Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Tidbit: When Earl Tupper's landscaping company went out of business during the Great Depression, he luckily found work in a plastics factory. Always the closet inventor, he bought a few of the company's molding machines and began tinkering at home, refining his process for using leftover polyethylene slag. The first true commercial iteration of Tupperware came about after WWII, when DuPont asked Earl Tupper to explore peacetime uses for their plastic. In 1946 Tucker came up with “airtight, burping, semi-vacuum seal seals”. However, consumers didn't understand the design of the lids (a fact that baffles us now), so no one was buying Tupperware at the store. Enter: Tupperware parties. The first Tupperware party was held in 1949 by Brownie Wise, a single mom in Detroit. She came to Tupper with the idea of holding events where people could show their friends how Tupperware worked. By 1951, the concept was so successful that Tupper decided to pull the product from stores and sell exclusively through parties. Today, across the globe, a Tupperware party is held every 1.4 seconds. Over 500,000 Tupperware parties are held each year in France alone.
