Pringles Can Inventor Interred in Pringles Can

RIP, and… that rocks. 

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.
