Tupperware might go out of business

[Oyeve]

We have a metric shit-ton of pyrex leftover containers. Like 25+ containers in various size/shapes.

Is it PYREX or is it pyrex? PYREX is the real good stuff, pyrex is the cheaper glass stuff.

I always liked how Tupperware always smelled like Dish soap or some Food, Tomato soup or Kool Aid usually. Liquids often tasted like the smell or like plastic, yum. The Cancer is probably growing.

Borosilicate glass vs the other type. You can still get the “good” stuff from Europe.

I forget which way around it is, but one type is better at handling impact damage and the other is better at not exploding when you take a 400F pan out of an oven and set it in a puddle of cold water. We get one kind Europeans get the other. Dunno why. Corporate logic.

I guess tupperware parties are no longer going to be a thing. Maybe pyrex parties could be a thing? That just sounds like a fancy name for a meth lab though.

What makes tupperware cool is you can drop it, and it isn't a huge disaster. You can also fill your fridge with a banquet of leftovers, and not need extra floor support from the weight of pyrex containers. Pyrex has it's place, but general storage isn't what it's best at.

I like Pyrex - or in my case Anchor-Hocking - because I can take it out of the fridge or freezer, microwave it (without the plastic lid), and not worry that any plastic chemicals are leaching into my food. I wouldn't worry about Tupperware with room-temperature or colder food, but I don't need containers for that so often.

I have quite a few Anchor-hocking bowls myself, Canadian Tire sells them in packs of 3. Great for meal prepping.
