FYI you can buy glass “Tupperware” that works better than the plastic stuff. It’s more durable and easier to clean.
Why did we start even buying plastic containers for this purpose?
- Cymrukicks 3y agoCost and weight, most people won't see the plastic version as something important and won't invest. Also the weight difference means transport to stores cost orders of magnitude more than the plastic so its more difficult to stock.
- bazmattaz 3y agoLikely plastic was cheaper, easier to transport and easier disposed
- jawon 3y agoGlass chips and breaks. "Tupperware" can take punishment for years. Decades even. Our household started replacing plastic containers with glass last year and we've already cracked 3 and smashed 1. The plastics, used for pet food now, are unchanged.
