I won't be attending any birthday parties or similar. All I want is a celebration of plastic containers.

ArishMell · 70-79, M
I had not heard or seen the name for so long I thought it had disappeared along with its "parties"; but no, a quick search it is still very much alive.

Tupperware goods are now sold through regular shops and on-line.

I wonder if the "parties" fell victim to being thought something like the schemes run by the likes of the shady Amway cleansing-products dealer.

It's very durable. My mum's cupboards are full of the stuff. I don't know where she got it from, but I doubt she ever attended a party as our homes were mainly on military bases which dampened the festive spirits 😞

@SunshineGirl maybe they dropped off catalogues like the avon lady used to

it just shows that with a little bit of structure and a little bit of deviating from that structure, you can have a great time.

for a while there were anne summers parties... it's true that we stray from the grace of god.

I was never invited, but my wife went to several and hosted at least one. We still have a lot of Tupperware.
GnomeyGee · 41-45, M
I remember my mom and grandma always having them. The kids were told to get outside and play. There would be 15-20 women piled up in our house slinging that tupperware 🤣🤣
emmasfriend · 46-50, F
Amused by the hairstyles !

All before my time.
But If someone invited me to an Ann Summers party I would go.
meggie · F
@emmasfriend I went to one once and my quality of life improved lots!!!
Lady90 · F
Im sure we had em in our house. They were ok i guess. Practical
meggie · F
@Shybutwilling2bfriends Really? was it the food or lots of housewives?
@meggie both
Degbeme · 70-79, M
My wife used to sell that stuff. I can remember having boxes of Tupperware piled up in my basement. 🙄
meggie · F
@Degbeme when I got married we were so poor we washed iut empty margarine and icecream containers. But they did tte job.
Degbeme · 70-79, M
@meggie Oh I remember doing that when we first got married. If we had Tupperware it was a gift from someone.
SpudMuffin · 61-69, M
I remember my mum going to them, back in the sixties. I think they're still going.
Acheron · 41-45, M
I imagine it's gone the route of virtual. Hosts just spamming their contacts trying to get someone to buy rather than taking the time for the gathering.
lissah · 36-40, F
I guess those are different from passion parties?
Lady90 · F
Guess in those days some women might see it as a nite out. At least it was social.
OldBrit · 61-69, M
They closed down about 20 years ago in the UK. Stuff is distributed here now
meggie · F
@OldBrit i saw them set up a display in a shopping mall once. It was something like £20 for a lunchbox
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
I was a kid, so I was only there for the food.
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
I think I read somewhere that Tupperware went bankrupt or is on the verge of it.
Iwillwait · M
Looks like "Demo-Day" at The Container Store.
RoxClymer · 41-45, M
@Iwillwait that's basically all they were
with a side table of snacks
not much "party"
zonavar68 · 56-60, M
Weren't they really big in the 1950's through to 1970's?
Not until the strippers arrived
meggie · F
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout there's no strippers at tupperware parties
peterlee · M
In the fifties, men treated women like door mats. So called macho. They spent their time up the pub. Made a change from the WI! and that jam making.

I reckong like trams and vinyl they will make a comeback oneday when austerity returns to the US

An early form of pyramid trading.
ArishMell · 70-79, M
@meggie It was one huge scam, hopping money up the chain so the top ones would make a lot of money from those at the bottom who ended up with goods they could not sell.
meggie · F
@ArishMell i remember my aunt saying how she got guilt tripped into a party and then several after, where you all had to buy in order to help the hostess get her free matching plastic kettle and toaster.
ArishMell · 70-79, M
@meggie Perhaps once enough people saw through that ruse, the whole "party" trick started to unravel?

I think there were others - didn't Anne Summers start like that?
