Fredric Baur invented the Pringles can. When he passed away in 2008, his ashes were buried in one.

Did he also invent their chips? The can has meaning only because something was manufactured that would fit exactly right into the can.

While we are 60% water, Mr. Baur must’ve been a small man to fit in that container.

An interesting story about Pringles. I heard a speaker at a convention tell about several expeditions to Everest. After a failed first attempt, the team decided to take potato chips as a reward for reaching set goals each day. Unfortunately as they moved higher on the mountain, the pressure changed crushed the chip bags and gave them crumbs.
When planning a third attempt, the team decided to take Pringles because the can would hold up as the pressure changed. And, the team was successful on their third attempt at making the summit.
This a very brief recap of an amazing 45 minute presentation. Other facts stick in my memory, but the Pringles one really stands out.

This makes no goddamn sense! As you go up, the pressure goes down. As the pressure goes down, the residual air in the bag expands, fluffing not crushing the chips. SLBSTM!

Many memorable stories are because of a little BS added in. Without it....merely MEDIOCRE, and forgettable!
