Sorry Mom, But These Tweets About Tupperware Filing For Bankruptcy Are Way Funnier Than They Should Be
by Matt Stopera · BuzzFeedWell, sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Tupperware has filed for bankruptcy.
The NYT reports the iconic brand, which was started in the 1940s, has been struggling to adjust to the times. For example, Tupperware didn't start selling in stores like Amazon or Target until 2022!
The account Pop Base posted about it, and their tweet is going viral:
