My last remaining Tupperware container stores our brown sugar. I don’t even remember where I got it. Ill probably carry that thing around til I die. 😉

I haven’t heard of Tupperware in years. Tupperware products could only be purchased at parties held in people’s homes. If that is still their marketing strategy, then no wonder they are going bankrupt. We now go online or to stores like Costco or Wal-Mart to get such products.

I wonder if Tupperware was more readily available, say in brick and mortar store like Walmart would that have helped.

I know its available through Amazon but jumping through hoops to get my hands on a product is a turnoff to me.....no matter how good the quality.

Tupperware is so yesterday. Plenty of newer cheaper versions...and baggies.

I'm old and live alone...I leave my leftovers in the pan...put in the fridge....and reheat later. Saves a lot of hassle.

They made quality products. My wife sold Tupperware in the 80s, and we still have a bunch of items she bought back then - containers, plates, cups. The stuff never wears out!

Dozens of “Tupper Ware” copy cat companies now.

At least the mason jars will come in handy glad I saved them.

The Tupperware HQs is about fifteen miles down the road from where I live south of Orlando. The key to Tupperware's success was not just the quality and innovation of its product line, but its sales model, which made the spare time of housewives into occasions for a Tupperware party.

The success of this method was due to businesswoman and housewife Brownie Wise. Hired in 1951 as Tupperware's vice president of marketing, she energized their multi-level home party sales system. A well-dressed, skilled woman dealer would demonstrate for the party hostess and her friends the merits of Tupperware. Sales were made and products were delivered by personal follow up. In the days before Amazon, it was quite a system.

Tupperware dealers had the support of the company and their regional network, spurring them to develop their skills and enlarge their party bookings. The Tupperware company built a large convention hall and meeting center at its HQs for training and motivation sessions for its dealers. Although Wise was fired in 1958 in order to facilitate sale of the company, the system she built carried on for decades.

Those days and the Tupperware sales model are mostly gone, done in by competing products, massive retailers like Walmart, the Internet, and the many calls on the time of women as they entered the workforce en masse. As traditional housewives diminished in numbers, Tupperware parties declined as well, which mostly killed their sales model.

What a shame. I have tons of Tupperware and use it all the time. Keeps my brown sugar moist, my white sugar dry. Had the same YUGE green bowl and lid which has carried many an item to family gatherings.

I have the egg tray for deviled eggs and take out the little trays and you have excellent carrier for any number of food items. I have multiple Tupperware glasses, from the little multi colored ones, perfect for children to the tall blue ones for adult beverages, which also fit a can cozy for keeping them cold. Ok, I digress. :)

The products DO last forever, in fact I sent back a cracked item just last spring and got a replacement pitcher back, which is awesome.

Hate to see a good product and company go the way of bankruptcy.
