I do understand. On occasion I have seen new items, even older ones. But buying used plastics does have the ooky factor, I'll give you that. I haven't, yet. Almost ... I want a refrigerator pitcher.

I have one. It is really ooky, but what can one expect from a 50 plus year old plastic item? I used to keep iced tea in it, so you can imagine the discoloration. I used it for a year or so, then put it away. Perhaps it is only thirty years old, I don't remember.
I will send it to you. It has an eight cup (64 ounces) capacity. You will throw it out, but at least you can see that some still exist. Perhaps you will find a new one on eBay.
Haha! My ploy worked! Got me a free pitcher. (laugh) Thank you so much, Margaret, you don't need to do that. My problem is that the jar I use to make iced tea is rather unwieldy and is not condusive to a neat pour. I'm tired of cleaning up iced tea from the counter.
If it's not one thing, it's another.

Nancy, I killed it. :o( I wanted to scrub it as clean as possible and the whole thing came apart at a seam or something. The only good thing about it is, that it was not the thin pitcher you wanted, but a high round one, almost like a very tall plastic glass with a cover. I am such an idiot! This is the first day in I don't know how long, that I am able to get to rfc (Debbie had to change my cable connection from Earthlink to Roadrunner and she exchanged her keypad for mine, because I rubbed off all the letters) and I do this stupid thing. It's a good thing I did it to you, you know already how idiotic I am.

I have been watching for you. Glad it was only a computer thing. Last I heard Stan was with you. I thought maybe he locked you in a closet or something. He's like that.

Not hardly. Not even close. Hugs to you for thinking of me.
Nancy - re your comment: "If it's not one thing, it's another." I used to work with a woman with a heavy southern accent. She used to say, "If it ain't rats, it's roaches!" Cracked us up!

I am sorry. Really. Hugs, M
You ought to try to return it to Tupperware. The big thing that they used to tout was their "Lifetime" warranty. See if they will replace it!
My mother gave me a, um, set? I guess you'd call it in 1980. Didn't realize they still made these. I have no idea where the "press" thing is and the ring that came with it. I've used the little bowls for various things including acting as a misen place and oh, one of them I use for giving milk to my cat.
I just put two of those ring things in the recycle box tonight... should I fish them out for you? I'm sure if I searched carefully I could find the rest of the set, including the presser.

Hmmmm. I suspect your friend was a southern urbanite. Rural Southerners say "If it ain't bugs, it's worms."

Haven't bought any Tupperware in *years*. IMHO, it's overrated (not to mention very expensive compared to other brands). I am quite happy with the "lesser-brand name" stuff - it's a fraction of the the price and it seems to last for ages too.

When I went off to work like a dutiful little daughter at age 18 Mom gave me a Tupperware lunch box. I still have some pieces of it around. It was a square that held a sandwich holder, a container for some fruit and a drink holder, sort of an adult "sippy cup" which every 18 year old should have. (laughing) They all fit together in a nice little lunch box container. I see they don't sell those anymore. Probably because they were totally embarrassing even if I'd been 8 instead of 18. They do sell lunchbox things and yes, from the photo it has a place for a juice-box! Oh goody!

Cathy, you're absolutely right. Rubbermaid and some of the knock-offs are cheaper than Tupperware, you don't have to host (or attend) a "party" to buy them. They work just as well, if not better.

You don't have to deal with a party at all to buy Tupperware. You call the dealer and say "I want this, here's some money, have a nice day
Yeah, but... doesn't the Tupperware party come with a sex toy matinee?

Meanwhile, the discontinue excellent, useful things, like a lemon juicing thing I couldn't get from my ex during our divorce negotiations.
A lot of those hard-to-find T'ware things were hostess premiums - only available if you gave a T'ware party. That's what you should do, Joe, and see if you can get one that way. ;-)
