Tupperware — famous for durable products that have been lauded as icons of modernism and, as such, have been included in the collections of both the Museum of Modern Art and the Smithsonian Institution — may be facing its final days, writes Alfred Lubrano for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

According to financial experts, the company has failed to connect with young consumers and is currently overwhelmed with competition. Low demand has caused a sharp decline in its in-person sales force.

As a result, net sales for last year were $1.3 billion, an 18 percent decrease from 2021.

Now, as the company did not file its annual report in time, it could well find itself delisted from the New York Stock Exchange.

With end times looming over the company, users have been reassessing their indispensable Tupperware items, some of which they have have kept for decades.

Lisa Woverton, a personal trainer from Ardmore, is one.

“I still have old-school pieces from when my mom sold Tupperware 20 years ago,” she said. “[They include] a yellow strainer, a Jell-O mold, and a cupcake holder.”

And despite its age, Wolverton still uses that strainer daily.
