AND IN THIS CORNER...









Yes, we're beginning a new feature today, Throw Down Thursday! This is the day of the week you get to pit two people together and decide who would come out on top in a no-holds-barred entanglement! It may be two characters from commercials, from TV, from movies, any segment of pop culture. It may be having to choose between two songs and deciding which one is superior, and why. After you pick your winner, tell us what went into your thought process! (That's the fun part!) My best friend and I do this all the time at work during quiet moments (perhaps to the consternation of our co-workers!). Now it's your turn.




So, for today we have Mr. Whipple vs. The Pillsbury Dough Boy! Let me remind you of who we're talking about here:




Mr. Whipple ==>




or, The Pillsbury Dough Boy ==>




Okay, so you've got the two locked in a room. They have to fight each other to get out and survive. Who is your victor?

  1. Okay, so clearly I went easy on you today. This is a no brainer. Sure Mr. Whipple is a crabby old coot, and so has an edge to him that could lead to violence, but let's not forget the man squeezes toilet paper. Pop-n-Fresh, or whatever his name is, obviously has the advantage. People are always poking him, so he's immune to that. Plus, he could whip off that chef's hat in a heart beat, pull it over Whipple's eyes, and thrash away. That's my take on it anyway. What do you think?

  3. The Pillsbury dough boy. Why? Well, I've always thought Mr. Whipple was an old softie at heart. He'd be so busy enjoying squeezing the little cute boy he'd forget to be competitive. :)

    1. That is an excellent point, Cheryel! One I overlooked in my analysis. He would be squeezing the dough boy! Thank you for participating and sharing your insight!

  4. The Pillsbury dough boy. Why? Because he is cuter and definitely smarter and doesn't hide :)

    1. I'm so glad you guys put so much thought into this. I was over hasty with my decision. Whipple really is a wimp, isn't he? Thanks for clearing that up, Pamela!

  5. Uh, I'm pretty sure Mr. Whipple could squeeze the...dough out of Pillsbury. I gotta go with the Charmin squeezer.

    1. His hands would definitely be in shape from all that toilet paper squashing. You're certainly using your noggin there, Jannine! Thanks for playing!

  6. Mr. Whipple would be so busy poking the Dough Boy in the tummy that the Boy would knock him out. Winner: Pillsbury Dough Boy!

    1. Definitely could go down that way, Diane! We authors can see all the possibilities, can't we? I love that you came out to play with us, Diane! Thanks for popping in!

  7. DANG...I'm too late for my vote to count, but I would have to say Mr. Whipple and his squeezy ole hands. Of course, the poor little dough boy would no longer be giggling and rubbing his tummy. He'd be a sticky lump of over-squeezed useless dough.
