5. Lips that touch Tupperware shall never touch mine. It's some of the most vile, nasty, greasy...

...disgusting petroleum product ever made.
I loathe it.

7. I have a huge green tupperware bowl with lid.

It has been in my cupboard for many years. I am told that I could sell it on eBay for big bucks.

8. You could aso burn it up for peace of mind

[murielm99]

9. Nah.

I use it from time to time.

A bowl is a bowl.

11. Thousands and thousands and thousands of pieces of tupperware and its nasty cheap relations

have passed through my hands on the way to the trash heap.

For some reason I find that hoarders really HOARD this stuff. WTF? Seriously what is it with clutterers and 'collectors' that they can't pass up a plastic tub even if it doesn't have a lid?

I had one guy that had 'saved' over 200 margarine tubs because he thought 'he could use them and he hated to waste them'. He'd never ever re-used a single one.

I also hate HOW EFFING MUCH room they take up in a perfectly good cupboard, and then when you DO finally pull that one out to use, the rest come raining down on your head.

The next president I vote for better ban these things or else I'm going to stamp my foot really really hard!

12. I try to find nesting and collapsible containers only now.

I've bought a fair number of good containers from reuseit.com and recommend them. The link is for the "food storage and produce savers section"
