If you created a revolutionary container for an up-and-coming potato chip, would you want to be buried in it?
Fredric J. Baur of Cincinnati had a final request. He wanted to be partially buried in the can he is famous for creating — the patented Pringles container. So he was.
The can was buried next to an urn with the rest of his ashes.
I have the utmost respect for final wishes. But that doesn’t mean I can’t criticize them, right?
After all, some people want their families to spend thousands upon thousands of dollars to have them blasted into space, while others would like a simple Pringles can. Only $2.99 at your local Superfresh.
This situation only begs for the question - did they take the crumbs out first?
