Stock up on your plastic kitchenware now, because Tupperware Brands is preparing to file for bankruptcy as soon as this week, according to people with knowledge of the plans, following a years-long effort to revive the business amid waning demand.

I never liked Tupperware. There is only one piece that they made that I liked and I finally bought it this past spring at a yard sale.

I remember mid 20th Century when Tupperware was only sold in the home through "Tupperware parties". This set off a trend and mid-century housewives would have what were called "demonstrations" in their homes for all kinds of products from makeup to housewares. A "hostess", usually someone the woman who's home the demonstration was in knew, would come with all the products and receive a commission for what was sold. Then everybody would have coffee, pastries etc. Sort of a sit down version of Avon. It was quite a part of the social life of mid-century housewives.

Carlos sold Tupperware in the '70s. He had a lot of women flocking to his parties. His first wife was a bit jealous that his parties were bigger than hers.
