The cremated ashes of Pringles' creator were packaged and sold to customers.While it’s true that Fredric J. Baur had his ashes buried inside a Pringles can, that can was never sold to customers.

My daughter came home from school on Friday and stated that she will never eat Pringles brand chips because the"creator" of Pringles was cremated when he died and his ashes were put into cans of Pringles and sold to unknowing customers. Is this true?!?On May 4, 2008, Fredric J. Baur, the man who designed the can used to package Pringles potato chips, passed away at the age of 89.

Baur's children said they honoured 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. The rest of his remains were placed in an urn buried along with the can, with some placed in another urn and given to a grandson, said Baur's daughter, Linda Baur of Mississippi.
