TUPPERWARE

TUPPERWARE

Not
all technology is electrical based and needing replaceable batteries
or a nearby socket for recharging and I think the pinnacle of non
electrical technology is Tupperware and it needs more visibility due
to the fact that it is a technological marvel that has been around
since the dawn of time, give or take a century or so. Tupperware for
all those that don't know is a range of kitchen ware mainly used as
storage devices for varying types of food. There are also gravy jugs,
salt and pepper shakers, spice storage canisters and many other
items.



I
have fond memories of food being stored and served up in Tupperware,
such as Saturday 5.00pm, tea time, mixed salad served in a Tupperware
bowl and then sealed with the remaining salad and placed in the
fridge only to be served up Sunday night tea. Saturday nights dessert
was jelly served in the ring mould and Sunday nights dessert was a
mix of jelly and condensed milk to make blancmange (recipe
suggestion) served in the afore mentioned ring mould.

I
remember, in the 70s and 80s, when I was growing up my mum, who was what was known at the time as a housewife, held
Tupperware parties, buying and selling Tupperware, sharing stories of
Tupperware and suggesting new and exciting ways of using Tupperware,
most exciting.

Tupperware
has changed so much over the years to the point where it no longer
bares any resemblance to the original. Now original Tupperware is
vintage and can be worth quite a bit.

I
still use original Tupperware and it still holds its own to current
storage devices although they are probably seen more as a collectable
items which means I could recomend these to people who spend quite a bit of time in the kitchen or like to collect quite obscure things.
