Tupperware in trouble

[figbat]

We have loads of plastic storage containers, but they are either takeaway tubs or bought in IKEA. In both cases the plastic container is not the primary offer from the vendor; they make money on other stuff too.

Loads of plastic containers in use here - mostly not for food.

neither... this!

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

Stay classy.

I have loads of containers for freezing fruit etc. I doubt that any are Tupperware though.

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

A vibrating wand would probably do for me too, but... Oh, you don't mean like that?

 

[Oldhippy]

Genuinely thought they had gone bust years ago.

I remember the Tupperware parties of the 60’s, we inherited loads of the stuff but the lids they seem to just disappear.

There's just been an item on the French news about it. The French pronunciation of 'tupperware' made me chuckle, think of a rap artist....

Too Paa Wah.

We have a dedicated drawer in the kitchen for plastic food containers for freezing bulk cooked meals. All came from Lakeland.

I suppose one day it had to close...

I remember the car key parties of the 80s. I don't know who got my moped but I had a great evening thrashing their Porsche.

I can't 'unhear' that now, a bit like a French guy I used to know who always called photography

'Photgraphie'

With an emphasis on the first two and last sylable, 'Photo - graph - ee'.

Or in points at Eurovision, when they say Iceland, Ireland and Sweden in French

'Eess - laund', 'Ear - laund', 'Swed'.

I never did French at school.

We use loads of plastic containers for freezing and storing surplus allotment produce, leftovers, soups and meals cooked specially for freezing - make a six serving moussaka, eat two and freeze four for example.

Not a single one is Tupperware. I either by quality reusable food containers from the £1 shop or recycled ice cream containers, both last for years.
