Irish Examiner view: The party could be over for Tupperware

The iconic food container firm had received a boost at the height of the pandemic but has slumped again

The innovative snap-lock lidded food container also introduced a sales technique that was just as novel — 'parties' where agents sold Tupperware to their peers. 

It might be difficult to envisage now, but there was a time in Ireland when Tupperware was cutting-edge technology, a product so new-fangled there were ‘Tupperware parties’ hosted in people’s homes, at which the product was demonstrated and sold.

Sad to report, then, that Tupperware is now pursuing investors to keep it afloat and is in danger of being delisted by the New York Stock Exchange.
