I’m old enough to remember selling Tupperware as a viable economy.
By the way, Tupperware is crap now. They deserve to go bankrupt. When a friend started selling Tupperware, I saw stuff that my mother still uses and I remember seeing at home when I was a kid. Now, we bought some stuff that two years later I had to throw away. It’s super shitty now. Not worth the money.
Enshittification!!!!!
MAKE. IT. SHITTY!
How does one enshittify shit? That's like a riddle
I can still vividly remember the flex and pop of the seal of the old stuff, and all the old colors, too
Now it’s all about Pyrex anyway.
Plus I won’t microwave anything plastic, even if it says I can.
Same. My wife scoffed at my suggesting she stop and when my doctor sister mentioned it at a holiday family event without my prompting she finally took it seriously.
Pyrex snapware ftw
I remember my older sister getting laid off from the Tupperware factory.
At least somebody got laid
I remember when you could make a living out of it…
I feel like Tupperware, Amway, and Mary Kay were the Ubers of 1980.
You forgot Avon.
All those old jobs are gone as a means of living. Al Bundy sold shoes. Door to door sales used to be viable
Al Bundy worked in a store, and they do still have Shoe Salesman.
It's primarily for Work shoes though. Not enough spread in the plastic garbage these days to make an actual living.
Source: Was a literal shoe salesman.
Me too, thanks
