Pringles Can Designer Buried in Pringles Can
(Cincinnati) Chemist/inventor Fredric J. Baur passed away last month at the age of 89. As a food storage/quality control expert for the Proctor and Gamble corporation, Baur designed the tubular packaging for Pringles, the bizarre, potato-like snack food product. Baur filed to patent the design in 1966. Apparently, Baur was pretty proud of his creation, because he requested that his family bury a portion of his ashes in a Pringles can. I guess that once you pop, you really can’t stop.
Fred Baur at ‘06 World Cup Finals
Baur’s family honored the request and he was interred in the iconic cardboard can with the plastic lid. It is not known what flavor of Pringles was contained in the makeshift urn. Hopefully, it wasn’t “Devil Hot”. That would just be poor taste!

I wont eat Pringles ever again.
I have a sneaky suspicion that this guy went and had someone sprinkle his ashes in the batter they make Pringles with and that this was all a diversion to take our minds off the possibility that he is so fucking narcissistic he thinks we all should have a part of him in us.
How the hell did he get a patent for the same container my pixie sticks came in ?

Which direction should it be facing ?
Whats ironic is that most of these containers ended up in landfills.

If the devil resides at the center of the earth, then hes really looking up no matter which way hes facing , right ?

@ Micky: Try new “Crematory Dill” Pringles
@ Cap: I’ll probably be buried in a pringles can. It’d be fun to watch 7 guys try to carry me in one.
@ ‘Goose: Fuckin’ A!

no mick, more like on a 90 degree angle. trust me.
Ok, it only took me 3 1/2 minutes to contemplate that one. stop confusing me. So if the devil faces up then which way am I facing? Down right? unless I’m rolling around in one of the containers.

Well, I can tell you this about death: it’s not that bad. But Jesus, you guys better hope I get resurrected, because all this talk about noodles and unholy amounts of mayonnaise is well, not very interesting. Oh, and micky, the coolest thing about death is that I can actually see what people are really thinking about when they masturbate. Cap, you are one sick bitch.

I’ve been dead a little less than a minute.
No lights, no overwhelming calm. Nothing.
Maybe I need to be dead longer. I can wait.
but I’ll tell you this much. When they brought me back I just about pissed and shit myself because I looked at the clock in front of me and all of a sudden ot was 2 minutes later. I freaked out.
Then the nurse explained that I was gone for a little while.

Listen there’s a lot of things I’d rather be buried in and a food container is not one of them. I was just going with the flow. I didn’t write the post I’m just responding to it.
As a matter of fact I’d rather not be buried at all. Just prop me up in a chair, stick me in a window and have some one fondle my breasts until the sun bakes me to a crisp.

because they gotta pay for something that’s free?
capricorn1966
22 Jun 08 at 3:27 pm
Because our educational system’s priorities are completely ass-backwards and because the additives in much of our food help to suppress cognition. The fact that Americans can’t locate their own country (let alone their own state) on a map is really embarrassing.

The Spirit of Pringles Man just came to me and told me that Pringles are not even made of potatoes. They are actually some kind of shitty fried dough. Someone in England sued. He wanted to prove there are no tators involved in making Pringles. And, he won. That’s what PM told me.
No…wait…..it was not S of PM, it was Fox news. I get them confused.

7 Jul 08 at 10:56 pm
nah, the truth is pringles are made from the potatoes that are cast aside for being too rotten or having mechanical damage or something. the rotten spuds are spun into a puree or something and then dyed and fried up. they’re made of potatoes, just not the ones that the other chip (or crisp for our foreign friends) won’t accept.

Bagel just isn’t interested in writing/webhosting right now. I put my other writing gigs on hold to concentrate on RationReality. I will soon start back writing for other outlets and I’ll try to let everyone know when and where you can read them–if you’re interested in the Soy side of RR.
