As a child who grew up in the 1970’s, I was surrounded by Tupperware. I’m pretty sure my mom probably hosted a Tupperware party more than a few times. For younger readers, a Tupperware party would be pretty much the same as a Essential Oils Party or Pampered Chef Party today. EVERYONE I knew used Tupperware! However, word is that they company may be going away for good.

According to CBS news, “The Orlando-based company said it had ‘substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern’ in a press release and securities filing.” It’s also considering selling some of its real estate holdings or cutting other parts of the business, which it termed “right-sizing efforts” in its press release.

This is sad. I can’t tell you how many glasses of Kool Aid I poured from the Tupperware pitcher.

You can bet that the Kool Aid was poured into Tupperware cups, too!

I wonder how many leftovers were sealed up in bowls or canisters with the ridged Tupperware lid during my childhood?

One Tupperware staple that I will forever connect with my mom was the sugar “bowl.” It had a matching creamer container that went with it.

My mom always used a lot of sugar in her tea. I remember her pouring it out of that container like it was yesterday.

I guess Tupperware had a resurgence a few years ago with Covid. More people were staying home and cooking, and their sales were up a lot. Word is now that there are may issues the company is dealing with and it is more than likely that the company will close up shop for good.

Sigh, another piece of my childhood to become a memory …
