Tupperware has gone bankrupt.
In Australia, you won't be able to buy Tupperware anymore.
Seriously, no more Tupperware parties. Your friends are no longer going to be sending you catalogues or telling you to come and buy some stuff. The days of home shopping are over.
Yes, Tupperware was expensive, but it was good.
And now it is no more, and I'm half-cursing myself because I sort of coveted one of their drink bottles.
It all seems a bit surreal. Tupperware, and Tupperware parties have been part of the Australian cultural landscape as long as I've been alive.
I mean, doesn't everybody's family have a set of these containers?
It feels like a bit of my childhood has gone away.
I also found out that Avon is no more.
Many a long hour was spent pouring over the Avon catalogue. Avon's moderately priced makeup in ever colour under the sun was something I aspired to. And yes, I look in my handbag and there are many designer lipsticks floating around the bottom, but nothing used to beat a trawl through the latest Avon catalogue. I mean, where are all the grandmas going to get their SkinSoSoft oil now? And where can you get a soap on a rope for you Dad for his birthday?
It feels like the fabric of the universe is being dismantled.
It's a sad day.
Not that I ever need another piece of tupperware, but it's still sad.
