The world's largest potato chip is a pringle, preserved in the Idaho State Potato Exposition in Blackfoot, Idaho. Admission is $1 and you get a baked potato with all the fixins after the tour.

I like that! Something new and different.
The Afterlife?
Crispy and Stackable!
A local blogger had some funny comments on this:
http://sharpshooters.blogspot.com/2008/06/pringles-can-designer-buried-in.html
...and he's thankful he didn't invent the condom.
I heard that the guy who invented the vibrator was cremated and his ashes were......ah...never mind.
Good thing he didn't invent the sapository.
Or the plunger.
Did he invent Pringles too, or just the can?
Those cans are darn useful, though.
To confornm with US product standards, it should contain the disclaimer "The soul is sold by weight, not volume".
Those cans are darn useful, though.
Well, at least Pringles have one redeeming quality (why anyone would do that to the revered potatoe chip has always been beyond me).

What are they going to do when the guy who invented hot pockets dies?
LOL! I mean, RIP. I love it. If only every inventor had this sense of humour.
- Henry Ford buried inside the trunk/boot of a Model-T
- Thomas Alva Edison's cremated remains housed within a victrola.
- The creator of Barbie, when she goes, is buried with a Malibu Barbie house set, complete with Ken and all her outrageously leggy friends.
Come on. It was your baby. Honour it!
Cheers,
Victoria (Never had a Pringle)
There's a Soylent Green joke in there somewhere, but I can't quite put my finger on it...
From the obituary: "

This is just like the Ted Kennedy thing.
It’s in the news only because Fredric Baur’s a celebrity.
I know a guy who’s got a trophy case full of Pringles® cans full of dead people.
Is he in the news?
He is not.
and when George Foreman goes will he not be cremated so much as grilled, really, really well?
I'm thinking that this person's death could top Mr. Baur's. (Not that I'm seeking to hasten it along or anything.)
They had an awful time trying to bury Charles Winslow, the man who wrote the song 'Hokey Pokey'
The trouble started when the morticians tried to place his remains in the casket. First they put his left foot in...then the trouble began.
Mr. Oreck will be spinning in his grave.
The rumor is that they didn't bury Mr. Whipple, they just flushed him.
The commentariat is on a roll today!! this is almost as good as Sat nite live.
They stoled the idea from the guy who invented the can to hold tennis balls
He took the potato chip, rugged and wild,
And reduced it to one shape that nestles inside
A can that is shaped like a tennis ball canister,
Like hookers set to slide down a whorehouse bannister.
What ethnicity was Mr. Baur? Nacho Cheese? Sour Cream and Onion? Just plain, or low salt?
roger j: The Althouse CommentCzars are way funnier than those SNL hacks!
Or at least our bad jokes are much quicker!

What do they do with the guy who invented the slinky?
Pity the poor soul who developed Depends 'undergarments'.

The voodoo witchcraft of Ozzy will reanimate the corpse of Peter Frampton in the low-budget horror indy, Frampton comes Alive!
Zombie Frampton will sing very slowly with that wierdo mic effect...
I....waaaannnnttt....yooooouuuuu...toooo...shooow ...meeeeee....theeee....waaaayyyy.
Thomas Crapper, the Brit who invented the flush toilet, died January 17, 1910.
[Insert your own punch line here.]
He spoke of having a fever, and appeared to be flushed.
When Sarah Jessica Parker kicks the bucket, it's straight to the glue factory.
A picture of the urn that will hold Ann's ashes, will be taken with a fisheye lens, prompting commenters to exclaim: "Wow! She looks like she was really big!"
Sarah Jessica Parker walks into a bar and the bartender says 'hey buddy, why the long face?'
Reprise from another post I did today:
A horse walks into a bar. The bartender says "Hey why the long face." The horse said,"Someone told me I look like Sarah Jessica Parker."
RIP(pled)
Troop,
Heh. The variants are endless, aren't they?

From a career standpoint, not an aesthetic one.
And look, she's dominated Althouse today!
This is what is called, in computer science, recursion...
Posted on this last night. Not a single comment yet. Guess I need blond hair. :-)
Now that's taking your work home with you to an extreme.
