes, brownies, and pancake mixes. Pillsbury products are widely available in supermarkets across North America. The brand is known for its convenience and accessibility in home baking and meal preparation.
