Oh my god is that Tupperware?? Cherish it.
Bonesplinter
In my family we lost track of who owns what tupperware.
trumpypumpyinyourrumpy
We used to have these. Last time i saw mums was 96 or 97
sakela
I don't get it
arewenotkingsandqueenstogether
It's actual Tupperware, like the brand.
sakela
Does it have magical properties?
TheLastPerfectDay
My folks have these.
MrsGirafe
Does your mom know?...
QAFoundYourBug
Woah that's old school. My grandma had like bits and pieces of 3 sets haha
ThePlotTwistens
The missing ones are off with missing socks somewhere
goclimbarock
Haha oh yeah this is great but my stupid freind doesn't get it.

These were the go to tupperware containers in the 70s and 80s.

My mom still has a couple like that.
tchrbrian
That’s gold. Hold onto that as long as you can.
ThePlotTwistens
I give it a month before the lid goes missing
nonCanadianGoose
He’s gonna get shit from your mom for doing that.

Ohhh... lucky you; try having a Filipino mom and you will have a “I can’t believe it’s not butter” lunch container.
ThrowMamaFromTheTrain
And cool whip containers.
IDoPictureStuff
Almost everything is not butter actually.
TheJackinati275
almost...almost.
kadaeux
The contents aren't even lunch. Just "I can't believe it's not butter"
ThePlotTwistens
First they laugh because your family can’t afford tupperware and then they laugh cause it’s not even butter. Been there.
randycue
I assume your mom wasnt around or that wouldnt happen
veesee
Dont tell your mom. That's grounds for divorce. Straight. Up.
photog
They divorced when I was little. Probably why there isn't a complete set.
LateNightBunnyParty
I've got my mom's old mustard yellow canister set from the 70s. God awful color, but it holds all my flour and sugar and kool-aid packets.
PolarAntonyms
Charlie Chips?
DYMongoose
My parents have both.
LateNightBunnyParty
PolarAntonyms
Very cool
PolarAntonyms
My grandma had these
LateNightBunnyParty
I dunno what that is. It's just an ugly yellow Tupperware set.
DYMongoose
Brand of potato chips that used to sell in a a giant tin like flavored popcorn at Christmas.
LateNightBunnyParty
Ah. Well those are in metal cans, lol. Mine is Tupperware, like @OP's.

Don't say I never gave you nothing
HolyHellJezebel
It's precious. Do not microwave it.
DeaconJon
Unless it's one of the new ones
LariCheltsy
ThrowMamaFromTheTrain
Also. Do not pour hot popcorn in it.
GizmosBabySitter
Because popcorn is liquid.
floxsyu
You can pour a bowl of cereal, chips, water, these hands
ohmygodtheysaidnewzealand
And don’t put it in the dishwasher! Even on the top rack. I destroyed one of m my old flat mates vintage Tupperware by doing that.
Rashaan360
My ribs would burn through that. I have burn many microwave safe bowls trying to reheat my ribs. Best to just store candy in it. ❤️
Saint612
I mean, that's sad about your Tupperware and all, but ovens exist. Would probably be a better reheat for something like ribs.
xDaisyMae
I do not understand what this is
Cayenneforever
Genuine Vintage Tupperware.
photog
He told me I can, just not with the lid.
FierceAndAdorable
Check the bottom for the wavy microwave lines. It’s also older style and won’t hold up to much microwave
NotAnotherDisneyPrincess
It won’t last, and yeah, toxic.
HolyHellJezebel
The sides bubble up pretty bad. My mom also had the mustard yellow which she microwaved spaghetti sauce in. Not pleasant to look at.
Stickynipslip
You spray plastic bowls with Pam before heating sauces. It’ll prevent them from staining.
Dogmom2008
Don’t take the chance!!!
BrendaJacobsen
I didn't know that, so I accidentally microwaved my boyfriends tupperware that he got from his dead grandma.. I died a little inside ?
CaptWally
I love vintage,but older plastic food containers were manufactured before regulations were in place.That thing is toxic, especially when hot
ImgurMadeMeChangeMyNameCauseItsDumb
Yikes. I feel like most of my childhood was eating microwaved leftovers out of those.
spidermenz
Hey if the dr. don't care...

MrJwinkyface
The toxins add to the nostalgic flavor....
JohnnyTwoStreams
Like my ex.
MrJwinkyface
Smells like microwaved fish....
MrRemakes
Possibly mildly radioactive. I think it's the orange ones that are radioactive.

We had like 20 margarine containers instead of normal Tupperware.
njjb00612
I was poor too
meta666
My parents use hummus pots. They’re not even poor. When I moved in with my now husband I couldn’t get over buying a whole new set of -

MATCHING tuppaware. People do that?
ConfederacyOfDunces
That takes me back.
blonx
I read this as 20 margarita containers...
winkyroomba
I use salsa containers. Have a drawer full of them.
veesee
Did your family buy the small ones or like the massive 4 liter ones??? We had the army sized... it was fucking gross
ExistentialCat
My grandma would buy the massive ones in bulk, freeze them, and then portion them off in smaller margarine contained she collect. Nastyyyy
violaleeblues
Yep, we had those GIANT Country Crock tubs. Never could just glance at them to figure out what was inside, it was a whole fridge operation.
ThePlotTwistens
My mom always used to put actual butter in those. Everyone would be like “wait a minute...IT IS BUTTER!”
fuckthisishard
Nowadays lunch meat comes in free tupperware and my mom has an entire cabinet full of the fucking things and I've never seen her use one.
Iamtiger
I didnt know people actually used margarine. You're a unicorn
pelusita35
I don’t remember ever consuming cool whip. Ever. But we had at least 3 containers.
ImNotTaylorSwift
We don't. The containers...they just...appear.
pelusita35
Bet you’re not even Hispanic!That is such a Hispanic household.I don’t know if we ever had coolwhip or margarine,But we had the containers
canyouthriveat35
I don’t ever remember cool whip but we had so many of the tubs.
pelusita35
I do not ever remember consuming cool whip. Yet we had the containers.
JeremyPeevin
It's not a hispanic thing. It's a poor thing. I'm white and I save every container I can.
pelusita35
Me too! All grown up and makin’ it ok. I still save and use all of them.
ThrowMamaFromTheTrain
Poor whitey northern Indiana. Same. It's a poor thing.
pelusita35
Poor southern Hispanic thing. Gotta admit, kinda embarrassed when my rich friends visited. Or hell, any friends visited.
veesee
No honey. It's a poor thing. All us poor folks did it. Yogurt, margarine, sour cream containers... it was a russian roulette of left overs
pelusita35
Yogurt? Were you one of those rich-poor?/teasing. We never had yogurt. The men in our family wouldn’t eat it, I just realized. Huh.
pelusita35
And it was never the original! Rice? Beans? Fried pork? Never dessert, though.
veesee
Always rice. So. Much.rice
pelusita35
Yes. And beans. Always beans.
