  1. It was invented in the 1940's by a man named Earl Tupper (from New Hampshire).

  2. Tupperware was developed in 1946 by Earl Silas Tupper (1907-1983) in the USA. He developed plastic containers used in households to contain food and keep it airtight. The formerly patented "burping seal" is a famous aspect of Tupperware, which distinguished it from competitors.

    Tupperware spread to Europe in 1960 when Mila Pond hosted a Tupperware party in Weybridge, England, and subsequently round the world. In 2003, Tupperware closed down operations in the UK, but relaunched in 2005.

    Tupperware is now sold in almost 100 countries in the world. The top ten consumers of Tupperware are:

    Germany

    France

    USA

    Mexico

    Russia

    Australia/New Zealand

    Italy

    Austria

    South Africa

    Japan

  3. In official Tupperware history you don't find any mention of Brownie Wise, the brains behind the home party plan idea.

    The story of Earl Tupper and Brownie Wise.

    Tupper, the conservative New Englander who worked for DuPont, created Tupperware in 1942. Tupper believed that Tupperware would improve women's lives -- no more spills or odors in the refrigerator, no more wasted leftovers.

    But for years, Americans were not impressed with plastics or Tupper's containers. Tupperware sat on store shelves.

    Enter Wise. A middle-age housewife and impoverished single mom, Wise sold Tupperware door-to-door. Tupper was amazed by her numbers. Tupper wanted to know her secret. Wise confessed: the Tupperware home party.

    Tupper pulled his entire product line from all retail outlets. In 1951, the Tupperware party became the company's exclusive form of distribution and sales. By the mid-1950s, the Tupperware party became a regular occurrence throughout America, and sales boomed.

    Friction grew between the reclusive Tupper and the flamboyant Wise. He fired her in the late 1950s, but the corporation continued to flourish.

    Today, a Tupperware party is held every 2.5 seconds, sales top $1.2 billion worldwide, and Tupperware has become a symbol for the American way of life.
