How would you like to spend ALL ETERNITY with the slogan, “Once you pop, you can’t stop!” bouncing around in your head?  Well, if you’re a diehard Pringles fan, that may be possible.

Pringles just announced a spooky contest called “Once you DROP” . . . and it offers you the chance to win an URN shaped like a Pringles can.

To enter, hit up OnceYouDrop.com, and sign their “will and taste-ament” . . . where you “commit” to wanting to be buried in a Pringles can of some sort.  The deadline is October 22nd.

One grand prize winner will receive an “AFTER-lifetime supply of Pringles” . . . which is TWO lifetime supplies.  That’s ONE can of Pringles, every week of the year, for the next 200 YEARS.

They did the math, and say that’s worth $28,080.  They award this amount up-front, in CASH.  So you buy your own weekly Pringles.

The grand prize also includes the “bespoke Pringles can urn,” which metal . . . with personalized engraving . . . and worth $500.

If you didn’t know, there IS a reason for this “buried in a Pringles can” thing . . .

Fredric Baur is the inventor of the Pringles can, and before he died in 2008, his final request was to be cremated and buried INSIDE one of them.  His kids fulfilled his request.  His son said, “My siblings and I briefly debated what flavor to use, but I said, ‘Look, we need to use the original.’”
