Inventor of Pringles chip can, Fredric Baur, to be buried in one
BY BILL HUTCHINSON
Tuesday, June 3rd 2008, 8:07 AM
The Cincinnati chemist who invented the iconic Pringles potato chip can was buried in one.
Relatives revealed yesterday they honored Fredric Baur's bizarre last wish and buried part of his cremated remains in a Pringles can.
Baur was so proud of the tube-shaped container he patented in 1970 that he wanted one to accompany him to his grave, his children told the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The retired organic chemist and food storage technician died May 4 in an Ohio hospice. He was 84.
Baur also invented frying oils and a freeze-dried ice cream, but nothing came close to the crowning achievement of his Pringles can, his children said.
