Who didn’t see this coming?  I mean honestly, what about the Pringle screams potato?  Procter and Gamble, the makers of Pringles, have claimed that Pringles “didn’t look like a chip, didn’t feel like a chip and didn’t taste like a chip”  Pringles are made from “the potato, or from potato flour, or from potato starch,” which classifies them under the potato crisp, not the chip.  Unlike chips, the Pringle is meant to melt down on your tongue, not break up into jagged pieces in your mouth.

Warren agreed. Pringles aren’t “made from the potato” for the purposes of the tax exemption, he said. He didn’t say what Pringles are, other than that they’re tax-exempt.

Once you pop, you just can’t stop.  That’s exactly what the designer thought when he requested being buried in his ingenious design of the Pringles canister.

Fredric J. Baur, of Cincinnati, died May 4 at Vitas Hospice in Cincinnati, his family said. He was 89.

Baur’s children were just honoring his burial requests when they split the remains into two urns and a Pringles can.  One urn was buried with the Pringles in his grave in suburban Springfield Township, and the other urn was given to one of his grandsons.

Fred Baur invented the totally tubular container in 1966 to better house the tasty treat invented by Alexander Liepa with the help of Gene Wolfe.
