slo’s THURSDAY 11/30 poll - Tupperware

[slo]

Tupperware is no longer just a range of plastic containers used for storing food - there’s several other products for other uses. Which leads me to ask……

Do you have Tupperware products in your home?
If yes…,what do you have?
Have you been to a Tupperware party?
Have you hosted a Tupperware party?
(multiple choice)

**For the poll…..
From the Tupperware website:
FOOD STORAGE - countertop, fridge, freezer, microwave reheatable, pantry
KITCHEN - baking tools, chopping slicing peeling, gadgets tools, microwave cooking, mixing bowls, oven bakeware, stovetop cooking
TABLE - bowls plates, drinkware, serveware, serving bowls, utensils

*Please post the products you own and let us know what are your favorite products.


For Me…..I love my Tupperware, even though I do think it’s expensive. The products do last forever, so I guess they are worth the price. I have many food storage items fridge storage & microwave reheatable), some kitchen items (microwave cooking) and some table items (drinkware & serving bowls). I’ve been to many parties and have held my own party - they are always fun.

My favorite product is the tumblers that have a lid and place for a straw - they are the best for all ages.

I have some Tupperware that I’ve had for decades - I have no idea where it came from…

 

[Meriweather]

I do have Tupperware. A lot of it was my mother's and is VERY old. Some I have given to my DD because I never used them.
I have been to and hosted parties, but not for many years. I haven't bought any in many years. I go with cheaper ones now because a lot of times I don't get them back when I send things to my kids houses.

I loved my Tupperware. Plastic containers now seem so flimsy in comparison.

I went to a Tupperware party 30+ years ago and bought some kitchen storage containers. I still have them but rarely use them. I always find it a struggle getting the lids to fit on the containers. I really should just get rid of them.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I do not currently have any Tupperware. I remember growing up, my parents and grandparents had quite a bit of it. I have no idea whatever happened to it unfortunately.

I know my MIL has plenty of it still. She has food storage and kitchen stuff. I am pretty sure her salt and pepper shakers are Tupperware.

I mostly just use Rubbermaid stuff. The problem is people will bring in stuff and the lids keep getting mixed and mingled. Every now and then I will get frustrated and throw it ALL out and start over with a new set because none of the lids seem to match any of the containers

I gave away all my Tupperware when I re-organized my kitchen some years ago.
A lot went to my mother and younger sister.
The demned stuff is haunting me as pieces I gave Mom are still in this house

I opted for restaurant takeout pint and quart containers. Easy to purchase from Amazon, all have the same size lids, and I no longer care if they don’t come back or “mysteriously” disappear ( I KNOW it was you, Aunt Elvie ).

You can buy Tupperware on Amazon and at target now! They had the cutest pastel set last spring!

 

[Dan Murphy]

I know we have some. Storage containers, they work great. And we have about 5 or 6 sippy cups, various bright colors, that we have from when Vince and Natalie used sippy cups. The sippy tops are removable and they are a regular 8 oz.. drinking glass. They are pretty much our most often used cups in the kitchen. They have to be over 40 years old and are like new. By far, my favorite drinking cup in the kitchen.

I have never been to one of those parties but Marie used to go to them, many years ago. I don't recall if she ever hosted. If she did, I wasn't in the house, ha. .

 

[leebee]

No Tupperware here at all. I use other storage containers (rubbermaid, and another brand I can't think of at the moment) for home and have some cheap stuff from Dollar Tree that I use for sending leftovers with guests, take to Disney with me, etc.

 

[easyas123]

Never been to a Tupperware party, nor do I have any of their products.
I do have some Lock & Lock items, but it's been a few years and even though I don't use them often here and there a container has broken so my set has been diminished.

I mostly do what Kathryn M does, every once in a while go thru my Rubbermaid stuff and toss anything not in great shape and/or w/o a lid and buy a whole new set!

Oh - now that is a good idea!

As I type my husband is researching commercial food sealers - they type where you place the item to be sealed in a box, kinda sorta like the butcher might have, but a bit smaller. I just need to find a place for it to live in the kitchen that isn't on the counter.

 

[Praying Colonel]

We have some of those tall, thin Tupperware glasses* that I think will still be in good working order when the Rapture comes.



*--they're plastic, but you know what I mean.

 

[Moliphino]

I don't have any actual Tupperware. I have Pyrex glass bowls with lids and some Rubbermaid plastic storage containers for storing food.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

I’m the queen of Tupperware I have tons of it I had an inside connection years ago
As a young adult I bought Tupperware like it was going to be taken off the planet I got it at yard sales estate sales garage sales flea markets and a certain relative sold it I had tons of parties so that all my little friends I have a boatload of Tupperware and I love the stuff it lasts forever if a piece breaks it will get replaced absolutely love Tupperware
When they came out with their storage units to organize your kitchen I lost my mind I bought so many of those I think they’re the greatest thing and sliced bread I still use them I use them all over my house my sewing kit is from Tupperware
Some of my Tupperware is more than 50 years old and still going strong!!
Don’t ever ask to borrow my Tupperware I do not loan it out - if you take food from my house will give it to you in another dish but not in Tupperware not even to family I won’t even let you take your lunch Tupperware unless of course it’s a dish made by Tupperware for your lunch then maybe if you’ve been good but maybe
People who know me know not to touch my Tupperware!!

No Tupperware here either. I do send a lot of food out the door though, and never want to fuss about getting the containers back. I keep a good stock of foil pans, “fake” Tupperware-type cheap plastic containers and ziplock bags for that purpose. Here at home, if I need to store something in the fridge, I use a bowl and plastic wrap.

 

[BlueStarryHat]

I just remembered that our canisters are Tupperware. They keep everything nice and fresh and I know they're at least 30 years old.

I have been to a Tupperware party-as a kid in the Harvest Gold and Avocado Green heyday of the 70s. My Mom held a couple.

We don't use plastic for our leftovers-my cousin runs the bar at our local VFW post, and goes to a restaurant supply place to stock up for it, and while she's there she picks up those round foil takeout containers with the cardboard lids, I think it's 500 in a box. We use those.

 

[CdnCarrie]

I do have some pieces. I was thrown a tupperware bridal shower way back in the 90s.
Also attended couple parties but not in recent years.

 

[RedAngie]

I have plenty of food storage containers but I don’t think any are Tupperware brand.

My mother had lots of it, including many unusual pieces.

 

[_19disnA]

Don't own any tupperware but lots of other companies make the same type of resealable containers now. Perhaps their patents have run out. My mom used to have a few pieces and whatever plastic material there were made from seemed to wear out after a period of time.

Never understood why they only sold them at those 'parties' instead of being available in stores. Recall when that used to be a thing in the past. I guess their idea was you felt obligated to buy something by being invited to someone's home tupperware 'party'...................LOL.
