All that is true, but food containers still sell. People have lunch boxes etc.
Tupperware has not innovated, patents have expired. Same injection mold plastics that eventually gets color stains from the food.
Cheap knockoffs everywhere.
Higher quality plastic containers available.
Tupperware brand is associated with grandmothers and valued only by them. Younger people don't buy them.
People who are ready to pay more use metallic containers or borosilicate glass containers with plastic lid. Buy one with good silicone-rubber seal lid and they last forever.
There is nothing going on with Tupperware.
- disgruntledphd2 2y agoI actually really wanted to buy Tupperware,specifically because it lasted. Imagine my surprise when it turned out I'd need to go to a Tupperware party to do so.
- eloisant 2y agoBuy glass containers with silicon lids instead. They also last but don't get stained by the food you put inside.
- Hikikomori 2y agoThe ones from Ikea are great. Lid also works for a large variety of containers.
- disgruntledphd2 2y agoYeah that's what I ended up with.
- Iulioh 2y agoFrom a sustainability standpoint ikea is the way to go. They have the glass containers and even plastic if you want something more light. They are safely impilable (the lid is a little shallow) The best thing about them is the fact that you can buy the lids and containers separately (the hinges of the lids tend to break after sometime)
- timeon 2y ago> Tupperware brand is associated with grandmothers Where I'm from Tupperware is associated more with multilevel marketing. While plastic containers are common Tupperware branded are not.
