I'm late to the Tupperware situation (which I have a lot of feelings about) https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/apr/11/tupperware-warns-could-go-bust-emergency-funding?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other The Daily Mail has blamed the brand's demise on the modern lack of dutiful housewives (obvs), but I think it represents a more interesting domestic technology pivot.

Firstly, Tupperware lasts. My parents have some that's >40 years old. If you have a small kitchen and buy 5 or 6 pieces of Tupperware, you're good to go for years and years. It even has a lifetime warranty https://www.tupperware.com/pages/warranty

@rachelcoldicutt My daughter does not use plastic food storage out of concern for her children. She uses only glass. If she is typical of her generation (she's 42) this may be part of Tupperware's problem.
