Seduced by Tupperware

[Dimplenose]

I have a cupboard full of Tupperware (and similar products by other manufacturers ) yet a fridge full of food in plastic bags and clingfilm.

Every time I go to Ikea or big TESCOs I persuade myself I need more of these colourful little boxes.

I'm trying to sort them out at the moment. I think I really need a way of keeping the lids and boxes so that I can match them up in a hurry. Any ideas welcomed.

Tupperware is a nightmare ! horrible invention

Isn't their HQ near WDW?

 

[UKDEB]

Yes, isn't it on S Orange Blossom Trail? We've driven past it a couple of times, but I wouldn't make a special trip.

Maybe you could donate your specimens to their museum, Libby!

Yes, Tim. It's in Orlando.

Next time you get the chance to watch the movie Little Shop of Horrors, watch for the great spoof of 1950 Tupperware parties Frank Oz included.

Snap, Debbie. You must have been sending your reply while I was writing mine. Cue the Twilight Zone music.

I loved it as a kid when my Mum hosted Tupperware parties - great excuse to stay up late.

Doo doo doo doo...

That looks different in print to the way it sounded in my head!

Should I ask how you know this, Paul?


After I had DS(17) loads of my post natal friends hosted Tupperware parties and I felt obliged to buy something, but now I just keep on buying more and more boxes - probably because I can never find the lids I need.
Anyway I've spent a whole afternoon washing all my boxes and reorganising the cupboard. Hopefully I'll start using the stuff again. It seems silly not using the carrier bags at the supermarket and then using rolls of plastic bags in the kitchen. (I give it 2 weeks before I'm back using bags!)

My husband is always moaning about a cupboard full of stupid plastic pots that jump out at him as soon as he opens the door. Yet I cannot resist buying more. Especially ones with lock lids.

I haven't tried those ..... yet!

Tron - did you take that photo yourself?
