Tupperware

[xraytech]

As some here may know I recently bought a home, so I have decided to have a Tupperware book party to help equip my kitchen with my favorite kitchenware.

So, I'd like to invite anyone here that may be interested in ordering Tupperware the opportunity to order under my party.
My party will run until March 8th. I will provide a link to the online party where you can order and have it shipped directly from the factory .

I'd like to thank anyone who may order.

Sam

Ok, after posting, I found out I cant send a direct link to my party,
However I've attached a link to the online catalog.
If you would like to order let me know on here or via private message, I can then send you an invitation via email to my party as well as instructions on ordering.

Thanks

Wow, looked through the catalogues and Tupperware has gotten very pricey.  Have tons of it stashed in the basement that my mother bought, still use a few pieces like the celery storer and the lettuce keeper, but I’ve got a lot of those cereal containers that I never use and I see they are $20 a piece!  Some of the stuff was well north of $100, amazing.

 

I wish you well with your party, Tupperware does make some good stuff.

Best of luck with the party!

I've always liked the storage sets, have a couple of them and two of the large, square stacking Modular Mates we use for keeping popcorn to snack on through the week.  Smaller sizes are great for keeping brown and powdered sugar fresh and I even have a couple for white and yellow popcorn.  We get it at local a farm sold in plastic bags so the Mod Mates keep it fresh for months.

 

It was sad when they discontinued the Fix-N-Mix bowl, that was a standard in many, many kitchens through the years and a very useful size for large amounts.  It's the rare estate sale that doesn't have a couple of them, usually well-worn, for sale.

I'm actually doing fairly well with the party so far,

And Greg, I too love the fix and mix bowl. About 5 or 6 years ago it came back as a limited offer in raspberry sherbet or blueberry mist, I naturally got both colors. Servalier is my ultimate favorite.

In my world spending extra on Tupperware is worth the investment I use all my pieces heavily

Bit ya can't put it in the nuker!

A gal in my dorm had tupperware parties and said that (I know, I know, you can now). Just make sure you don't and good luck with the party!

To tell you the truth we grew up with the softer, semi-translucent Tupperware of the 60's and that's what we prefer. The newer Tupperware just seems so hard and plasticy. But best wishes for your party.

I would love to see the Tupperware pot & pan set that sells for over $2K!

My Mom sold Tupperware

Way back in Camelott. She said they always had cookware to order, it was made by Wearever then.
We used to still have her traveling trunk when she did parties. I'll have to go dig in the garage and see if it's still there. It had the inner lid with the display-0-gram and price list. It was expensive then as well.

I love Tupperwware, but there are so many more economical alternatives now.

Good luck with your party.

Unfortunately ...

"To tell you the truth we grew up with the softer, semi-translucent Tupperware of the 60's and that's what we prefer."

I also grew up with the "vintage" Tupperware.

Unfortunately, what helped to make that Tupperware so soft and pliable was BPA, a known carcinogen and thyroid-killer.

Tupperware has been BPA-free since 2010. Unfortunately, that means anything made prior to 2010 still contains BPA.

I also "prefer" the softer feel of the vintage stuff, but not at the expense of my health. The "hard, plasticky" Tupperware is not only BPA-free, it's also not as porous and less apt to "stain" by trapping microscopic particles of food, allowing them to rot literally inside the plastic.

Softer plastics -- even BPA-free varieties -- do still contain other toxic components that leach into your food much faster than do the harder plastics.

Well, you can't go back and change history. What's done is done. Now the question is why wasn't BPA investigated more thoroughly back when it was first produced?

We have a few pieces of Tupperware that we use on occasion. But everything else in our kitchen is glass or ceramic. No plastics at all. And we've been like that since the 70's. And there is a reason for our choice.

"As I understand it", bisphenol-A is no risk between room and fridge/freezer temps. Only if you microwave in it does it leach. The REALLY bad news was that they were using it in microwave popcorn bag liners, which get hot enough to--well--pop corn. Oh, and if the BPA didn't get you the diacetyl--artificial butter flavor--would. It killed workers in popcorn factories who inhaled the dust.

Diacetyl is a naturally-occurring flavorant. Just don't stuff butter up your nose and you should be OK.

BPA risk ...

"As I understand it", bisphenol-A is no risk between room and fridge/freezer temps."

Not true.

Plastic chemicals leach into food at all temperatures; the process is just more accelerated at higher temps.

This is why BPA is being eliminated in ALL food containers, including water bottles.

As for why BPA wasn't more closely investigated ... welcome to a government regulation system that's run by and for CORPORATIONS, not necessarily the people. We live in a country that still purposely infuses its drinking water with a neurotoxin (fluoride).
