His dying, Urn-est plea

The man who invented the Pringles can, Fredric J. Baur, has passed on.

Before he went, however, he maintained such a pride in his creation of the container for the "Salty, stackable, saddle-shaped snack" that he requested to have part of his remains buried in one.

I think that's pretty cool. His family complied. What I want to know is, did they buy the tube at a Kroger's or something and have it open at the wake, requesting people to eat from it if they really loved Dr. Baur? Is it weird that they had to eat the contents of the urn before putting the dead guy in it? Part of him, at least. It would be pretty cool if they'd had the head burned separately and put that in the can, I guess. Are his remains living up to the "salty, stackable, saddle-shaped snacks" that were in there before it?

it sorta reminds me of The Big Lebowski. The end of it, at least.

It is our most modestly priced receptacle.
