Pringles Man Buried in Pringles Casket

COLLEGE HILL - Dr. Fredric J. Baur was so proud of having designed the container for Pringles potato crisps that he asked his family to bury him in one.

His children honored his request. Part of his remains was buried in a Pringles can - along with a regular urn containing the rest - in his grave at Arlington Memorial Gardens in Springfield Township.

Dr. Baur, a retired organic chemist and food storage technician who specialized in research and development and quality control for Procter & Gamble, died May 4 at Vitas Hospice. The College Hill resident was 89.

We just came back from the market this morning where we bought Pringles for the first time in forever.

I miss the ruffled Pringles -- they were like eating three Pringles at once. Why did they go? Who does not like ruffled chips? Man, I am telling you the grooves hold all the flavor! When will we learn?

There was an awkward moment at the memorial service when a mortuary worker momentarily got his hand stuck in the Pringles can while putting the ashes in.
