pringlesSe trata del Dr. Fredric J. Baur, que murió a los 89 años. Sus hijos cumplieron su deseo y enterraron sus cenizas dentro del característico tubo de cartón en un cementerio de Springfield, Estados Unidos.

Gran parte del poder de atracción que las papas Pringles ejerce sobre la mayoría de los mortales radica en su característico envase. Quizás por eso, el creador del tubular recipiente, decidió pasar a mejor vida dentro de él.
Así lo contaron sus hijos, que fueron los encargados de cumplir con el último deseo de Fredric J. Baur, químico orgánico y técnico de la industria alimentaria. Parte de las cenizas del hombre nacido en Cincinnati fueron enterradas dentro de uno de los coloridos cilindros de cartón –nadie precisó de qué sabor-, en una parcela del cementerio de Springfield. Dentro de Procter & Gamble Co, Baur se especializó en investigación y desarrollo de control de calidad. En 1966 tramitó la patente del envase de papas fritas, que le fue otorgada en 1970.

"Dr. Fredric J. Baur was so proud of having designed the container for Pringles... that he asked his family to bury him in one. His children honored his request. Part of his remains was buried in a Pringles can — along with a regular urn containing the rest... Dr. Baur, a retired organic chemist and food storage technician who specialized in research and development and quality control for Procter & Gamble, died May 4 at 89... He developed many products, including frying oils and a freeze-dried ice cream, for P&G... But the Pringles can was his proudest accomplishment, his daughter said. He received a patent for the package as well as the method of packaging Pringles in 1970."

    I'm back in this post because yesterday the UK justice declared that Pringles are not "french fries" because they only have 42% of potato in their composition (I'd say formula)... So, considering that, Pringles is not going to pay VAT... That's what they said!

    My question is... ¿Only products with more than 50% potato pay taxes in UK?...
