Spinoff of the (extremely fun) vintage Tupperware thread - What one Tupperware item (vintage or current) do you use the most in your house today?

Mine are the "midgets" containers:

DH and I use them for salad dressing for work lunches, I mix salt water in them for DS to swish with for orthodontic stuff, make the guinea pig's "orange juice" (vitamin C tablet that he will only take crushed and mixed with water), store small craft items, etc., etc., and so on....

They tend to go missing, being so small, so I'm always buying more when there are Tupperware booths at craft fairs and things. I have the blue, red, and yellow lids now.
 
Sorry, I don't think we have any Tupperware brand products in the house anymore. I used to have some of my Mom's hand-me-downs, but they were probably disposed of years ago. I think our plastic containers are either Rubbermaid, or those Glad reusable ones, or the ones you get when you buy a pre-packaged 3 pound container of potato salad.
 
I have several mixing bowls that are over 30 years old I keep flour and sugar in and a mega bowl for watermelon.
 
True Tupperware, my vintage measuring spoons.

My current leftover containers are Lock & Lock. I miss the old design though. Not liking the newer version.
 

I have some shallow bowls with lids, but rarely use them because I find Tupperware lids extremely difficult to put on and take off.
 
I have big square containers for flour and sugar. I also use the produce container, mostly for herbs. I don't use Tupperware for leftovers/lunches because they always get lost. I just buy containers at the store.

A few round containers used for leftovers in the fridge, a cake carrier, and as mentioned in the other thread, a cereal container I use for dry cat food.

Same. I don't own a single piece. We're not big on left-overs, and I rarely every buy or cook in bulk and freeze things. Most of the odds-and-ends in my fridge get put in a ziplock bag or plastic wrap (for the obligatory 2-week holding period before I go ahead and toss them :lmao:) and all my cereal and pantry staples stay in the same packaging they were purchased in. If I'm packing my lunch or delivering a meal to someone it always goes in disposable containers that I don't have to worry about getting back. I can't really bring myself to "re-purpose' an empty margarine or cottage cheese tub, but I'd do it in a pinch long before I'd ever buy Tupperware.
 
We don't own a single piece of Tupperware either. We've got a couple divided Rubbermaid dishes that DH uses for lunch on the rare occasions that we have leftovers and my kids have a couple of lunchbox sets also made by Rubbermaid. I buy Glad or the aluminum disposable containers if I am sending/taking stuff to work or school or neighborhood events.
 
We still use those brightly colored bowls that we got in 1982 every day, as well as the measuring cups and measuring spoons. Like I said in the other post, we just don't microwave in the bowls anymore. Although we also have a large collection of former "I Can't Believe It's Not butter" tubs.
 
I have one piece of Tupperware. It's one of the old yellow canisters. I use it to keep my sugar in. Found it at a yard sale about 20 years ago.
 
The only Tupperware I own is a couple pieces of the Disney Holiday line, they came out with in 2014. I use them year round, as containers for candy, to keep our young cat from getting into them (we have to keep all chip bags, bread products in a cupboard because he just shreds the packaging). I have the stack on the right (the other stacks are the canister set)

Now, my Mom was a big fan of her Tupperware and her most used items were the measuring cups and the "Fix 'n Mix" Bowl which mostly got used as the popcorn bowl, but she would also use it to make Strawberry Soup (Grand Floridian recipe) and waffle batter.

I do batch cooking in bulk and freeze some of that in Rubbermaid containers and otherwise Ziploc bags. I store my flours and sugars in Rubbermaid containers. I have a Tupperware vegetable peeler which I use constantly as well as some Tupperware deli meat refrigerator containers.
 
I use the measuring spoons and cups the most, but I use my bowls and pitcher quite often too.
 
My DH uses the green lettuce bowl with the white domed top. He likes iceberg lettuce on his sandwiches. Other than that, we have a few pieces that are rarely used - a cake holder, cupcake holder, and smaller rectangular cake holder. I have been getting away from plastic and using mostly glass for refrigerator storage, and DH uses Hillshire Farm lunch meat containers for his sandwiches.
 
Most of our storage stuff isn't Tupperware brand. (Honestly, our most used are the free ones that come with the Hillshire Farms Ultra Thin deli meats at the grocery store.) But we have these cups... bought them when the kids were young. Both DH and I had them when we were kids, too.

I have a bowl about this size that's used almost exclusively for popcorn. Mine is dark pink.

We had these cups growing up and the fights for the red cup were insane. They were finally banned from the table...no joke.
