@@traceytrotter9934 Mmmm ... homemade 60s recipe Chex party mix, love that stuff! I still make it every year for the holidays in memory of my mom. The stuff in the store today doesn't even come close.
I have a decades old brown Tupperware double spoon rest. You know where you put your utensils when cooking ? It's perfect to use on weekends when I have a cooked breakfast. It keeps those two eggs safely corralled, and from rolling off the counter, before I cook them !
LOVE this one in particular because my mother was a Tupperware regional director and because of it, put all 4 of us kids through college! Thanks for posting this gem!
I still have the Tupperware cups, bowls and storage containers I bought after I moved into my first apartment in 1985 in all the brown, green, yellow, gold and orange colors shown at 7:05 that was popular in the 70s throughout the 1980s. And 36 years later, my Tupperware pieces are still going strong in the kitchen!
I remember those colors, ha ha. I have my mom's orange storage/juicer container from that era. It will juice up a nice tall glass of fresh orange juice.
I was a Tupperware dealer in the early 70's. I bought the kids sets back then and have passed them on to my daughter, who has passed them on to her children. She also used all of my vintage stock daily. My mother and sisters wanted some of it too, and still use it. However, I am appalled at how much the have raised the prices! Unaffordable for most now.
My mom use to make a coffee cake when she put us to bed...In the morning I would run downstairs hoping to get a slice before I went to school and she would tell me, "don't touch it, that's for my tupperware party, if there's anything left, when u get hm, u can have some."
Brownie Wise was an amazing woman and doesn't get all the credit she deserves. She and Ruth Handler (inventor of Barbie) deserve their very own hall of fame.
I've been to many Tupperware parties, Mom had them a lot in the 70's. I remember one party in 1960 that I went to with Mom and my big sis where a roll of toilet paper was passed around that the ladies took off some. After it made its round each lady was to put what they took around their waste. My big sis won the prize as her piece did go around her waste and then some :-) She was pregnant with her first baby who came a couple of months later :-) I still have Tupperware from the 70's that Mom bought.
Wonderful presentation. Thank you! I am 65, grew up with Tupperware and today look regularly on ebay for ‘vintage Tupperware’, to see what items I can add to my kitchen. Love the vintage pieces...they are durable and still function perfectly.
I love my Tupperware and was a representative in 1977. In one month I had the highest sales for my district ! It was a fun time! Tupperware parties were a blast! Still have some of my first pieces from back in the 70’s!
Oh goodness... we had Tupperware parties, Avon parties, Princess House parties, and Jafra cosmetics parties. The last parties I went to or hosted was PartyLite in the early millenium. 😁
Highly collectible today. All that Mid Century stuff. Believe it or not it was expensive to buy back then. I think my mom went to one party & we had a lettuce crisper & a collider
The older lids are so pliable, even after decades of use. I have a large Wonderlier bowl and marinating containers from my mother that I use regularly.
In my kitchen cabinet, I still have part of a Tupperware lunchbox set my mom got in the late 70s. Always packed it full and sent me off to school with it in the early 80s😁
I grew up in a Tupperware family. An aunt and uncle started with nothing and made a fortune in the company. They had a huge distributorship and warehouse, traveled the world. They were featured in a story about the company in LIFE magazine. All of us used it. I was taught to never have things like flour, meal, rice in the house without storing in it. You never get bugs if you do that. I married in 1973 and still use pieces that I bought at that time. I much prefer the classic white, see through storage pieces of that time and before to the loud colors that came out mid century. I got rid of the colored stuff, but kept all the classic pieces that never clash with anything in your kitchen.
@@danityvanityinsanity what I meant was the large storage pieces for flour and such were originally all white. Lots of the smaller pieces like cereal bowls and drinking glasses were always in pastels. Those bright colors like orange and lime green, in a different texture came later, in the early 70's, I think.
I remember Tupperware from back in the day. I even have a Tupperware set. Now a days you can go to Kroger or any big box stores for plastic containers, where you can freeze and use them in the microwave oven. Do you remember Avon products? When, I worked at Kmart there was a Kmart employee who in the Sporting Goods Department selling Avon products to help her paycheck out. Do you remember the TV commercial, Ding Dong Avon calling, and it's the Avon Lady at the front door. P.S., The containers from the big box and Kroger are also dishwasher safe.
Ah Tupperware! My mother sold Tupperware in the 60s and my hubby and I gave parties in the late 70s and early 80s until I became pregnant with my first child. After we moved to Az we stopped but I was great while it lasted. Still have some of that Tupperware to this day. Great stuff!
I have a bright yellow colander with a handle, it's from 1987 the year my granddaughter was born. Her youngest baby boy loves to play with it. I was a dealer in 1987 and still have the kitchen canisters and few other pieces from the 70s. Don't lend them out cuz you'll never see them again! Save the margarine and ice cream tubs for the neighbor's take outs!
My wife sold Tupperware. Proof is all over my house and several large boxes off it in my storage room. She. Had fun working with the other dealers and having the parties.
I inherited my mother's big green Wonderlier bowl. Growing up, that bowl was used for making mom's unique turkey stuffing and pumpkin bread, which is what I use it for today. 😄
Little known fact Bryant University in Rhode Island is located on land donated by the founder of Tupperware Earl Tupper . A great school for Business. I still have some Tupperware from the 1960s still holds up
I was just about to comment on that having gone to school there. It's a beautiful campus, despite the best efforts of the original late 60s architects.
My Mom used a LOT of Tupperware. Mostly for freezing food/soup/etc. This triggered a memory of another home marketing product...Avon. Our Avon lady drove a pink 3 wheeled tiny car. Since it was so different from anything else it is impossible to forget.
I sold Tupperware in the late 80s and most of the 90s. 1st time was to get product at cost. My sales paid for my purchases. This was on top of my full time day job. In the 90s, I had my son. 1st time since I was 12 I couldn't work. Husband was in the navy. Gone 6 months a year. Daycare was too expensive for me to justify working. So, I needed to earn money because I missed working. And wanted my own money. I started to sell again. Did good too. A real bad car accident in 98 ended my Tupperware career. I just recently downsized and donated boxes of new or newish Tupperware. Only 2 of us. Don't need 10 mixing bowls. Lol
Great memories. In the 70's my mom was a dealer, then manager, which earned her a station wagon. Loved helping her with practice with new pieces & putting her orders together. We always were trying the recipes out.
I so remember as a child seeing the comedy show All in the Family with Actress Charlotte Rae playing a Tupperware Sales Lady in the Bunker residence and she said to Jean Stapleton's Character Mrs. Edith Bunker, " You never forget your wedding day, your first child, and you never forget your first Tupperware party!"!! People were so big on Tupperware parties in the 70s I used to think it was rather comical:)!! And I'm very surprised that with people today buying everything online and living very busy Lifestyles, that in 2021 there are still Tupperware parties going on:)!!!
I went to exactly one Tupperware party my friend held. She'd invited about 25 people and only two showed up...it was SO embarrassing. I was one of the ones that turned up - 'no pressure to buy anything' right ?! LOL
Tupperware parties were really popular among my mother and her friends. I remember she had a Tupperware party at our house once when I was little.We had one of those giant TV-radio-record player consoles, the 8 foot long things, and I was allowed to watch the Tupperware lady set up her display on top of it before the party. It was an exciting thing in the 1970s. She had a ton of the stuff too. I think most of it disappeared over the years, though. She gave a lot of it away, too. But I still have a couple sets of the pastel coasters, a really handy double ended measuring cup, and a thin plastic mat that you roll dough out on, even though I've never rolled dough in my life. Nice memories.
My mother went to a lot of Tupperware parties in the 60s, so we had a lot of it. I still have some of it, and part of my dinner tonight was stored in 70s era Tupperware.
We still have stuff my wife bought in the 1970s. Good as new after nearly 40 years of heavy duty service. Tupperware was/is expensive, but worth every penny. The pandemic has killed the Tupper party!
Without Wise starting the Tupperware home parties, Tupperware might not have become a household staple. An American icon, really. In-home parties let women 'get away with the girls' for the evening -- A big treat for women who didn't work outside the home. Even if Tupperware was a little expensive, getting out and spending time with friends, a lot of women felt a 'practical splurge' on a piece of Tupperware was worth it. Of course 'Tupperware' has become almost synonymous for any plastic food storage container--- Even the classic 'recycled' margarine tubs ;)
@@ojjenkins7110 my Uncle still has his old first GEN Glock 17 till this day and Has had who knows how many rounds are fired through it? It ran like a singer sewing machine the last time we went to the range. LOL pretty good for a gun they used To frown upon and make fun of when it came out!
PBS produced a really good American Experience documentary called “Tupperware!” I rented the DVD from my library, sorta light viewing but worth seeking out.
Did they mention that fact that plastics introduced in the 50s for food containers are primarily responsible for the significant reduction in male sperm - like a 50% reduction?
Tupperware! I still have a couple of dozen or so pieces from my mother that she bought in the 1970s. I bought Tupperware in the late 1980s/ early '90s; unlike the older pieces, the newer lids became brittle and cracked over time. Meanwhile, most of the old pieces, like the Wonderlier, are fine.
We love your channel and never miss a video. Would love to see you do one about the High-Low grocery store chain (Chicago area) featuring Roneys ice cream, and the "10 cent aisle" LOL! We had one in the suburb I lived in and I was a bagger there the summer of 1969 to earn money for college. They had this little lunch stand in the store. The only things they had were (NO 'big' brand names---only their virtually unknown brands) hotdog, bag of chips, can of pop, and a Roney's ice cream cone. Hotdog was 10 cents, pop 10 cents, tiny bag of chips I think was 5 cents and a one scoop cone was 10. Too funny!
I remember my mother's Tupperware parties. I was fascinated by all the gadgets and multi-colored items. Nothing says childhood in the 1970's like Tupperware!
Tupperware Parties. The original side hustle. Brownie Wise. An appropriate name for a businessperson. Other side hustles for the stay at home mom back in the day: Avon and Mary Kay.
My wife still has some Tupperware items from years ago. We now buy Rubbermaid stuff. It's just as good but lots cheaper. And you don't have to go to a party to buy it!
I went to a Tupperware party in 1982, where I lived in San Francisco. We (all women) had snacks and drinks, and we had a good time. I bought a few storage containers, which I used for many years, and one of them, a red, square storage box, lasted until 2018! I treasured my Tupperware.
A lot of pleasant memories.We had several Tupperware things when I was a young child (my favorite was the popsicle-maker set),but when my mom got married when I was 5,we got everything Tupperware! I remember mixing my first cakes and cookie doughs in the colored bowls.The 48 oz. clear cylindrical container was the family's water bottle for 2 decades!
I inherited the first gen of Tupperware from the late 1950s and early 1960s from my mom, but even from my grandma and great aunt because they hated the stuff. They are the pale pastels, nearly clear and still seal perfectly. I still use daily the salt-and-pepper shakers that we used for cross country car trips to see the grands, but we used similar style little cups that had a plain sealed lid without the shaker tops, for holding baking soda we used back then as toothpaste. I wish I still had all the pieces from back then. A dear aunt left me one salad bowl Tupper in school bus yellow with the rippled lid [that lost its seal after a few uses]. Not everything gets better with new models. Abd I still use the glass and Pyrex kitchenware and storage containers from the 1940s and 1950s from my grandma's and mom's kitchens, and glad to use more inert glass rather than toxic plastics so common the past few decades.
I love Tupperware to this day. Still have 2 of the the deviled eggs tray/carrier and a few assorted odds and ends. I miss my canister set(s) and brown 1 gallon pitcher.
I grew up using Tupperware because my mom loved them so much! I’m now a Tupperware consultant and I also sell Avon (my mom sold Avon for years). I get a lot of people who are surprised that both Avon and Tupperware are still around. I always say, “of course we are!” Great video on the history of Tupperware!
The wife and I did a tour of the Tupperware factory here in Florida, happy to report there was a special exhibit respectfully honoring Brownie Wise (May 25, 1913 - September 24, 1992).
My mother didn’t sell them, but she did buy a set in the early 1970s. I remember the beautiful vibrant colors that filled the refrigerator; red, yellow, pink, and don’t you dare touch them! 😂
Mom would have Tupperware parties and I would get the plastic blocks with the little toys inside fast forward and when I was older I would get the key chain bowls to put my buds in they’d hold about a gram love Tupperware
I was borne in 1958. My Mother use to have Tupperware parties when I was a kid. She always home made the cakes and snacks that were served. She served Coffe, iced Tea or in the summer times fresh Lemon Aid. When the Ladies were done us kids got to have what was left. Good times.
I remember my mother held a couple Tupperware parties in our house , and I had two cousins who were being paid by Tupperware , they sold so much Tupperware for the company that they even gave both of them cars , I remember they were station wagons, light blue with the company logo Tupperware on each side of the front doors , not real large but you knew it was a Tupperware vehicle , I don't know how much Tupperware you needed to sell to get a car but I remember both of them were really into it . My wife still has Tupperware from the 60s and 70s we use to this day , it's truly a great product.
My wife and I still use some pieces my mom had bought in the early 70’s. Tough stuff. Just don’t put it in the dishwasher. Sure fire way to get scolded. The lids never fit right after that!
"There's definitely more to this backstory of someone being fired, it would have made for a good motion picture"! Even today I still love these products especially the cups "TUMBLERS"!
Credit again for the people who researched and organized the History of how this Company was started a grew to become a household Name in America. Narrators knowledge of the product really came through.
I’m 55 and I remember Tupperware party’s....and they were cheap and you had to burp them..to get the air out. Colorful and infinite variety and sizes. Mostly I remember telling my girlfriend that they should have...”Tupperware Underwear”.......Look I’ll burp it myself!
Spaghetti stains was the only thing....on the clear ones. But that was because of microwaves. So...the two helped and hurt each other. Since TV dinners were foil. So...they had to switch to plastic. But in the meantime...you could nuke it in Tupperware.
I learned far too late that to avoid red sauce stains in Tupperware (or any plasticware), you could rub a little cooking oil on the insides of the container and the lid. It seems to work okay.
I was a kid in the 70's and my mom did Tupperware parties. I remember having the Shape-O toy that was a odd shaped ball with different shaped holes in it. And there was yellow plastic shapes to fit in the holes. If I recall correctly they also had a toy that was a funnel shaped ball catcher with a bulb at the bottom you slammed to launch the ball and you caught it in the funnel.
Back in 1975, my roommate and I hosted a Tupperware party. We did very well for a couple of dude’s. Our secret was to serve beer and wine.
Yes, drinking lowers impulse control so it's easy to buy stuff. Great idea.
It worked on me.
My Mom did too. In 1965 I would guess. Me and my Sister used to hide under the table and steal sips of wine and handfuls of Chex party mix.
@@traceytrotter9934 Mmmm ... homemade 60s recipe Chex party mix, love that stuff! I still make it every year for the holidays in memory of my mom. The stuff in the store today doesn't even come close.
Interesting, since Tupperware was a "dry" company.
The Tupper ware colors of the 1960s and 1970s were great.... Orange, green, yellow.
I don’t like those colors. I prefer 50s kind. I also prefer 40s and 50s Pyrex!
Was brown Tupperware also from the 60s and 70s? We had yellow, orange, green, and brown Tupperware in the 80s when I was a kid.
Yes!!!!!! 🧡💛💚🤎

I use them at night to fall asleep!
I doze off with a smile on my face
It's the music
Didnt everyone have a Tupperware party in the 70s?I loved the childrens toys too!I havent heard of a party in a decade but saw a display at the fair.

Highly collectible today. All that Mid Century stuff. Believe it or not it was expensive to buy back then. I think my mom went to one party & we had a lettuce crisper & a collider
Mid-century Pyrex is also highly collectible.
The older lids are so pliable, even after decades of use. I have a large Wonderlier bowl and marinating containers from my mother that I use regularly.
It's expensive now. There's a flea market stall here where they charge $40 for a Tupperware bowl that would be $4 at Walmart.

It was an exciting thing in the 1970s.
She had a ton of the stuff too. I think most of it disappeared over the years, though. She gave a lot of it away, too. But I still have a couple sets of the pastel coasters, a really handy double ended measuring cup, and a thin plastic mat that you roll dough out on, even though I've never rolled dough in my life. Nice memories.
I loved the largest bowl they had.
My mother went to a lot of Tupperware parties in the 60s, so we had a lot of it. I still have some of it, and part of my dinner tonight was stored in 70s era Tupperware.
As a kid Tupper ware was very cool, I thought. Different colors and sizes. My mom or grandmother always had cookies in them. Mark in Milwaukee 🧀🍻
We still have stuff my wife bought in the 1970s. Good as new after nearly 40 years of heavy duty service. Tupperware was/is expensive, but worth every penny. The pandemic has killed the Tupper party!
Without Wise starting the Tupperware home parties, Tupperware might not have become a household staple. An American icon, really.
In-home parties let women 'get away with the girls' for the evening -- A big treat for women who didn't work outside the home. Even if Tupperware was a little expensive, getting out and spending time with friends, a lot of women felt a 'practical splurge' on a piece of Tupperware was worth it.
Of course 'Tupperware' has become almost synonymous for any plastic food storage container--- Even the classic 'recycled' margarine tubs ;)
When the Glock 17 came out they became known as Tupperware guns :-) btw I know a girl with the name of Nia you are the 2nd one :-)
The evening parties were most common when I was growing up, but sometimes they were held around ten a.m. for a coffee time party.
No no no! The recycled margarine tubs are called “Italian Tupperware” for those of us who didn’t want to splurge on the real thing, LOL.
@@ojjenkins7110 my Uncle still has his old first GEN Glock 17 till this day and Has had who knows how many rounds are fired through it? It ran like a singer sewing machine the last time we went to the range. LOL pretty good for a gun they used To frown upon and make fun of when it came out!
I was 14yo when I went to my first Tupperware Party. I enjoyed your video and subscribed to your Channel. Thank You! 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
PBS produced a really good American Experience documentary called “Tupperware!” I rented the DVD from my library, sorta light viewing but worth seeking out.
I saw that on TV once and I enjoyed it 😁
He kicked Brownie to the curb and she became a recluse-a total tragedy and betrayal of the person who made your product world famous.
Did they mention that fact that plastics introduced in the 50s for food containers are primarily responsible for the significant reduction in male sperm - like a 50% reduction?
Tupperware! I still have a couple of dozen or so pieces from my mother that she bought in the 1970s. I bought Tupperware in the late 1980s/ early '90s; unlike the older pieces, the newer lids became brittle and cracked over time. Meanwhile, most of the old pieces, like the Wonderlier, are fine.
This is what I've been waiting for!!!!! 🥳
We love your channel and never miss a video. Would love to see you do one about the High-Low grocery store chain (Chicago area) featuring Roneys ice cream, and the "10 cent aisle" LOL! We had one in the suburb I lived in and I was a bagger there the summer of 1969 to earn money for college. They had this little lunch stand in the store. The only things they had were (NO 'big' brand names---only their virtually unknown brands) hotdog, bag of chips, can of pop, and a Roney's ice cream cone. Hotdog was 10 cents, pop 10 cents, tiny bag of chips I think was 5 cents and a one scoop cone was 10. Too funny!
I did not know it went back to the 40s. I thought it was a 70s thing. I feel sorry for Brownie Wise.
I remember my mother's Tupperware parties. I was fascinated by all the gadgets and multi-colored items. Nothing says childhood in the 1970's like Tupperware!
Tupperware Parties. The original side hustle.
Brownie Wise. An appropriate name for a businessperson.
Other side hustles for the stay at home mom back in the day: Avon and Mary Kay.
I would get so excited as a little girl when the Avon lady stopped by to see my mom. I loved looking at her samples.
We went to Avon and Mary Kay parties. I liked Jafra the best because the colors were better suited for olive skin.
You’re not a happy person, are you? Probably hate AMWAY, too!
My wife still has some Tupperware items from years ago. We now buy Rubbermaid stuff. It's just as good but lots cheaper. And you don't have to go to a party to buy it!
I went to a Tupperware party in 1982, where I lived in San Francisco. We (all women) had snacks and drinks, and we had a good time. I bought a few storage containers, which I used for many years, and one of them, a red, square storage box, lasted until 2018! I treasured my Tupperware.
I certainly remember Tupperware parties .
A lot of pleasant memories.We had several Tupperware things when I was a young child (my favorite was the popsicle-maker set),but when my mom got married when I was 5,we got everything Tupperware! I remember mixing my first cakes and cookie doughs in the colored bowls.The 48 oz. clear cylindrical container was the family's water bottle for 2 decades!
I remember those Tupperware parties I went to a few of them back in the day fun memories thank you soooo much for this video.😘😊
I inherited the first gen of Tupperware from the late 1950s and early 1960s from my mom, but even from my grandma and great aunt because they hated the stuff. They are the pale pastels, nearly clear and still seal perfectly. I still use daily the salt-and-pepper shakers that we used for cross country car trips to see the grands, but we used similar style little cups that had a plain sealed lid without the shaker tops, for holding baking soda we used back then as toothpaste. I wish I still had all the pieces from back then. A dear aunt left me one salad bowl Tupper in school bus yellow with the rippled lid [that lost its seal after a few uses]. Not everything gets better with new models. Abd I still use the glass and Pyrex kitchenware and storage containers from the 1940s and 1950s from my grandma's and mom's kitchens, and glad to use more inert glass rather than toxic plastics so common the past few decades.

@@juliemarchese-temple7749 If you're going to throw Princess House in the ring, you might as well add Pampered Chef.🙃😛
I remember my mom having and going to Tupperware Parties. My favorite was the homemade popsicle makers
I love Tupperware to this day. Still have 2 of the the deviled eggs tray/carrier and a few assorted odds and ends. I miss my canister set(s) and brown 1 gallon pitcher.
Tupperware and Avon were a big deal back in the day . Use to love the colored glasses.
I bought a more modern set of tupperware from one of my employees back in 07 and it is still in perfect condition. The lids fit incredibly tight.
Shooot I need some Tupperware!
I grew up using Tupperware because my mom loved them so much! I’m now a Tupperware consultant and I also sell Avon (my mom sold Avon for years). I get a lot of people who are surprised that both Avon and Tupperware are still around. I always say, “of course we are!” Great video on the history of Tupperware!
The wife and I did a tour of the Tupperware factory here in Florida, happy to report there was a special exhibit respectfully honoring Brownie Wise (May 25, 1913 - September 24, 1992).
My mother didn’t sell them, but she did buy a set in the early 1970s. I remember the beautiful vibrant colors that filled the refrigerator; red, yellow, pink, and don’t you dare touch them! 😂
Another amazing short film about America's Eisenhower years. 🇺🇲
Wow, Mr. Tupper had some amazing inventions. It would have been cool to see if his drip-free ice cream cones would have been successful.
Mom would have Tupperware parties and I would get the plastic blocks with the little toys inside fast forward and when I was older I would get the key chain bowls to put my buds in they’d hold about a gram love Tupperware
I was borne in 1958. My Mother use to have Tupperware parties when I was a kid. She always home made the cakes and snacks that were served. She served Coffe, iced Tea or in the summer times fresh Lemon Aid. When the Ladies were done us kids got to have what was left. Good times.
I remember my mother held a couple Tupperware parties in our house , and I had two cousins who were being paid by Tupperware , they sold so much Tupperware for the company that they even gave both of them cars , I remember they were station wagons, light blue with the company logo Tupperware on each side of the front doors , not real large but you knew it was a Tupperware vehicle , I don't know how much Tupperware you needed to sell to get a car but I remember both of them were really into it .
My wife still has Tupperware from the 60s and 70s we use to this day , it's truly a great product.
Mom used to have Tupperware parties and her friends also. Good sturdy products!
My wife and I still use some pieces my mom had bought in the early 70’s. Tough stuff. Just don’t put it in the dishwasher. Sure fire way to get scolded. The lids never fit right after that!
WOW! I didn't think those parties still existed
Who remembers attending Tupperware parties in someone’s kitchen? I always ended up buying something.
"There's definitely more to this backstory of someone being fired, it would have made for a good motion picture"! Even today I still love these products especially the cups "TUMBLERS"!
Credit again for the people who researched and organized the History of how this Company was started a grew to become a household Name in America. Narrators knowledge of the product really came through.
Had my last Tupperware Party about 7 years ago. My friends & I had the best time. I didn't know that you could order on line. Hooray!!
I’m 55 and I remember Tupperware party’s....and they were cheap and you had to burp them..to get the air out. Colorful and infinite variety and sizes. Mostly I remember telling my girlfriend that they should have...”Tupperware Underwear”.......Look I’ll burp it myself!
Spaghetti stains was the only thing....on the clear ones. But that was because of microwaves. So...the two helped and hurt each other. Since TV dinners were foil. So...they had to switch to plastic. But in the meantime...you could nuke it in Tupperware.
I learned far too late that to avoid red sauce stains in Tupperware (or any plasticware), you could rub a little cooking oil on the insides of the container and the lid. It seems to work okay.
Incredible videos. Loved this one a lot. Thanks.
My mother used to have parties when I was kid so we had lots of Tupperware.
I was a kid in the 70's and my mom did Tupperware parties. I remember having the Shape-O toy that was a odd shaped ball with different shaped holes in it. And there was yellow plastic shapes to fit in the holes. If I recall correctly they also had a toy that was a funnel shaped ball catcher with a bulb at the bottom you slammed to launch the ball and you caught it in the funnel.
