Do you ever feel like your plastic Tupperware is taking over your cupboard?? Tupperware and I have had lifelong enmity– it should’ve been right there in Genesis: “And there will be enmity between you, Tupperware and the woman”. I know my mom felt this way, because she always paid me 50 cents to organize her Tupperware drawer, probably because she couldn’t stand to look at it.
For me, unorganized and scattered Tupperware is the EPITOME of futility. Here, you have all these containers that could be OH SO HELPFUL! if only you could find the right lid! And if you can’t find the right lid, it’s absolutely pointless to use one. And in order to FIND the right lid, you spend 10 minutes searching, which essentially eliminates the practical aspect! And for some reason, every time you unload the dishwasher, the top is NEVER with the bottom, so you end up helpless, throwing them in to the ever growing mountain-slide of Tupperware taking over your cabinet. You can’t put the lids ON to store them, because they won’t stack, but you can’t stack them, because THEY’RE ALL DIFFERENT sizes! For convenience sake! It’s like Weight-Watchers meets Russian nesting dolls. Good grief.
Does anyone else feel this way? I tell you, whenever I think about my Tupperware cabinet, it makes me want to give up and eat a bucket of icecream. Anyone want to earn 50 cents?
