I first went to a Tupperware party probably about 20 years ago. My mum and grandma were both fans of the storage items and I guess that rubbed off on me too as I believe they are the best storage containers you can buy.

According to an article I read, Tupperware is the name of a home products line that includes preparation, storage, containment, and serving products for the kitchen and home, which were first introduced to the public in 1946.

Tupperware develops, manufactures, and internationally distributes its products by as a wholly owned subsidiary of its parent companyTupperware Brands Corporation and it is marketed by means of direct sales through an independent sales force of approximately 1.9 million consultants.

I own so much Tupperware its silly but it really is such a great quality product. All the lids are interchangeable so as long as the container beneath is the same size you can use the different lids. The lids have a little press circle in the middle of them which once the lid is applied gives the container an airtight close to them which is a really nice advantage of these containers. I keep meats and cheese in them in the fridge and to have the airtight feature is great because the food really does stay fresher for longer. When you open one of the containers you really have to pull up at the side as you feel the air releasing from the container.

Now, in America I believe Tupperware still have a life time guarantee. In England Tupperware have a 10 year guarantee which for a plastic container is really a great advantage and to be honest I don't think I have ever needed to send something back. What I like about Tupperware is that the lids never bend or get out of shape like some other plastic container lids do.

Best tupperware items I own:

A grapefruit container which is shaped like half a grapefruit so you can store the other half of a cut grapefruit for breakfast the next day, a very handy but very simple idea.

Cake container which has a solid base with side handles and then plastic cover which gives you a lot of room so you can make site a high cake and not have to worry about the icing rubbing off on the top of the container.

A small little pill box which has a keyring attachment to it. The pill box is round and has a plastic lid not he top and is perfect for carrying around extra paracetamol, etc.
