Fred Baur, the innovative mind behind the iconic Pringles can, left a lasting mark not only on snack history but also in an unconventional way.
Honoring a unique final request, the food scientist asked for a portion of his ashes to be placed inside one of his famous cylindrical cans.
After his passing in 2008 at the age of 89, his family fulfilled his wish, burying some of his remains in a Pringles can while scattering the rest at a significant location. This unusual tribute perfectly encapsulated his creative spirit and enduring legacy.
