Designer of Pringles can is buried in his invention
Edited on Mon Jun-02-08 03:08 PM by Shine
<snip> CINCINNATI, Ohio (AP) -- The man who designed the Pringles potato chip packaging system was so proud of his accomplishment that a portion of his ashes has been buried in one of the iconic cans

The man who designed the Pringles can had part of his cremated remains buried in one, his family says.
Fredric J. Baur, of Cincinnati, died May 4 at Vitas Hospice in Cincinnati, his family said. He was 89.

Baur's children said they honored his request to bury him in one of the cans by placing part of his cremated remains in a Pringles container in his grave in suburban Springfield Township.

I wonder if they chose a special flavor can? :rofl:

Pizza? BBQ? Plain?

Inquiring minds want to know.

4. My dear Shine!
Now that's a hell of a question!

Somehow I envisioned him buried in a replica of a can...a full-sized replica!

Flavors never entered my mind at all!

:yourock:
