Celebrity Death

No, we aren't talking about Bo Diddley.
  • The man who designed the Pringles potato crisp packaging system was so proud of his accomplishment that a portion of his ashes has been buried in one of the iconic cans.

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

    Baur's children said they honored his request to bury him in one of the cans by placing part of his cremated remains in a Pringles container in his grave in suburban Springfield Township.
We're sure there's a punchline or three in here somewhere.

That's going to be the next big thing. All the honor students want to be cremated and their ashes placed in flaming hots bags and be littered on their favorite corner.

First it was John Lee Hooker, then Bo Diddley passed. We've lost two of the greatest musicians ever.

The pringles people originally planned to sell tennis balls but on the first day a truck load of potatoes showed up. Being the go-getters that they are they just said "Fuck it, lets go for it!". And the rest is history.
