Pringles tube inventor to be buried in one

The man who invented the Pringles tube has died ... and had his ashes buried in one of his famous creations.

Dr Fred Baur, who created the famous packaging in 1966, was so proud of his invention that he made the request before his recent death.

His family have confirmed they carried out his wishes - but did not say what flavour tube was used.

The 89-year-old from Cincinatti had been a chemist and food storage technician for Procter and Gamble when he came up with the tube for the potato snacks.

He is also credited with developing a wide range of products including freeze-dried ice cream and cooking oil.
