Tupperware on the way out? Say it ain’t so!

I still have a few pieces that I love. I hate to see it go. It’s the end of yet another era product that holds lots of memories.

They wont go completely. You would still be able to purchase online. Just no more Tupperware parties.

It ain’t so.

Yup. Very sad. Still have some. Their snack boxes and sippy cups were a godsend.

I was just thinking that Tupperare gave mothers the illusion that they were organized and had it all under control!

@janbb am still laboring under that Great Tupperware Misconception! I remember some Tupperware parties in the 70s, wit…er… interesting brownies for snacks, and we would play games guessing what the weird plastic things were. :-)

This is so sad! I don’t have any, but I can remember the ones in the house I grew up in.

I’ve got pieces from my mom, late 1950s.

I don’t use Tupperware. I use left over plastic containers that many foods come in.
The less that plastic is in demand the better.

You can get adequate cheap alternatives on amazon.
They have always been plastic tat, and now they are no longer competitive.
Plus I would wager the type of people who would go on “tupperware parties” to get bullied into buying it, have literally all died out by now.

Just did a quick look on Amazon. 40€ for 3 measly tupperware bowls. I don’t know what they are smoking.

I loved Tupperware. I have many tubs and lids, none of which seem to the other.
My favorite was that honey-ladel. Perfectly engineered.

Wow. That really will be sad to see. I have a few Tupperware items. I bought them at the one and only Tupperware party I’ve ever been to, it was in the year 2000. I went because a close friend’s daughter was hosting, and she was in a really bad and sad situation in her life. I still have all of the items that I bought. A cake holder/carrier, a salad spinner, a can opener, and also I was given a free egg separater.

I switched to glass storage containers over 20 years ago. I do have some very cheapy or free plastic storage containers always available to use. The free are from buying packaged items or restaurant take home food. I use them to give away food or when traveling so I can throw them away when the food is finished or use them to store food when I’m staying at a hotel.

Needless to say, I probably never would buy Tupperware for basic food storage, but other items yes. Everything I have held up well, including putting some items in the dishwasher.

Edit: the main schtick at the party I went to 24 years ago was health and safety. Keeping bugs out of your food and household items, can openers that were safer. Lot’s of information about why cardboard boxes are bad.

The Avon Lady is pissed this is happening.

They had bad management and didn’t change with the times.

Home parties were fine when women didn’t work. But when women started to be out of the house all day, the Tupperware sales channel was chopped off. The company realized that about ten years too late.

And their stuff was overpriced. Way overpriced, because they had to pay the middleman (sales person) when you could get something similar at Target or WalMart for half the cost.

They traded on the name, but that didn’t mean anything to the current generation growing up now.

Many mistakes by management. Tupperware has been dying for 15 years.

Looks like people are all Tupper’d out. Don’t forget burp!

Right after we moved here, for some crazy reason, Rick wasted good money on perfectly useless brand new Tupperware crap. We never use it.

People are going away from plastic storage containers, between the BPA, the microplastics, and the polyethylene smell. Tupperware never got on the bandwagon for glass storage containers.
