(From guest Blogger, Jenn Tran):
Dr. Fredric J. Baur, the genius that created the patent for the container for Pringles, passed away recently.
As part of his last wishes, he wanted his remains to be buried in a Pringles can.
He developed many products for Proctor & Gamble, including frying oils and a freeze-dried ice cream. He was said to have been proudest about the patent for the Pringles design.
I just hope that I can come up with something as cool before I die (it does not have to have the multi-usage, however.)
(Tim's note, Jenn's not joking about this, here's the AP article.)
