Morning 6-Pack - 6 hilariously useful ways to reuse a Pringles tube

Pringles is running a wild promo called “Once You Drop” — you can win a custom Pringles‑shaped metal urn and an after‑lifetime supply of chips (they say one can a week for 200 years, but actually hand you about $28K now). I love that this all traces back to Frederick Bauer asking to be buried in a Pringles can — iconic and weird, mission accomplished. We riff on the idea in today’s Morning 6‑Pack, tossing out six other legit and ridiculous ways to reuse those tubes. I tease a few — think sneaky flask, sad‑desk organizer, and even a DIY lie detector — but I’m not spoiling the top pick. Come for the odd marketing maneuver, stay for the dumb ideas and the laughs — we keep it fast, sarcastic, and slightly unhinged, like breakfast radio with chips.

Takeaways:

• I break down Pringles' 'Once You Drop' promo: urn-shaped can prize, it's delightfully bonkers marketing.
• We explain the grand prize: two centuries' supply math — one can a week for 200 years.
• I mention winners actually get about twenty-eight thousand dollars up front, because mailing chips centuries later is silly.
• We tell the origin story: Frederick Bauer asked for his ashes in a Pringles can, and his family picked Original.
• I list alternate Pringles-can uses: flask, desk organizer, vase, swear jar, and homemade lie detector, but I don't spoil the number-one pick.
