Lame killfile pride. If trolls want you to see them, they'll make you
see them. If you don't see them, it's because they don't care whether
you see them. You're not as important as you think you are.

my wife had a huge collection of tupperware she had bought before we
met in '82, in her "hope chest". quite a bit of it is still being
used now. the only other plasticware we have that is anywhere near
as durable is lock n lock. doesn't seem overpriced to me. is
more like she got what she paid for considering it's lasting her
lifetime.

That's the way it works at sales parties. They count on the peer
pressure to get that buying spree going. I don't know of any similar
deal for men because men and women treat shopping differently. Men tend
to go to a store for something specific and they tend to go alone. Women
tend to like to shop. I am sure lots will want to disagree with that
but I know lots of women who like to go shopping as a social event. I
don't know any guys who do that.

My mother bought Tupperware but I'm not sure she ever attended a

do remember her giving me a Tupperware lunchbox around 1978 when I was
going to work in an office. The same little red plastic "lunchbox" with different sized containers that all fit inside appears in episodes of
the TV show 'Young Sheldon' which was set in 1989 or so. I didn't keep
that lunchbox. Perhaps I should have. ;)

"Tupperware party".
One interesting thing is shoes. Typically, men don't have as many pairs
of shoes. When a guy needs shoes, he is likely to just buy them, and
not worry if they are on sale. Women often buy shoes differently. They can already have plenty of shoes, but if they see some they really like,
they might buy them if they are on sale, but not full price, because
they don't really need them. Consequently, women's shoes go on sale far more than men's shoes. I had a conversation with a coworker at Target
about that. She also worked at a shoe store, and said she noticed that women's shoes went on sale a lot more than men's but had never really
thought about why.
I am unusual that I have more shoes than my wife. DSW sends out $10 off
a $25 purchase, and I go straight to the clearance area...
Why Brooks Beast? Some years ago I has Planter Fasciitis. Orthopedic
doctor recommended them and it has never come back. Most comfortable footwear ever. I've converted a couple of people that are on there feet
a lot and they stick with them too.
My wife never had more than a few pairs, She would not wear heels so
that avoided one issue.

I have three pair. One is a leather loafer, a dressier shoe that I've not worn in over six years.
The other two are Brooks Beast sneakers. One is about worn out, the other pair fairly new. I keep the old one in case something ruins the newest one.

I worked in an all male environment so that stuff was limited. There
were two guys with girls in Brownies and I reluctantly agreed to buy
some of those shitty cookies even though I don't like them at all. Then
one day I try to flog something for my son's school fundraiser. Some of
the other guys bought some but not the two guys who had been selling
Girl Scout cookies. That solved my problem with what to do about Girl
Scout cookies.

My wife went to a clothing party back in the 1970s and she bought a
couple nice Tshirt type tops. She finally scrapped one about two years
ago. It was definitely good quality.
Back in those days parents were always bringing in order lists for
things their children were supposed to sell to raise money for
something for their school. Wrapping paper, cookies, candy, etc.Â
The company I worked for at the time finally decreed they were not
allowed to do that.

I did wonder why it wasn't the kids who were doing the selling rather
than the parents. Okay, let's not get into a discussion about how kids couldn't go door-to-door because the boogie man down the block might get them. There are other ways to sell, including setting up stands outside
of grocery stores (I thought that's what the Girl Scouts did.)Â These
kids shoved the duty off onto their parents; take this sales sheet to

That's the way it works at sales parties. They count on the peer
pressure to get that buying spree going. I don't know of any similar
deal for men because men and women treat shopping differently. Men
tend to go to a store for something specific and they tend to go
alone. Women tend to like to shop. I am sure lots will want to
disagree with that but I know lots of women who like to go shopping
as a social event. I don't know any guys who do that.

Maybe. Could be the parent at fault. My kid is wonderful and I want

Tupperware
©State Archives of Florida/Florida Memory /Alamy Stock Photo
A chemist named Earl S. Tupper developed one of the world's most iconic products " and it all started with a paint can. He was working in a
plastics factory when he came up with the idea of designing food storage containers with air and liquid-tight seals, such as those on paint cans.
This was shortly after the Great Depression, and Tupper wanted to help families reduce food waste. There was just one problem: the containers
were so effective that consumers struggled to open them, often needing
to be shown how...
Deciding to embrace the personal touch, the company began to sell
directly to consumers through Tupperware parties, an innovative
marketing scheme whereby self-employed salespeople sold Tupperware in people's homes. The tactic paid off and Tupperware became hugely successful.

Yes, American companies have been doing that for many years in the name
of PROFIT. Not just Mexico, many other low labor cost countries. I

Chapter 11 bankruptcy enables a company to reorganize and keep
operating.
Tupperware filed Chapter 11 last September.

I can't recall if I've ever been to one of these parties. We've been
invited to several of those parties though. The hosts like to invite
couples into their little world. We may or may have not gone to these
"parties" but I do know about Multi-level marketing AKA, pyramid schemes >>> AKA pyramid scams.
They are not really selling overpriced plastic containers or cleaning
products, vacuum cleaners, or health products. Their real product is
"business opportunities" and the dream of the good life. A life of being >>> your own boss. Greed, as in most schemes/scams is always a big part of
it.
Tupperware went bankrupt.

Somebody's still manufacturing and selling them. I think they're stodgy
and unattractive. They really need to modernize their collections. The
good news is that Tupperware is a well known name brand.
