Tupperware Museum

Sealed in freshness!
The Tupperware Museum in Orlando, Fl.

We were able to make it to the Tupperware Museum a couple of years back which is located at the main headquarters of Tupperware.  On display are items from the early days of Tupperware in the 1940s such as Mr. Tupper's door to door travel sample case and an early version of machinery for molding the products.  There is a space dedicated to Brownie Wise who revolutionized the Home Party way of selling Tupperware, which is still popular today.

Under clear plastic space domes are examples of  many Tupper products of yesteryear and current.

Jadite Green shaker with lid, food grater and storage, colander with grid lid

Getting to the Tupperware Museum was quite a feat for us.  It happens to be about 8 hours away and we were trying to squeeze it in while in town for a work conference for Mr. Husband.  The first time we tried to go it was on a Sunday and closed.  The grounds are not fenced off so we parked and were walking around looking at the Tupper Seal Tuppy water fountain and other water features when we were rudely escorted off by a rent-a-cop.  PB thought we were going to go to jail.  He was really freaked out.  About a month later we happened to be kinda near the Orlando area again and were determined to go to the museum.  Mr. Husband called several times to make sure it was going to be open. We drove about a hour out of our way as a side trip before having a 8 hour drive to get back home.  When we went in we found out that the entire staff were in a big corporate meeting for the next hour.  Still determined we drove down the highway and browsed some shops for a bit.  On the way back to Tupperware the sky fell out with torrential rain, I mean like hurricane fury.  Still we were going to see some Tupperware! We ran in the building getting soaked up to the knees.  I couldn't bring in my decent camera because I didn't want it to get wet and went with using our dinky pocket camera, which explains the horrible photos.  The museum is actually just part of a corridor and really small.  There is suppose to be a photobooth there with a digital background but it wasn't working.  The mini Tupperware keychain vending machine was out of the decent selections.  The rain was so bad we had to hang out at the Tupperware place for waay longer than it took to view the displays.  But damn it, we went, we saw, we experienced some Tupperware!
