WHEN it comes to snack food, the packaging that Pringles potato chips come in are held as iconic by many due to their tall cylindrical shape. And when talking about the Pringles container, it has been said over the years that the man who created the packaging was so proud of his accomplishment that he chose to have a portion of his ashes buried in the packaging he created. According to Baur's son Lawrence, his father worked for Procter & Gamble Co. in Cincinnati, specialising in research, development, and quality control and took great pride in creating the Pringles container. The rest of Baur's ashes were placed in an urn and buried alongside the can, while some was placed in another urn and given to one of his grandsons. As such, his legacy lives on in both the snack food aisle and the story of his final resting place.

Arsenal laid down a marker ahead of the 2024/25 season with a demolition job of Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen. Mikel Arteta’s side cruised to a 4-1 victory at the Emirates Stadium without truly getting out of first gear in a sensational performance. Arsenal took the lead in the eighth minute through left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko, who fired a sweet strike into the far corner from outside of the penalty area to leave Matej Kovar with no chance. One soon became two just moments later through Leandro Trossard, rounding off a well-worked passing move by faking his strike to send a Leverkusen defender and Kovar the wrong way before passing into the back of the net. Express Sport takes a look at five talking points from the clash…
