Potato Chip Can Inventor’s Ashes Stored in His Own Creation

Frederick Baur invented the potato chip can in 1966, a design that allowed chips to be neatly stacked. Proud of his creation, he requested before his death that his ashes be placed in one of his own cans.

After he passed away, his family fulfilled his wish by purchasing an original-flavor potato chip can to serve as his urn. This unique final resting place reflects Baur’s deep pride in his invention, which revolutionized how potato chips are stored and sold worldwide.

 

The story blends innovation with personal legacy, turning a everyday packaging item into a heartfelt tribute to the inventor who brought it to life. It’s a quirky yet touching reminder of how one’s work can become intertwined with their life story.
