Is Another Part Of Our Childhood Going The Way Of The Dodo Bird?

Tupperware . . . one of America’s most iconic brands . . . is going bankrupt after 78 years. They’ve been struggling for years due to falling demand and competition from off-brands. The good news is it’s a debt-restructuring thing, so Tupperware isn’t going away completely. But it WILL be the end of an era, because it won’t be “American-made” soon. In June they announced they’d be closing their last U.S. factory and laying off 148 workers. A factory in Mexico is taking over production next year. The once-popular line of food-storage containers was launched in 1946 by a guy named Earl Tupper.
