The Fast Food Cull: Pringles Man Burnt To Crisp And Canned
AL Copeland of Popeye’s Famous Fried Chicken, Fatburger’s Lovie Yancey and Carl Karcher, founder of Carl’s Jr., have all died in 2008, so too Herb Peterson, inventor of the Egg McMuffin.
News reaches the Anorak that Dr. Fredric J. Baur, inventor of the Pringles crisps can has been buried in - well, you guessed it - a Pringles can.
The can has been placed inside a traditional urn, and the man who was cremated (surely burnt to a crisp? - Ed) is now on the shelves at the resting in the Arlington Memorial Gardens in Springfield Township, Ohio.
Odd indeed. But it;s the enws of the an’s ell-by date that makes us odner. Baur died on May 4 2008.
It’s the cull of America’s fast food founders…
