[edit] Reads Like advertisment for tupperware

Some sections read like an advertisent for the company. More neutral words might enhance the article. --SAUNDERS 23:08, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah!
I concur; to describe products as "brilliantly effective", "elegant" and "revolutionary" in an encyclopedia article doesn't seem appropriate at all. 74.100.144.76 15:35, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
I agree. Is it really necessary to include the product names in this article. I think a more general description of Tupperware products would be sufficient. The whole section titled "Tupperware Ranges" could be removed in my opinion. Petska 19:14, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
Isn't it more about the fact that the ranges have country-specific names? Buyt I think you are probably right 138.37.26.252 12:37, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
YES, its missing information about the chemical make up of tupperware, contreversy such as agents misinforming potentical customers by making inaccurate claims about competitive products, etc. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.114.160.60 (talk) 23:09, 5 May 2007 (UTC).
Removed excessively laudatory adjectives from descriptions. User:Pedant (talk) 22:38, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

It would sweet if someone could track down some images, some of the Tupperware products are kind of iconic. maxcap

[edit] Type of plastic?

I have not been able to find Tupperware products in local stores, although there are plenty of Rubbermaid and Sterilite plastic container products available in stores. Does anybody know whether Tupperware products are made of polypropylene or high density polyethylene or polypropylene bottoms with polyethylene lids? H Padleckas 22:30, 2 August 2006 (UTC).

Hi, Tupperware is most likely made out of Hard Polypropylene. Tupperware is a very old household brand though, nowdays many manufacturers have designed better products that is ergonomically superior and easy to use and airtight, ensuring both dry and liquid foods maintain its freshness...
If your really interested to get your hands on some Tupperware, you should consult a party planner of seom sort or go down to the local mall or shops and speak with the ladies, whom may be able to direct you accordingly.
Other manugacturers for your information are;
Decor, Click Clack, Lock & Lock, Smash, Vantage, Klip IT, Quandrant,
Kind regards,

Tupperware is marketed exclusively through its distributorships, which are prohibited from selling to retailers. User:Pedant (talk) 22:14, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Distributors caught selling to retailers have their Tupperware distributorships revoked. User:Pedant (talk) 22:40, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] UK info

Why was the info about Tupperware in the UK removed? 82.5.179.28 14:16, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect Internet Information - Removed

The section about Tupperware and the Internet was outdated and not historically interesting or significant. Tupperware is now very active on the internet, with a rich public site and allows their consultants/distributors are now even allowed to advertise on the internet and use services like Google Adwords.

[edit] Multi-level marketing?

How exactly is Tupperware multi-level marketing? Every company with a large salesforce will have salespeople at the bottom, managers over them, and distributors at the top level. There's no description of recruiting of salespeople by salespeople, or any of the other things which distinguish MLM from other forms of direct selling.

Calling Tupperware's distribution model "multi-level marketing" also needs to be well-sourced, as it is potentially derogatory information, given the well-deserved poor reputation of MLM. Argyriou (talk) 17:55, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] copyvio

I'm removing:

"Dixie's Tupperware Party, a unique hybrid of improv, drag show, social satire and Tupperware party — complete with lids that burp — has toured the US for the last several years. Dixie Longate, a character created by actor Kris Andersson, has appeared in popular engagements of the show on both Coasts. The naughty theatrical experience mixes interactive sales-pitch with a genuine Tupperware sale. For the past several years, Dixie has dominated the awards ceremonies at Jubilee, the National Tupperware Convention, held yearly during the late summer""
