I've got a confession to make.
I like the color orange.
I've got another confession to make.
I like vintage Tupperware.
Throw the two together and I'm in 70's heaven.
OK, there I've said it. I feel so much better.
I found the larger orange Tupperware Servalier bowl at a yard sale for a quarter last weekend. The other bowls are from my personal stash.
Oh, I have more. I just didn't feel like doing the dishes for you. I use these All. The. Time.

That screams my childhood. I think my mom might still have that exact set. Josie discovered the Brady Bunch on tv the other day. She's hooked.

OH yes, vintage Tupperware is the best. I'm still using my yellow canister set from the early '80's.
(and Mum was a Tupperware Lady in both the UK and the US - we had gobs of it about the house!)

I had some of these but the dishwasher can be hard on tupperware. They are fun colors!

I love Tupperware too! One of the greatest inventions -- EVER! =)
Linda @ A La Carte
Those colors! Oh my! That is the kind of Tupperware I sold back in the 80's!!
Linda @ Itsy Bits And Pieces
What a blast from the past...and it was good stuff! I should start looking for some at sales as I need some storage containers- thanks for sharing!

I feel that way about pink Pyrex Pam:-) I actually have some of these but only the lids are colored as I bought them in the 80s in college. My mom has some older pieces that she still uses including a cool salt and pepper set. We have been watching "The Brady Bunch" on Hallmark in the afternoons, and the kids are loving the retro style!
Shelia
Move over, Pam, I love it too! I had these pieces when my kids were little and now they're gone! Probably buried in the yard because my kids would sneak them out of the kitchen and take them outside to play with! 🙂
be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉

The memories of Tupperware home parties and getting suckered into hosting one, thinking about all the free items you might receive. Fun post.

Oh, no! no! No need to apologize. For years and years my favorite color was red. Not bright red, but a deep, dark country red. This past year or so I don't know what's come over me, but like you, I had to admit that orange was my new fave. Not just any orange though. I like it with some brown in it. A harvest orange, if you will! And I've got those old tupperwares too. One friend still needs to return my two, the thief. You know not to put them in the microwave right?
Lottie
A quarter!!!!!!! I'm so going yard sailing tomorrow! Love the colors!

My grandfather brings my grandmother cut up fruit in these Tupperware containers when he visits her in the nursing home.
One of my fav Tupperware pieces in the orange piece under the yellow & green. I only have one. All the other ones don't pass the smell test!

Those colors don't float my boat but they sure do bring back memories! Have to love old Tupperware 🙂
Olive
I love Tupperware too. When I worked in the hospital I called the hospital police when my lunch was stolen because they got my tupperware!
Jill
I used to have a yellow, green and orange set, sometimes I wish it was still around.
Marigene
OMG, do those bring back memories!

Although I have many pieces of Tupperware, including the ones shown, my favorite is a set my mother bought when Tupperware first started having parties in the '50s. It's a set of pastel cups molded with the handles as part of the bowl of the cup. They're awesome!
Ida
Would you believe that my mom still has this very set. I had some lime green canisters from about this time period too.
Chris Rothenbach
I just used two large TW tumblers with lids to take ice water on a kayaking day trip, Thurs. have a huge boxful as we're working on reducing our freezer inventory
Shawn Stevens
I thought I was the only crazy lady who loved the vintage bowls! I used them all growing up, then scowered yard sales for them when I got married! They are awesome!!
LivingVintage
Oh, I do love tupperware! I actually had a party when I was still in high school. Where all those pieces went, I have no idea.

OH MY GOODNESS.. does that bring back memories. I got those exact colors when I was a bride in Sept 1977 - in fact, my first apartment, 2nd apartment, rental house, (I was military wife) and base houses were all... those colors in kitchen! I never had to worry about not matching! And now I am in rental townhouse and almost died when I walked in for first look... and they had avocado appliances (except brand new fridge), golden formica counter and 'printed tile' in avocado, gold, red and black on floor... talk about being retro!!! (actually they were built in 1970s and I selected one that still had all original appliances! What a hoot! GADawn

Oh My Goodness! This just anchored me back to my bridal shower! I received one of everything in the catalog or so it seemed. The women in my small community gave be a Tupoerware Bridal Shower! It was so much fiun! That was in 1979 and after so many moves..I still have a few pieces but for the most part, they are gone. From potluck lunches with friends promising to return it once the party ended to just losing them to tupperware heaven! I loved tupperware! And if truth be known...I still do!
Gracie Garza Saenz
Ooops! Typo! My shower was in 1977!
Pam Kessler
I still find pieces at estate sales around here and I'll grab them if they're in good shape! They were made to last back then!
