The inventor of the Pringles had his ashes buried inside one of the tall tubes.

Fredric J. Baur of Cincinnati, OH was so proud of his invention that he requested for his remains to be encased inside of it after he died! During his life, he served as an organic chemist and food technician at Procter & Gamble. In 1966, Baur filed for a patent for the tall, skinny can and the novel method of stacking the curved chips inside.




The patent was granted four years later, and he was able to retire in the early ‘80s knowing that he had invented something really cool. Baur passed away in May 2008 at the age of 89, and his children fulfilled his request - his ashes were split between a pair of urns and a Pringles can in his grave!
