Ok, I get the Pillbury Pillboy being compared in name to the Doughboy, in stature to Mr.Peanut (with his thermometer “cane”), and even Speedy (with his ice pack hat), but I’m not getting the reference to the Michelin Man. Anyone else with me on this one?

I thought Pillsbury Pharmaceuticals was a play on Pillsbury the flour people…but it’s PILLSbury. PILLS…bury.
