It’s Silly Saturday …

And this pic suggests I am imitating Dennis Taylor who wore “upside down glasses”. But if the pic isn’t silly enough how about this?

Who created Pringles®

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before – a chemist, a researcher and a science fiction author walk into a kitchen…

This isn’t the setup to some joke; it’s actually how Pringles® were created. Over the years, hundreds of people have had a hand in making Pringles® the delicious snack they are today, but credit for their creation goes to three people: Fredric Baur, Alexander Liepa, and Gene Wolfe.

Fredric Baur started working on Pringles® back in the mid-1950s, when he was looking to find an alternative to potato chips, which were often greasy, stale and broken. He spent more than two years on them, and is the person who designed their unique shape (known as a hyperbolic paraboloid) and the tubular can they were packaged in. He was so proud of his work that when he died he was actually buried in a can of Pringles®.
