Tupperware Just Filed For Bankruptcy—And The Tweets Are Hilariously Accurate

Tupperware Just Filed For Bankruptcy—And The Tweets Are Hilariously Accurate

After years of struggle, the iconic storage brand has filed for bankruptcy—and the internet is mourning.

Tupperware, known for its plastic food containers, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after years of declining sales and financial problems.

CEO Laurie Ann Goldman said the tough economy has hurt the company. Bankruptcy will help Tupperware reorganize and shift to a digital, tech-focused business.


Tupperware used to sell mainly through "Tupperware parties" but started selling at Target in 2022. The brand has struggled with younger customers and growing concerns about plastic.

In April 2023, Tupperware warned it might go out of business. Although it secured funding and cut debt, it still closed its only U.S. factory and laid off 148 workers.

Tupperware is an almost ubiquitous brand in U.S. households, so of course people had some feelings about the declaration—namely, how they were going to inform their mothers and grandmothers, who bought all the Tupperware in the first place.


Others had theories about why people weren't buying Tupperware these days.


Some folks pointed to a downside of the clear Tupperware.


This was also how many people learned that Tupperware is a specific brand, not the name of any container you put leftovers into.

Pretty powerful to have the brand name become synonymous with the thing itself.

Tupperware stock is currently trading around 51 cents USD per share.

Trump Ripped After Griping About 'Sissy' New NFL Kickoff Rule In Unhinged Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after he complained about the NFL's new "Dynamic Kickoff" rule that is designed to make playing football safer, calling it "sissy" football in a Monday morning post on Truth Social.

Under the previous rules, kickoffs began at the kicking team’s 35-yard line, with the goal of sending the ball as far as possible to pin the opposing offense deep in its own territory. The receiving team would try to advance the ball, which would often lead to high-speed collisions as players sprinted directly at each other.

Political Commentator Epically Fact-Checks Vance's Baseless Claims About Political Violence

In the wake of far-right activist Charlie Kirk's assassination, Vice President JD Vance has stepped up his attacks on leftists, this time by baselessly claiming that the far-left is more likely to commit political violence than the far-right.

Vance hosted a special episode of Kirk's podcast to attack what he referred to as “the lunatics in American politics" and said without any evidence that the suspect in Kirk's killing was motivated by far-left ideology.
