Pringles Designer Buried in Pringles Tube

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

Dr Fredric J. Baur, who was 89, had told his family to ensure his final resting place was the inside of one of his most famous creations.

They honoured his request by having his ashes buried in a Pringles tube – and a more conventional urn for the overflow – at Arlington Memorial Gardens in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Dr Baur, who was a retired chemist and food storage technician at Pringles owners Procter and Gamble, patented the design for the saddle-shaped crisp’s vertical container in 1970.
His daughter Linda told the Cincinnati Enquirer that the packaging was his “proudest accomplishment.”

He also invented several other products, including a freeze-dried ice cream, which didn’t enjoy as much success.

His son Lawrence Baur told the Enquirer: “Basically, what you did, you added milk to it, put it in the freezer and you had ice cream. That was another one he was proud of but just never went anywhere.”

That is how it is to be done.

Did the guy who made the vacuum have his ashes put inside one? He should have.

Wonder what flavoured tube he's in?

Haha! Read it properly. I was thinking he was buried in a man-sized tube lol. Nope it's his ashes.

Wonder if it was BBQ flavour?

That's what I thought when I read the title of the thread. When I read the first post though, I realized it was just his ashes.

it would be great to see a casket designed as a pringles tube. although, ashes kept in a pringles tube is probably more practical.
