Ever made a casserole dish or something you made...and you need to store it in? Well...we used containers, sometimes aluminum foil or cling wrap...but then there are dishes that are needed to be frozen, heated up and even.... stored. Tupperware was the brand name of one such thing. But....nobody talks about Tupperware anymore. Where did it come from? Who created them....and ever heard of 'Tupperware parties?'
Earl Tupper gave us something for many housewives to brag about for years to come. He created a casserole dish you could use to store stroganoff, lasagna and many more.
He came up with the idea when he discovered polyethylene while working and decided to make cups and bowls and much more. Suddenly, he struck up an idea when they wanted to store food that people would store for later.
Around the sixties is when Tupperware started to make a stride. Women that were considered housewives would show off their Tupperware at get togethers. Show off the type of Tupperware they would have and talk about it all.
Some people even showed off the latest stiles. They would have get togethers just for something that you find in a kitchen. They were called.... "Tupperware Parties"
I guess around the 60s and 70s, a lot of stuff was going on. But it seems...before women would start going to into the work force, some women would host parties and brag about who has the best this or that when it came to something you use daily.
Tupperware Parties were just a party used for women to gather around and explain how certain containers holding food worked.
You don't see many of those parties happening anymore, but Tupperware is still around. People would buy them to store food or cook with or even try to see what could be used for the kitchen.
Back in the sixties, people were amazed on how overwhelming a kitchen could be. Having refrigerators that matched kitchen drapes, toasters and much more electronic devices were starting to appear. Tupperware was part of that mix.
Tupperware is brand name; and it is still around today. We just call them containers mostly now. Tupperware has their own containers that people will still use.
Tupperware parties are kind of passe as people now don't get what's so popular about an ordinary container. All we know is that one man decided to create something that made housewives (and husbands) even today.
