From the article in Advertising Week by Heather Taylor:
What’s that, you say? Poppin’ Fresh has a family? Yep, he sure does! Some of you might already know about Poppie Fresh, the Doughboy’s friendly, female counterpart. Making her debut in the early 1970s, Poppie was created by Carol H. Williams at the Leo Burnett advertising agency. Williams worked alongside Rudy Perz (the creator of the Pillsbury Doughboy) to develop Poppie who was nicknamed “The Little Girl with Big Ideas.” While Poppin’ Fresh represented fresh dough products, Poppie Fresh introduced all of the sweet products like Danishes.
However, there is one distinct difference between the two. Unlike the Doughboy, Poppie was not allowed to be poked in the tummy. Williams did not approve of a large, masculine hand poking a tiny character that identified as female without her consent, and the team at Leo Burnett agreed with her decision.
