Message:: [QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 496630, member: 136"]When I was growing up, I had a great-aunt whose best friend had a go at selling  just about everything you could sell from home: Avon, Sarah Coventry, Tupperware, etc. I was often the recipient of whatever her friend happened to be  selling at the time. In the late 1970's, when I got engaged, Great Anne A started buying me Tupperware. (I had been living on my own for a while, but apparently MARRIAGE warranted Tupperware.) Over the years, I accumulated a ton of Wonderlier bowls, in sizes from small to extravagantly large. I used some of them, but I always found them cumbersome: round, tippy, and hard to stack in the refrigerator. The lids seemed to discolor, turning a cloudy yellow, and sometimes they no longer sealed tightly on the bowls. When I discovered square and rectangular storage containers, I left the round bowls stacked in a huge drawer. There they remained, out of sight and out of mind. When we downsized the first time, the Tupperware had to go. I gave it to Habitat for Humanity. It was apparently a good seller for them, as the next time I dropped off a donation, the store manager asked if I might have any more of it. I don't know why anyone wanted it, but obviously, someone did. Personally, I don't think it's worth hanging on to - or trying to sell - but that's just me.[/QUOTE]
