Good thing he didn’t do like Pygmalion who fell in love with his own creation and asked Venus to bring it to life.

Fredric J. Baur, of Cincinnati, just wanted that some of his ashes be buried in a Pringles can, because he really liked his work.

What’s wrong with that? A little pride doesn’t hurt, it is just funny sometimes.

According to The Associated Press, his family said that the designer of the potato crisp package died May 4 at Vitas Hospice in Cincinnati. He was 89 years-old.

His children said that they accomplished their father’s request and put some of his ashes in a Pringles can. They took the can to Baur’s grave in Springfield Township.

Baur's daughter Linda said that the rest of his remains were put in an urn which was buried with the can. 

He invented the can in 1970 and was very proud of his work.

Baur was a food storage technician and an organic chemist, specialized in research and quality control for Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble Co.

He retired from this company in the 1980s.

Although he designed many products, the iconic Pringles can was his most successful creation.
