Tupperware never dies...

I would think the entire word heard about Tupperware products.
If you haven't... Tupperware is the name of air-tight kitchen storage products created by Earl Tupper in 1948. They are made from a form of pliable plastic and sold through direct marketing, typically obtained from Tupperware Parties. My aunt was a Tupperware dealer and my mother was her best customer!

We had Tupperware bowls in all shapes and sizes. The worst one was a tall pitcher that usually saw fruit juice.

After a while, with long term use the edges of Tupperware become dingy, frayed and fuzzy looking. I remember my aunt mixed some bleach in a pitcher they always used for lemonade. Cousin Joan came in from a hot summer day thinking it was a fresh batch of drink, chugged a cupful and was bent over puking it up!

Every weekend we travel to Miami to check the house (we moved from) bringing mail and things back to our new location. There are a few items of Tupperware that I haven't claimed. I'm figuring after 50 years they should be considered indigenous and be part of the house when I rent or decide to sell it.

The one thing I will say for it, it's fairly rugged. However, no telling how much plasticizers we consumed using it. Still, not as bad as that 'lemonade' your cousin drank.
50 years ago chaillion I was one of those ladies giving parties in people's homes to sell Tupperware. Still got some of my freebies even after thousands of moves. grin
I think I have a piece or two of tupperware somewhere in this house probably sealing something illegal. Rubbermaid pushed tupper out.
Jim, with so many chemicals in our lives we tend to forget how dangerous plastic products really are.
Sticking a Styrofoam container with leftovers in the microwave and having it come out distorted. I'm sure some of those vapors end up in the food!
Red, did you only sell Tupperware or (like my Aunt) have Avon products too?
Fay, you haven't lived until you own a set of soda bottle Keep-Kaps

I bought some Tupperware once but found something a little cheaper.
See Tupperware stays the course laugh and foot didn't. Nope I did not do Avon as well, I cant make my own face up grin never demonstrate how it's done
The only Tupperware I had was a pie carrier.. someone kept the pie and carrier. I don't have it. I remember my mom using bleach to get coffee stains out of Melmac cups. Bleach works good to get coffee stains out of stainless steel coffee pots. It don't take much and you don't have to soak them, it works instantly. I noticed my daughter had a orange tupperware looking bowl, I asked her if she got it at a yard sale and she did. But orange is her favorite color, so it was coming home with her.
I have a set of Pyrex bowls that I got as a wedding present. Every time I've left they come with me and they look as good as ever.
