Tupperware Saves The World

Tupperware is one of those brands that's bigger than itself. Just like people who go for a "Coke" in Texas may mean their going to get any soft drink other than Coca-Cola, Tupperware now means any plastic containers.

I am extra super proud because I just realized I could put some stuff in containers and just rubber band the label to container (pictured). We also order from a certain Chinese place when we start running out of bowl sized containers (how awesome is it that they use those instead of paper cartons?).

If you're like me, you have one cabinet or drawer that will occasionally not close because of Tupperware avalanches.  Yeah, the plastic containers tend to build and build because I also buy sandwich meat in the plastic containers because it's like getting a free gift every time we finish the meat inside.

After dinner on most nights we delve into the plasticware for the appropriate container, but it seems we can never find a bottom that matches a top. This causes further Tupperware avalanches. Once every year or so we swear to never have this problem again and we throw away all the stuff that doesn't match. At that time, I can be seen by the dumpster with a single tear running down my cheeks.  It's sad that some containers lose their partner in life, but I guess they go wherever all the missing socks, lighters and keys go (possibly another dimension).
