Sad to hear this. I remember such fun at the Tupperware parties back in the day.

Their items are so expensive and those home parties are not the

"thing" anymore. I have seen Tupperware on Amazon, but the prices have held me back from buying.

Their products are pretty good, but I have had several older pieces crack in the past few years, so it doesn't last forever. I'll hate to see them go, though.

I still have many Tupperware pieces that I got at parties in the '70's. They're as good as new and I've used them for 50 years. Very sad to see another company go under.

That's a shame. Chris Pryme must be celebrating this morning. I read that they've expanded into Target in the last year or so, but it seems to have been too little too late. They'd should have developed other retail channels, even at the expnse of traditional Tupperware parties. And, I don't recall ever seeing advertising for Tupperware.

I never went to a Tupperware party. I didn't know what it was until after I was married because my mom used Rubbermaid. But my MIL started giving me Tupperware as presents.

I ordered some when they had a booth at the local fair.

But my favorite thing is a set of 6 square lunch plates in colors of the southwest. I got them before my children were born and we STILL use them! Some have a few knife marks on them, then there is the famous clay-colored one that DH put in the microwave when he didn't know better, but they are part of our family history!

Just sad to hear another American institution going out.

I was remembering some of the " parties" I went to years ago. Tupperware, Princess House, some kind of wall decor, Mary Kay, and home clothing parties ( was it called Queensway ? )

Interesting. An older brand that fails to connect with younger consumers and needs to seek more modern forms of reach and distribution.

Sounds familiar to me.

Not surprised. I bought some last year at Target and returned them. Quality went downhill. I could not get the lids on them no matter how hard I tried. I even sat on one and the lid did not fit. Fortunately they were empty when I was trying. I can't imaging putting lids on them full of food. I'll stick with my Rubbermaid.

I'm so sorry to read this....I love some of their things, and if anything they were all too well made. I have had many of my pieces for 38 years, I got them right after we were married. I do not like lock n' lock so I guess I will be on the look out for leftover containers.

Sad to read this! I remember going to Tupperware parties with my Mom as a little girl, and, then having parties at my house.

I guess nothing lasts forever!

The only thing in my Kitchen that could burp, and not have to say excuse me.

As a child, the best thing about my mother hosting Tupperware parties was the left-over bridge mix and other candy.

I had a friend who sold Tupperware and asked me to host a party. I did and invited a group of ladies I worked with. I did not know at the time, that based on amount of sale, I qualified for specific gifts (containers) since I hosted the party. Still use the containers today. That was in the late 70s.

So sad to lose a product that became a "standard" through the years. I especially loved their wonderful children's sipper cups and still have newer pieces, like "3 nested bowls" with the best potato salad bowl EVER!

@ECBG I thought the Tupperware child's sippy cup was great. Simple design and easy to wash. We kept several around for a long while in case visitors forgot their kid's cup.

Our grandsons used those cups for orange juice when they would spend the weekend.

Can't remember when I last purchased actual Tupperware. I had a boatload of Lock-n-Lock. Some of the sets included seldom used sizes and I have had flaps break off over time. Yesterday I packed leftovers for our kids in L-n-L and told them I didn't the containers back. I'm clearing out most if it and am transitioning to using glass storage.

The parties got popular sometime in the 1960s but when I moved into my neighborhood when it was brand new in 1992, we had tons of them. It seemed like there was a party not just fr Tupperware, but for everything else under the sun. It got to be that I dreaded the party invite.

As many as there were for several years they seemed to suddenly disappear.

It is sad about Tupperware though....an American icon.
