one of the only times it seems a company is actually in decline instead of it being private equity? maybe people don't have leftovers anymore cause they can't afford to make that much food at once, I dunno

CNN (@cnn.com):

Tupperware, known the world over for its plastic food storage containers, has filed for bankruptcy after years of falling popularity and financial troubles.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

They rose to prominence by the MLM / home party / independent distributor model, when housewives would host parties. That was their distinguishing feature - that, and the durability of their wares.

Now they've been fast followed on those by dozens of others, & no one but the rich host parties, now

yeah def see it as a matter of being beaten at their own game, there are so many containers available for cheaper that are totally fine (until you put spaghetti sauce in them once)
