remember Tupperware?



These plastic boxes were 'born' a few years before me.... in 1946 and was a huge success due to the novel way of marketing it via party's at people homes'.

The hostess provided refreshments and a Tupperware rep would display the wares and explain how you could not live without the containers.



If one was invited to such a party, you felt obliged to buy a couple of things....

I recall that the prices were exorbitant and even if the stuff does last forever, it was a big investment at the time.

But 'keeping up with the Joneses' was virulent in those days.
