It's no surprise really, any product designed so the container repels it lid to the darkest furthest corner when put in a cupboard is doomed....

My mum still has tupperware from the 80s that's used regularly. Good quality stuff, but I'm guessing cheaper storage solutions have become more attractive. Or maybe people just don't bother buying such things anymore?

Yesterday's lunch was leftovers, kept in the fridge in a 40-year-old Tupperware container.

Tasted a bit funny, though ...

I have a drawer full of plastic storage containers. Few if any are made by Tupperware.

You're not supposed to eat the container....

We certainly do use such things, frequently. But I don't think any of the ones we have nowadays are actually Tupperware brand, and haven't been for years.

That's like a cheaper version of

'Video Killed The Radio Star'.

The answer is in the article, people don't cook at home so much so have less 'leftovers' to store. Couple that with less people packing sarnies for work and buying pre made or takeaways

It was the vibrating mixing wands that did for them....

Good points - also many people re-use other food containers for storage...cos we're cheapskates!

But couldn't you use a Tupperware dish for throwing your car keys in?
