Hands up to those who have not heard of Tupperware? Unlikely that you haven't heard of it. My mom has some, my mother-in-law owns some, my aunties surely got some, and your neighbour or neighbour's mom got some too in their cupboard. When they say it's a household name, this product fits description to a T!
The time has come that I think it's my turn now to have my very own Tupperware, because I'm now in that age group that talks about Tupperware. We won't be laughed at or given a strange look if you mention it. Shortly after I got married, I got invited to a Tupperware party, and then soon after I had kids I also saw those catalogues lying around in places where moms & kids hang out (playgroups, daycares, clinics). Now my friends who have kids are inviting me to Tupperware parties too.
The tupperware I remember using (and playing with) were those of mustard yellow, beige or apple green in colour. They were actually horrible and truly looked from the disco era.
These are now replaced by colourful, microwable, oven-safe modern plastics (mind you, they extend now to non-plastic wares like cooking pans, knives, can openers and other kitchen gadgets) - cool!
You can arrange your tupperware party to suit an occasion, like bridal shower, fundraising or it can be simply a small gathering at home (apparently even with alcoholic slushiesor Tequila pouring). Never in my wildest dreams I imagined myself hosting one, but I suprisingly did this time. The opportunity was there, and I just needed an excuse for some "Jen-time" at home with the gals, so why not do it?!?! I also liked the idea of putting up a cooking demonstration (quiche), so that's probably another reason why I did it (Too bad, I didn't run the demo - i should've! Always wanted to pretend to be Nigella - Ha! tsk tsk!)
Party was a success, and it was good to catch up with a small group of close friends to complete my party. Many thanks to all who came! I had fun! Now, hands up those who have kids that speak of Tupperware!
