CINCINNATI (AP) — The man 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.

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. The rest of his remains were placed in an urn buried along with the can, with some placed in another urn and given to a grandson, said Baur's daughter, Linda Baur of Diamondhead, Miss.

Baur requested the burial arrangement because he was proud of his design of the Pringles container, a son, Lawrence Baur of Stevensville, Mich., said Monday.

Baur was an organic chemist and food storage technician who specialized in research and development and quality control for Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble Co.

Baur filed for a patent for the tubular Pringles container and for the method of packaging the curved, stacked chips in the container in 1966, and it was granted in 1970, P&G archivist Ed Rider said.

Baur retired from P&G in the early 1980s.

He must have been tiny.

They didn't really have to cremate him....if they put him in the can he would have eventually become dust just like the last dozen or so Pringles in every can.

All joking aside....that was a great invention.

[bkkcoh]

Why would he want to stay fresh?

Funeral directors accross the nation are seeing dollar signs thanks to the new "Economy Urn" idea Baur has come up with.

[CrazyPhuD]

So who's going to be the first person to dig it up and put it on the shelf at their local grocery store to see what happens?

how about your mom's pussy?


seriously, is it that difficult to tip the can so the chips fall out?

In a not so related, but a little bit way:

What with all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the almost unnoticed death, recently, of a very important person. Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote the Hokey-Pokey died peacefully at home. He was 93.
LaPrise's funeral was private, attended mostly by family and close acquaintances. The most traumatic part was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in...and then the trouble started.

Yeah, and another thing, why doesn't the lid fit on the bottom of the can like it does on the top??? That seems like a logical place to store it for me, but NO the bottom has to be just a little bit smaller. :cuss:

[Stewie]

It was a huge leap from a tennis ball can to this?

[Hammock Parties]

how would you know?

[Hammock Parties]

The intertubes.

[Adept Havelock]

Huh. One of my favorite authors, Gene Wolfe, helped design the machine that makes Pringles Potato Chips.

When he dies, I wonder if he will have his remains pressed and then finely sliced?

[blaise]

I wonder if they printed his ingredients on the side.

[Rooster]

Ghost picture?? Here is a picture from the funeral. Is that the ghost of Fredric J. Baur? You be the judge. :hmmm::hmmm:

[Redrum_69]
