Fredric John Baur was an American organic chemist and food storage scientist notable for designing the Pringles packaging. Baur died on May, 4, 2008 at the age of 89 after a battle with Alzheimer's disease. Some of Baur's ashes were buried in a Pringles can at his request. Baur's children said they honored his request to bury him in one of the cans by placing part of his cremated remains in an Original flavor Pringles container in his grave in suburban Springfield Township. The rest of his remains were placed in an urn buried along with the can, with some placed in another urn and given to one of Baur's grandchildren.
