I looked at their website and it occurs to me that despite all the products they didn’t keep up with changes in the market. For instance, I couldn’t find a cat storage container or taco holders.

I know. We have stuff from our parents. Well-made, lasts forever. Their downfall I guess, but there are room for improvements and keeping up with the times.

Like an app... which might have worked but it’s hard to say. I think they’re overhead was too high they could have gotten into camping products selling stock to outlets another camping related stores. There’s a bunch of stuff they could have done.

I used to work for this lady that hosted all kinds of home parties, Tupperware parties, weddings stuff parties, even lingerie and adult toy parties. She was a party animal, and every time you turned around she was in your Cube trying to invite you or the wife to another party... catalogs, cookies... sort of harassing in a lot of ways, Amway, Shockly, you name it she sold it. I don’t know if she ever made any money but from what I’ve observed over many years is these people really don’t make any money they just get free products if that.

The weakness in current merchandise marketing is getting reliable product advice. More products are available than ever before, but we often end up disappointed because what we buy does not perform well. That makes it a delight to get exactly what you need when you look for it. As with your Bar-B-Que spatula, good products last and make an impression.

Yes Cleverware took a big chunk out of storing containers many stores were paid not to handle them it’s a good product freeze it microwave it no stains.

I think the problem is that its competitors were cheaper and consumers went for the lower price.

I think the Tupperware were better but hey

Pyrex branded cookware is now (since the 1980’s) made with soda-lime glass. It is not as heat resistant as the original boro-slicate glass, but is somewhat stronger otherwise.

(We have both the old and new versions. The old is colorless while the new has a bluish tint.)
