If you are of a certain generation, Tupperware will almost certainly have figured prominently in your upbringing. My mother used to host “Tupperware parties” every few months, and our kitchen cupboards were plentifully stocked with those colorful plastic containers.

So I find myself sadden somewhat by this news.

Sometimes Chapter 11 (reorganization) has a successful outcome but more often it is a stop on the way to Chapter 7(liquidation).

My mother still has much of her 40+ year old Tupperware in active usage.

Hopeful the iconic brand survives.

My Mom has given me some of her Tupperware that was around during my childhood. The lids still seal tightly. They're my go-to leftover containers.

Another brand that is synonymous with my '70s experience.

Just shows that nothing lasts forever. Though I'm sure the product will survive for a while longer.

Never had Tupperware brand in the house in my life, but that’s what we’ve always called our storage containers. I need a Kleenex.

Had lots of Tupperware. Got some after getting married but didn't follow up on it much. By the way, my students always ask to get a tissue now. I haven't heard Kleenex in years!

In Canada, people would look at your weird if you said tissue instead of Kleenex.

I remember learning in high school French class that the French refer to all cameras as Kodaks.

Still have and use Tupperware drink classes from when I was a kid.  Have to be almost 50 years old now.  Might be nostalgia, but Coke just doesn't taste the same in anything else.
