Tupperware has a fascinating history.
The company was founded by a man named Mr. Tupper. The year
was 1942. Mr. Tupper began manufacturing plastic
containers. His inspiration for the famous Tupperware seal
came from the lids of paint cans.
In 1946, Mr. Tupper introduced Tupper Plastics. The company
began with 2 products, the Bell Tumbler and the Wonderlier
bowl.
Brownie Wise was given a set of Tupperware products and
loved them. She then began brainstorming and wrote to Mr.
Tupper asking for permission to sell his products via
direct sales/home parties. Mr. Tupper said yes, although he
had no idea what she was going to be doing.
In 1951, Tupperware was officially pulled from retail
stores and Brownie Wise was hired as Vice President and
General Manager for the new Tupperware Home Parties.
In 1997 a survey by HFN Magazine ranked the Tupperware
brand the third most recognized name in home furnishings in
the United States, and in 2005 the same magazine ranked
Tupperware the most recognizable name in the food storage
category in the United States.
In 2001, Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum awarded
Tupperware the "National Design Award for Corporate
Achievement" in recognition of its outstanding design.
Tupperware remains the standard in food storage.
