While your checking, could you see if my forks are in there?
That is funny and explains a whole lot. Thank you!

“I want answers about that and why I have more Tupperware lids than bowls.”
Know why I do…On rare occasions I will rest a Tupperware on the stove (the burner) and turn on the wrong burner. End of Tupperware bowl. Hence, an extra lid.
I was not going to share this with anybody, but I weakened.
Why didn’t they RFID them? Then they could have known for sure.
I solved the mystery of the missing socks quite inadvertently one day when I accidentally kicked the dryer cord out of the wall. It kept running. Yep. Dryers don’t really run on electricity. They run on socks.
i've done that... i've also placed a hot plate or pan on top of the Tupperware bowl just to set it down for a second... even though i realize what i've done immediately, it's too late... the rim is melted...
i happen to have the same number of containers and lids, but they don't match each other! i have GLAD lids and DIXIE containers... or DIXIE lids and GLAD containers... at least those are cheaper than Tupperware...
The other day I looked in the floor of the pantry and there stood stacked neatly in the bottom were my latest purchases. The cupboard? Still has the same mismatched lids and container assortment. She does it to piss me off I think.....
Hey! Them Tupperware lids and containers mate for life like a Penguin. When you damage one of ‘em, you gotta euthanize the other one and give them a decent “Glad-bag” burial ceremony.....
There is a 4th dimensional warp between your house and mine, as I have more bowls than lids.
Beat me by a minute...;-)
Usually in our house with the help of our toddler into whatever he has figured out how to open/climb on/crawl under.
Your are correct.
I have never owned any Tupperware products either. I was using it as a “generic” name as one says that one is going to “zerox” something.
It did cross my mind as I used the word “Tupperware.”
You have sharp eyes as most Freepers do.
i just happened to mention the DIXIE and GLAD products because i don’t feel so bad about ruining those since they are not as expensive as Tupperware...
I seem to have this problem with pens at work.
The prestigious British Medical Journal mentioned the study two years ago, and the final data is now used in Africa and in schools in the U.S., as a teaching tool on how to conduct a research project.

Amusing study, and amusing comments.
The lids and bowls situation is more baffling to me than the socks situation is, and that is so common as to be subject of myriad sci-fi stories.
