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.

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!
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.
