Ohio: Fredric J. Baur, the man who invented Pringles in 1966, has had some of his ashes buried in a Pringles can after dying last month aged 89. The remaining ashes were split between two urns. One was buried and the other was given to a grandson.
Baur was extremely proud of the Pringles design. The decision to bury him in a Pringles container was in keeping with the late inventor's wishes.
Baur, an organic chemist, was employed by Procter & Gamble Co. as a food storage technician. During his time with the company he worked in research and development along with quality control before retiring in the 1980s.
