Tupperware: SAD LAST DAYS

I shifted to glass food storage containers about 25 years ago.

I should call Dixie Longate and ask her to present a party for us!

R1 How often do you break something?

I’ve been trying to track down a large beige Tupperware dish drainer forever.

Tupperware is fabulous. Still good as new after decades. It will be sad if the company goes down.

R1, same here. I love my Pyrex.

They could still do internet or place in Target and Walmart?

I always wonder how that Scentsy shit is doing. I swear every frau I knew was having parties and trying to recruit for that.

Every few months I look on eBay for Tupperware but it always seems to be lids only.

I want a few of those old Servalier storage bowls.

Same with Pyrex and/or Fiesta. I try to ignore urges to look because I know if I get one I'll end up having a hundred of them.

So handy for those upcoming monsoon months.

There was a time that my hole was as airtight as my Tupperware.

R3 -- only two nested, one-cup size Pyrex bowls when the fell out of my kitchen cabinet, rolled off the countertop, and broke on my tiled kitchen floor.

Tupperware is pricey and hard to find. Home parties are just creepy.

The Dollar Tree has not as good but passable contaimers.

Tupperware is doomed.

I'm still using my mother's Tupperware -some is pushing 50 years old! That said, I looked into the warning signs that it is no longer safe -and pretty much all of it is failing the test. I'd buy new -but not only are parties impossible to find, when you do find them the stuff they are making isn't like the old stuff. And they don't even make my number-one missed item (sugar bowl). This is definitely a case of a company not keeping up with customers' needs and wishes.

Thank god for Pyrex!

My feelings:

Tupperware is too expensive for what it is. The page at the link should give you an idea of what I mean.

The idea of Tupperware parties is so sad to me

I want no mosey judgemental neighborhood cunts in my home.

Wow it’s expensive!

Singin' for her Tupperware...

Jesus! Very expensive!!!

Pre 2010 Tupperware is not BPA safe. It’s better to ditch it than keep it.

Days, not weeks

I don't want that plastic trash in my house. We use glass. Tupperware made the news not too many years ago when a drag queen was throwing fun tupperware parties and selling the shit out of it. He was the number one in California or some such accolade. But still I don't want it.

It's too expensive. There lies the main problem.

Does Tupperware have that much overhead? Why are their prices so high? They need a deal with Target for a kiosk in store. Expose Gen Z to your product.

When we had to empty out mom's house several years ago I got all the Tupperware. No one else wanted it, but I always loved it. She had bought it for decades, and had all kinds of odd pieces, sets, measuring cups, and other items. I'm using some of it, the rest in storage. Hopefully some of the grandkids might want it someday, otherwise I'll sell it if I can.

[quote]otherwise I'll sell it if I can.

Sell it to who? Nobody wants old used Tupperware R26.

Hams keep hammier….

I went to a Tupperware party hostessed by Brini Maxwell about 20 years ago, r23.

I remember Brini too. Another one was this gal:

Yes, Dixie Longate, as mentioned back at R2

We’ve had some pieces for years. The stuff lasts, even through the dishwasher. They should be selling on a place like Amazon.

No!!!!!! They are the best. The only plastic containers that last. I still have my mom's. All the other crap lasts for less than a year.

The Tupperware frauen knew how to party back in the day.

I love my Tupperware…it’s built to last.

I eat my beans out of a Tuppercan, thank you very much.

R32 Yes! I see now. I think I was scrolling too fast and missed your mention of the fabulous Miss Dixie Longate. As much as I am "NO!" to more plastic, I know damn well that if I went to Dixie's show I'd buy as much as I could. I'd get swept up in her energy and wouldn't regret it. I would have a good food storage and a good story.

My late cousin adored and obsessed constantly about Tupperware, and was even buried in it.

I buy strictly Rubbermaid.

Oh, dear.

Where's Phranc when you need her?

"My late cousin adored and obsessed constantly about Tupperware, and was even buried in it."

Was she a 95-year-old nun by any chance??

I had this Phranc album.

It is in Target, and on Amazon (see the Maisel Collection), so that’s not the answer. It’s a happy memory for me, my mom has a lot of it, as do her sisters. Many Cake Takers and Wonderlier bowls made the rounds at family parties. It seems to be very collectible, and probably will be more so if the company goes under. But I’ve also heard, as others here have mentioned, that the older version of the plastics are unsafe to use.

We had a Tupperware pitcher that held oceans of orange juice from the 70s until about 2016.

Your Tupperware lady...

Tupperware needs to modernize its image.

(BTW, I'm available for brand deals!)

R41- Why the OH DEAR?

Apparently, a lot of us little homosexual boys use Mother's old Tupperware. I still have a few pieces like the little dessert bowls that are the perfect size.

Who on earth wants to use plastic anymore? It's terrible for the environment and made from OIL!!

Do you bitches really want to store food in an oil based product?? I know boomers don't care, but Xers and younger should.

R50 - I agree

You just want a nice refrigerator set that's also oven safe.

Not this boomer, hog nostrils.

There’s a lot to unpack here.

If you often microwave your leftovers, glass food storage containers are the best choice.

Believe it or not Rubbermaid makes terrific storage containers. That's all I buy.

Do you microwave in them, r57?

God, I love Tupperware..

R58 No.

What's Simply Sara going to do if they go under?!

Does anyone know if Danny Pintauro is still selling Tupperware?

R57- You're a smart cookie 🍪

I ONLY microwave in my Corelle bowls and plates.

Never in plastic or glass.

I've never liked Tupperware. It always started to smell bad after awhile.

And Rubbermaid has become garbage. The last two sets I bought, the lids started to crack within a year. Never again.

My mom had a set of the old Corningware, white with the blue cornflower. I could kick her for tossing it back in the 80s. Los of different sizes and shapes of casserole dishes with the glass tops and the old stove top percolator. That thing made the best coffee. Saw some on ebay and it's expensive as shit.

Mary. Just for throwing away some Corningware?

Rubbermaid's crummy plastic food storage containers is what convinced me to buy only glass containers.

My moocher uncle sold Tupperware or some other knock off plasticware. He eventually quit that gig to sell Bust Must.

Here ya go, r66...

R68 Same here.
