Is Tupperware Still A Thing?

On this episode of The Soul Food Pod, host Shaunda Necole discusses Tupperware with her mom, Mama Mary (Ma-Ma), a Tupperware brand enthusiast. Ma-Ma explains more about the uniqueness of these plastic food storage containers that have been household staples for generations.

Listeners learn that Tupperware is a 77-year-old company struggling to adapt to modern marketing strategies. Shaunda explores the reasons for its decline in popularity, from lackluster social media marketing to its association with only Baby Boomers.

However, Shaunda and her mom argue that Tupperware still has value and encourages listeners to start a Tupperware collection.

She also shares ideas for hosting Tupperware parties and highlights some of the most valuable vintage Tupperware products. Finally, the podcast suggests that Tupperware should partner with Pinterest to host online "Pinterest parties" as the new Tupperware parties to appeal to younger generations!
