Aunt Barbara Reads Food Adds from Old Magazines
Aunt Barbara has been one of the top Tupperware sellers for years now and has the best videos, gotta love 'em. She does seem to have put on a few pounds lately but the new hairdo is fabulous.
Her videos are sort of interesting-makes you want to buy the Tupperware--BUT all I need is just a simple large sandwich box-nothing more.No fancy bags or cake dishes.The first video-If I saw THAT coming to my house I would hide under the bed!2nd video--sorry, she looks like a blue eyed raccoon wearing a dark mop!Her makeup and hairdos just look too extreme for me.

Like Aunt Barbara says, there is a Tupperware product for every budget, certainly one for your sandwiches. Why on earth would you be afraid of her and want to hide under the bed? She’s just an ordinary Long Island housewife who loves her makeup and happens to shlep a little Tupperware now and then. Here she is shopping at Pathmark with some fabulous music in the background!

Thanks for posting Beykeyknee
I wonder if the corporate level at "Tupperware" cringed a little when the television hosts asked about "Brownie Wise".. Thank You, Sandy! That's 2 heroines. I had no idea who "Ms. Brownie Wise" was I also really enjoyed "Fanny Cradocks" cooking vids, " Its so easy when you know the way ".

Aunt Barbara looks ok when she's sitting down, but that store video makes her look 6'2". The illusion kind of fades at that height. I always thought drag queens were rather diminuitive?
It was in the "Back to School" video clip the getup,makeup,hairdo she was wearing looked sort of scary to me!Maybe I will have to call her-my sandwich box I use for carrying my lunch sandwich to work is worn out-orig got it from Wal-Mart.Not a replacement to be found there-no other place has them here,either-were not talking about that wimpy Wonder Bread case-its too small for my whole wheat or rye bread sandwiches.
Now if she only knew WHAT was in those beef hot dogs-think the content has changed now-but in those early days-early 70's while I was going to college one of my classmates-"Chitty"worked at the meat packing plant in Yankton,SD at that time.As I was going to eat a hot dog in the school cafeteria-he explained what went into them!!He would say--"When I run the gut grinder--THAT is what went into hot dogs and other things--including their cattle magnets"Cattle are fed medicine capsule shaped magnets to prevent things like nails and such from going thru their intestines.They can be found in ranch and farm supply shops in the West.Chitty would mention a loud noise as he was shredding the guts after the carcuss was cleaned.the noise was the magnet being shredded in the grinder-that was another ingredient in your hot dogs!Wonder if Barbara would like that peice of news-to this day don't eat hot dogs!!Put the one back in the school lunch room and had something else!

I love Aunt Barbara!
She (he) is awesome. Hysterical videos. I grew up with Tupperware and have quite a few vintage items. I love to cook and anything kitchen related so I decided to sign up with Aunt Barbara to sell new Tupperware. Lots of really cool products. I brought some catalogs to work and got nearly mugged! LOL. I'll share the link to my site if anyone is interested.

Selling Tupperware is hard work! My mother and an aunt of mine sold Tupperware for a number of years back in the early to mid 60's. Everything was based on sales goals. My aunt was successful enough to become a "distributor" for Tupperware and would get a new station wagon from Tupperware free of charge every few years.
Not only did you have to keep busy scheduling parties, you had to track and make orders, ship them out when they arrived in a timely manner. Then you had weekly meetings at the local Tupperware office where all the "teams" out of that office would meet and discuss sales progress. And if you were the head of a team you had to go back to the office for a weekly team leaders meeting. It certainly kept you hopping.
Needless to say we had a LOT of Tupperware in our house growing up. The only thing I didn't like about it was that when washing dishes it HAD to be some of the first items washed during dishwashing. It you didn't heed this warning you had glasses that would be so greasy they'd slip out of your hands. This is one reason today that we have virtually no plastic containers in our house today. Everything we have is either ceramic or glass.
When we were growing up before we got a dishwasher my sister used to do the dishes. She loved to wash the tupperware immediately after washing a pot roast pan, or a roaster pan. When you'd pull a Tupperware glass off the shelf you could see the old grease sticking to it.

Haha, yes it's a lot of work for sure. Thankfully things have become more automated. Customers can buy things right on the consultants website and even have orders mailed right to them. It's really a lot of fun and I enjoy selling it. Takes a lot to make a salary out of it, but not impossible. Aunt Barbara makes 6 figures! But yea. She is doing parties constantly.
Everything now is dishwasher safe.

I forgot to mention that the greasy Tupperware could easily be fixed by rewashing in hot water with a good dish detergent. Then it'll become squeaky clean again. But there was always something funny when you poured a glass of milk into a glass my sister had washed and the milk has a layer of tomato sauce on top of it from last nights lasagne dinner!
Any idea why Tupperware went to the "hard" plastic rather than staying with the "softer plastic" of the 60's? I guess microwavability was one reason.

I'm not really sure but you are probably right. That and to be dishwasher safe. For our warranty info they state anything made after September 1979 is dishwasher safe.
