Tupperware, a household brand once so popular it became the name of an entire product category, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Tuesday as consumers’ evolving shopping behaviors and increased competition led to slumping sales.

There are plenty of inexpensive alternatives to Tupperware these days that can be reused or disposed of as needed.

There are also cheap glassware brands that have resealable lids. Much safer for reheating and will never discolor overtime.

Do they still have Tupperware parties in peoples homes? Tupperware seems so 1960s.

If there isn’t a Tupperware app that you can download and order your Tupperware then no wonder they’re going bankrupt.

I remember if you put left-over spaghetti in a Tupperware container, the container would forever be dull red in color.

Many take out restaurants give you the stuff. We have about 30 some-odd Tupperware style bowls and lids from a local Asian food place. Even if you order in you get served in some kind of reusable bowl and lid. My wife has been reusing them for years so much so that the cabinets are full.

I Heart Tupperware!

You Tupperware haters will come to an evil end!

Moses and Jesus used Tupperware. What more proof do you need? Hard hearted Pharisees.

Tupperware has some great products.

But they changed the shape of their cereal bowls.

And their stuff lasts forever.

I may own Tupperware garbage cans. I’ll have to check during daylight hours.

I checked on a Tupperware warranty. It’s changed to a much more restrictive measure.

Always thought they were a bit gay. Personally, I’m Rubbermaid, an Rubbermaid only. But then again, the name “Rubbermaid” sounds even worse - so who knows...

“Personally, I’m Rubbermaid, an Rubbermaid only.”

Rubbermaid changed their formula, I think they took the rubber out because the lids are now stiff plastic and I’ve moved along.

Now I buy the same containers that wonton soup comes in. These are identified as Deli containers and you can get them online by the dozen. I also save the durable tubs that the Walmart potato salad/coleslaw/macaroni salad comes in.

I might still have a piece or two of tupper laying around. The bottoms last forever, the tops... not so much.

I also use cling film (plastic wrap) quite a bit, and actually prefer it...

When we had dogs, we rarely had leftovers. Being a trained military cook in another life long ago, I never had much left over anyway. Left over food was considered wasteful and was usually dressed up and served as MidRats for the watchstanders.
