Tupperware gone bust

Can't help but think; if only they'd have found a way to monetize the ability of their lids to enter alternate dimensions...they'd be the richest company on the planet.

Was an odd company, they sold via viral methods before the internet was a thing but didn't attract a new clientele even though 'meal prep' is now very common.

Didn't realise they were still around till a couple of years back the share price went from $2 to $40 driven by the wallstreetbets subreddit.

They tried to keep the news quiet, but couldn't keep a lid on it.

You can buy a million plastic pots with lids all made in china from your local "shop of random stuff" every high street seems to have.

I guess Tupperware themselves missed the part about patenting their invention!


(I recommend "Really useful boxes" UK firm, they are a bit more expensive than the cheap tat, but a hundred times better made and feel more sturdy

Prima facie this is the problem. Difficult to differentiate oneself when it comes to sealable plastic tubs.
