Not Prince Albert In A Can



Pringles Can Creator Buried In Invention .

It's true. Fredric J. Baur, the organic chemist who designed the Pringles potato crisp packaging system was so proud of his accomplishment that a portion of his ashes has been buried in one of the iconic cans.

I guess it's his prerogative...

  2. His body is dead anyway, so why not?

    it's better than the inventor of the jumbo jet taking up space with HIS burial ...

  3. It's no weirder than the ashes of Gene Roddenberry & James "Scotty" Doohan being shot into earth orbit. It's not for me, but to each his own.

  4. I heard about this too coming home last night from work.

    The pringles can was his proudest achievement and wanted part of his ashes buried with it.

  6. I hope they cleaned out the can first. They can get quite greasy.
