I agree about feeling obliged to buy at any of the “parties” no matter what they were selling. I only ever went to one Ann Summers “party”, vowed never again. Utterly tasteless, extortionately priced tat.

Very popular in France - there was an item on the lunchtime news today. They pronounce it Toopairwaar and I have even beein invited to the parties. 😂

I agree Fleurpepper. Women in the flats where we lived as newlyweds were always having them. I felt obliged to go and buy something. I had a useless Party Susan or something at one point.

I didn't realise it was still going, I have a two tier fruit/ cake stand that convert a storage container in daily use it must be 30+ plus years old also another container with a colander inside that was given to me by my mother which is useful if you want to drain large items and keep the liquid .
Although I liked the containers I used to dreaded being invited to a " party" as money was tight and I always felt obliged to order something.

I heard this this morning.
I had no idea that you could still get Tupperware

Hated the pressure of buying over-priced stuff at those parties.

The household name could soon be history if it’s not bought over.
I’m sure a great many of us will have gone to a Tupperware party in the past. And probably still have some of it in use. Were any of you involved in selling it?
