Fredric J. Baur, of Cincinnati was the original designer of the Pringles potato snack packaging tube. He died on May 4 this year aged 89, and his family honoured his request to be buried one of the Pringle tubes he was so proud of designing.

A small quantity of his ashes were placed inside one of the tubes, and some in a regular urn and then buried in a grave in a Springfield cemetery.

Baur worked for Procter & Gamble as a food storage technician who specialized in research and development and quality control. He designed the iconic tubes in 1966 and was granted the patent for it in 1977.
