Фредрик Дж. Баур из Цинциннати, штат Огайо, так гордился своим изобретением, что просил после своей смерти поместить прах в упаковку из-под чипсов. Всю жизнь он работал химиком-органиком и пищевым техником в компании Procter & Gamble. В 1966 году Баур подал заявку на патент на высокие тубы-упаковки и новый метод укладки в них изогнутых чипсов.
Патент был выдан через четыре года, и Баур смог уйти в отставку в начале 80-х, уверенный, что он придумал что-то действительно классное. Изобретатель был так восхищён собственным творением, что захотел быть похороненным в нём. Баур скончался в мае 2008 года в возрасте 89 лет, и его дети исполнили эту просьбу — его прах был разделен между парой урн и упаковкой из-под Pringles, которая хранится в гробу в пригороде Спрингфилда.

Fredric J. Baur, of Cincinnati, Ohio, was so proud of his invention that he had asked after his death to put ashes in a container of potato chips. All his life he worked as a organic chemist and food technician in the company Procter & Gamble. In 1966, Baur filed for a patent on the high-tube packaging and a new method of laying them curved chips.
The patent was issued in four years, and Bauer was able to retire in the early '80s, convinced that he invented something really cool. The inventor was so delighted with his own creation, that wanted to be buried in it. Bauer died in May 2008 at age 89, and his children sang the request - his ashes were divided between a pair of boxes and packing out of Pringles, which is stored in a coffin in a suburb of Springfield.
