Every millennial or Gen Z has a story to tell about being scolded or beaten for losing their mothers Tupperware, that goes to show how many households in Mzansi have the product.
Tupperware, the company, has filed for bankruptcy. Tupperware Brands Corporation, the iconic global brand, announced on Tuesday that it had voluntarily initiated Chapter 11 proceedings in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.
The much-loved container has remained a household staple for many decades in South Africa since it was introduced in 1964 as many mothers have either two, more or the entire set of Tupperware container sets hiding in their kitchen cupboards.
The brand has been known for its quality, its different designs as well as the different storage sizes, be it the containers or the bottles.
Last year, Tupperware saw a dramatic decline in sales and IOL reported that it was on the brink of its closure.
