    I’m old enough to remember selling Tupperware as a viable economy.

      By the way, Tupperware is crap now. They deserve to go bankrupt. When a friend started selling Tupperware, I saw stuff that my mother still uses and I remember seeing at home when I was a kid. Now, we bought some stuff that two years later I had to throw away. It’s super shitty now. Not worth the money.

          Now it’s all about Pyrex anyway.

          Plus I won’t microwave anything plastic, even if it says I can.

            Same. My wife scoffed at my suggesting she stop and when my doctor sister mentioned it at a holiday family event without my prompting she finally took it seriously.

        I feel like Tupperware, Amway, and Mary Kay were the Ubers of 1980.

        All those old jobs are gone as a means of living. Al Bundy sold shoes. Door to door sales used to be viable

          Al Bundy worked in a store, and they do still have Shoe Salesman.

          It’s primarily for Work shoes though. Not enough spread in the plastic garbage these days to make an actual living.

          Source: Was a literal shoe salesman.
