Meanwhile… Farewell, Tupperware | Mini Britney Spears | Missing Cat Travels 1,000 Miles

[@heartofdawn2341]

The most unbelievable part of the Tupperware story is Stephen having complete matching sets of bottoms and lids.

[@tlouiseallen9302]

Right!? 😂

[@SpartacusSPQ]

Doesn’t everyone? Or is it me with an obsessive personality? Oh…

[@robo5013]

Scientists recently conducted an experiment where they locked a dozen matching sets of tupperware in a box then opened the box one month later. They discovered that the box contained three bottoms and fifteen lids. None of the lids matched the bottoms.

When I was a kid my mother did Tupperware parties. For a now late middle aged man I have an unusual amount of knowledge about Tupperware ca. 1977-82 b/c if there was no babysitter, she would just take me along. The news of their bankruptcy upsets me more than it should.

[@Rain9Quinn]

[@Queina1]

My mom was a Tupperware queen. She did really well, went to the jamborees and all that, and our kitchen was full of the stuff. When I moved out at 18, she gave me some she still had, it was almost 2 decades old but that stuff lasts forever. I'm now 52 and I STILL have some of it.

[@krist_714]

All animals want to live.

[@bwenluck9812]

​​@@heatherlarson8742 Well, Heather, most beef is headed for the same fate, and it usually *isn't* a sanctuary....

[@heatherlarson8742]

@@bwenluck9812 so most male bovines are castrated at 4-6 months old before they hit full puberty as it effects the meat quality and then around 2 years old the steers (fixed males) are sold for human consumption meat. Competing in the rodeo actually extends the life of these animals by 5-10 years, longer if they are used for breeding purposes. And these bulls were not looking for “freedom” so much as the instinct of their species is to eat or reproduce so they are looking a nice patch of grass or a cow. Lastly, sick animals can’t do the things they need them to do for a rodeo; these animals are generally treated well, they maintain healthy weights and get vet care regularly as some are worth tens of thousands of dollars.

One stayed free for a day or so. Bet he could have made it if he hadn’t found those cows. 🐄🐄🐂🚓

Oh Tupperware. How well I remember you. All of my childhood in the 1970s was spent dodging your tea glasses with the white rim that I dodged every day from my Father. Never did one break. In fact, after his passing a decade ago, and my Mother 2, I've inherited the entire collection. You made a product that lasts, and America has changed, to every product you buy today is designed to fail, then sold at a reduced price so you can't help but buy the first one. Getting US in the disposable cycle of buying. Your era will be missed the short while the few of US left still take breath. ❤

[@Rain9Quinn]

No worries-not going out of business just Chapter 11 to get out of paying back debt…😅

[@evelynreynolds1447]

I watched a TV program about King Gillette, who, with a partner, invented disposable razor blades. When he first started out, he was a door-to-door salesman and failed miserably. A fellow salesman advised him to come up with something that customers would use that was disposable and needed to be replaced on a regular basis. This man said anyone who did this would be rich. The problem with Tupperware is that it lasts a long time. Thus, once someone buys it, they don’t need to buy it again. A bunch of money is made at the beginning but there are few repeat customers.

​@@glenncordova4027same

[@OrpheusSonOfCalliope]

1. It's not like every tree is going to have a cat stuck in it. 2. Most cats do manage to get down. 3. If a cat did die in a tree, wind and rain would eventually knock it off the tree. 4. If the cat got stuck, it would be really high up. Have you checked every high branch in every high tree?

[@samuela-aegisdottir]

@@glenncordova4027 Maybe it was a wild cat and lived there and died of natural causes? Tree holes are where wild cat have their home. I cannot imagine a cat not being able to climb up through a tree hole, cats are evolutionaly designed to climb trees, they have sharp claws that help them climb wood.
