How many of you remember fondly “The Tupperware parties”? I understand they are still being held sometimes, but not like when I was a young housewife.
We lived 9 miles from town and our small group of neighbors and friends held Tupperware parties as a way to gather, spend some time together, have fun and earn some prizes for the Hostess and nice storage ware for the guests to buy.
Tupperware was invented by Earl Silas Tupper in 1946 using leftover synthetic material (courtesy of Du Pont). Originally sold in stores, the party concept was the idea of a single southern Florida mother who was selling it at parties. Bonnie Wise was made vice president of the company and the Tupperware Parties were born.
By 1951, the Tupperware Home Demonstration system was working so well that all Tupperware products were taken off store shelves and sold at parties.
Maybe you still have some of your pieces or some of your Mother’s pieces left as I do. They were such good quality that I still use my measuring cups and spoons in preference to the many other sets I own, and one of the bowls is the only bowl I use for pasta salads. Great Stuff!
During the holiday bazaar season, there was a Tupperware dealer at our local mall this year!Shared by Myrna
