  Anyway, Time reported in 2008 that when Pringles can inventor Frederic Baur died at 89 after a battle with Alzheimer's, his son Larry and siblings swung by Walgreen's on their way to the funeral home.
  They needed to pick up a Pringles burial can, of course.
  "'My siblings and I briefly debated what flavor to use," Baur told the magazine, "but I said, 'Look, we need to use the original.'"
  Baur invented the can, which keep chips stacked neatly, for Procter & Gamble in 1966. He first raised the idea of being buried in one in the 1980s, Larry Baur told Time — and while the family joked about it, they honored Frederic Baur's wishes.
  Unless he wanted sour cream and union, in which case original is always a letdown. You know what I mean?
