Tupperware was developed in 1946 by Earl Tupper, a chemist and inventor from Leominster, Massachusetts. Plastic was not a very popular material back then being somewhat hard and rigid and often stank (being a by-product of the oil refining process) but through experimentation Tupper developed a plastic that was flexible, odorless, non-toxic, durable, and light weight, and used it to make sealable storage containers.
He patented his revolutionary seal in 1949 and started to sell his product in stores but it didn't do very well. It wasn't until the 1950's that the party concept was introduced and it did so well that Tupper stopped selling his product in stores and sold it exclusively through home parties, and to this day it is still it's only form of distribution.
Here we have a set of 10 unused pearly pink 2 oz. Midgets with lids that would be great for storing those small bits, salad dressing or dips, sauces, spices, etc. The lids are made to be air/water tight and can be hard to close when they are new.
