I’m aware of qtip kleenex aspect of it but since tupperware became the name of food grade plastic containers I just kinda assumed that they would be a mildly respectable brand.
Nope, they are pretty much as bad as the rest of them. I think like 96-97% of their salespeople make basically no money. That was their whole shtick back in the 50s of recruiting housewives as salespeople, you see it in a lot of period dramas and the like.
I know a few countries they operate normal stores because local laws prevent them from doing their whole tupperware party thing, like China. I have heard they are moving more away from that model in other countries too, but I have no idea how true that actually is.
I don’t think the actual product is necessarily bad as far as I am aware, but they still have scummy sales practices.
I barely see actual Tupperware containers today, except for a couple of plastic bottles. It’s crazy how a glorified piece of plastic (the brand I mean) had such a market, while nowadays all supermarkets sell their own store brand, sometimes made of glass (so actually decent).

They’re doing some direct sales in target now, cutting out some of the mlm-ness in the states

I think everything we have is Rubbermaid for the most part.
