I work for a living.

Really hate even seeing this stuff in my lunchbox. Might as well eat out of a coin operated machine. My wife really has no clue about how much of this stuff gets thrown in the dumpster at work...

Real men despise tupperware.... Just sayin.

Wise up wise guy. Thats small potatoes. Everything is until you make it big. Thats when the problems start. Everything
works out if you want it to. I did sleep at a roadside motel several years back. No charge just friendly observation.
Tupperware? My wife buys it and gives it away like "lucky Charms"..... And I'm "magically invisable"

Real men don't sweat the small stuff.... just sayin'.

She probably feels really good about taking such good care of you.

Long ago, like the mid 1980s, I worked across the river. I had to wend my way through the maze of interstate ramps to make it to work. At the end of the 6th street viaduct, the ramp to the uphill made a big S turn. Everyday there in the roadway was a pair of sandwiches. Neatly packaged in sandwich bags. I made sure to hit them when I could. It wasn't just occasionally, it was every day. The guy did go to work at least.

I could imagine the guys little wifey getting herself up early to pack him a lunch that he never ate. I'm guessing he liked to eat out, or had a GF he dined with. I even considered going early and watching the ramp to see who tossed them!

I do like tupperware. I just got a couple of 1 gallon tubs to use to lube up some cases for resizing. Its good for a lot of purposes.

Last spring I went to my normal Saturday yard sales. One girl/lady had a big clear trash bag full of tupperware. Some actual brand name, some cheap clones. But she only wanted $10 for the entire bag. I bought it, much to my wife's dismay. She had to wash them. But we ended up giving most of it to my sons wives.

Buy your wife a 100 pack of ziplocks, the same size and ask her to try them for a few months.

Tupperware, ziplock bags, whatever..........I cherish seeing the frig full of them because that means GOOD food for a second time around.
Be happy that you have a wife that packs your lunch.
Pretty sure your wife's name is Jules...........I remember you speakin' highly of her in the past so I suppose you're just jokin'.
Just sayin'

My wife feeds me pretty good out of our tupper ware. It's so good in fact that I went out and bought her a new set. I also cook for her.

Tupperware melts when fire is added. (a good excuse to fire up the torch) Just tell her that the microwave at work made the mangled mess and it's probably a better idea if you bought lunches. A finishing touch would be telling her that you are trying to eat salads and they are best served fresh.

After she puts your lentil soup in a paper bag, I have a feeling your will rethink this. Tupperware is fantastic...you just dont like the way it looks in your Gizamo lunchbox...

LOL!! I thought this was going to be another thread dedicated to bashing Glocks and other polymer frame pistols. I personally like Tupperware products, especially those hamburger patty containers.

Tupperware or Rubbermaid, either one makes a great traveling cigar humidor.

Wish my wife were still around to put leftovers in Tupperware for my lunch.

I use it. I ain't going to any of the parties to get it though. Too noisy. I will buy it at a yard sale. Not only is it good to store food, it's also good to store ammo.

Could be worse... you could open up your lunch box and find a Sigma...

Double tap!

I think the bigger problem than the Tupperware is what you eat.
I never had a problem with last nights leftovers for lunch...

Aww darn, lasagna again.
Dang it! she packed me fried chicken and potato salad, what a bummer.
Sloppy Joes suck.
***, how dare that cold hearted wench pack me up Two Pastrami sandwiches!

My wife sold Tupperware 20+ years ago. We still have many strange pieces in the attic.

She has never cooked me a lunch, much less put one in Tupperware.

Wow, yeah.
Thanks for reminding me what really matters LVSteve.

My wife always used wax paper/butcher paper, aluminum foil and mason jars for lunch items. I don't trust plastic.

I tried a couple of those nice stanley stainless insulated bottles over the years, but both got stolen- but they were gifts from my wife. No one has bothered to steal a mason jar though.

Yeah, Tupperware sucks. I long for the days when bowls were either metal or ceramic, and we used superior sealants like wax paper to keep our food fresh for eight, maybe nine hours.

For that matter, I hate my refrigerator. Real men only use an icebox, and relish changing the ice every couple of days.

I also hate my lawnmower. Real men only use a scythe to cut the grass or, if they're lazy, own a couple of goats.

And while we're at it, cars suck too! And electricity. And indoor plumbing. And toilet paper.

But you know what *really* stinks? Firearm cartridges. A real man carries his black power in a pouch and knows how to load his flintlock. Only the effete think of keeping their hands clean by using a cartridge in something so unmanly as a revolver.

Sheesh.

I don't understand. Please explain what you would consider appropriate. Do you want her to show up at noon every day in a gingham dress with a pick-nick basket?

So I'm havin' trouble understandin'. We know you can't store powder in plastic, least we get modern versions of Skeeter's Cow Killer loads. They'd be good for bullets. And even a moisture tight primer box storin' place. I like them already for brass, and with the new fangled spray case lube, it keeps it kind of in one messy place. Charile says he can store ammo in them. I'm thinkin' the bigger ones would get kind of heavy. Way too heavy.

I wonder if Sip goes borrowing sugar with them? Do uppity holllywood types use tupperware to store Splenda? I've never tried borrowin' moonshine in tupperware, but they ship it in gallon milk jugs (don't ask how I know.) The stuff etches you inards, kind of surprising it doesn't eat right through milk jug plastic. Of course it isn't in the plastic very long.

Never did have to keep track of the days of the week, Friday [PAYDAY] was the only day my wife made lunch for me!

One thing I want to know: What happens to the lids? We can't keep them. Just like socks in the wash - they mysteriously dissapear. Are we cursed alone on this? Why would aliens want just the lids? Or are they made to dissintegrate at some point? Kind of like when the kids were still living here, and the silverware and dishes would dissapear. But we found those all under their beds eventually. No this is different. Real scary.

Mine never made me lunch in 28 yrs,but she sure liked to complain.She complains to the dog now...

Years ago my wife Penny on the way to her Volunteer Fire Department meeting mentioned that we had too much tupperware.
I packed all the tupperware and took it to Goodwill. This turned a bright and sunny day into a dark, gloomy day with thunder and lightning.
In our present neighborhood Penny is the only spouse that cooks (daily).
We have daily visits from the neighborhood guys at meal time. What the guys don't inhale, Penny sends to their wifes in plastic food containers that she saves for this purpose. Two of these guys have already proposed marriage to her in my presences. (should I purchase a shotgun?) Penny has a "Facebook" page "Penny's Recipes" if anyone wants some great recipes.

Giz,

This was really a joke to get everyone going, wasn't it???????

Please say it was.

Wow, 4 pages about Tupperware, from a bunch of gun heads. I thought for sure this thread was gonna be about plastic rifle stocks.

My Tupperware canisters rule. Had them for over 20 yrs, and they keep the home brewing supplies airtight. One of my bimbo girlfriends melted a lid on the stove, and when I asked a rep about getting a new lid, they sent me 4 new lids for free under the lifetime warranty.

Josh P

I'm just glad I'm not the only one who saw this and thought it might be another Glock thread.

I'm with ya Giz!

You could tell her instead of us.....................But, I'm thinking that wouldn't work out to well in your favor. I'm guessing that you really do enjoy her taking care of you instead of being some more-than-ample sized bon-bon eating slug that couldn't give a rats(tail) about what you eat. If not, kick her to the curb so she can go abuse some other poor sap with her tupperware.

I spent a good part of my life with a lunch rolled up in a Levi jacket tied on the back of a saddle. By noon the heat and the bouncin' around made most everything pretty unrecognizable. An aunt once packed peanut butter and banana sandwiches and a Hershey bar.

Now you think what a banana slice looks like layin' on the kitchen counter after an hour or two. Bein' in the sunlight and hammered around all morning din't improve things. That Hershey bar was puddin'. With nothing to drink and wash that stuff down, this ol kid was wise enuff not to try and swaller that stuff. It all went down a badger hole.

It got plumb hungry out before we got home just before sun down.

Anything that keeps lunch in reasonably the same shape as it left the kitchen gits my vote.

Most of my working years I always drove a truck & my wife always packed my lunch. The lunch I remember most was one I was eating about 9:00 PM in Hurricane, UT. It was in one of those Tupperware things & fresh out of the microwave. Some wise young girl came by and said " Someone loves you very much to pack a lunch like that!"

I am never trusted with the real Tupperware brand stuff because I might kill it or use it to store gun parts in or Gods knows what use i might put it to before it got back to "Herself"

My fiance has a plethora of those glass containers that are microwave/oven safe with the tabs that snap down on all four sides to secure the lid. Those things are great! I never have to worry about squashed food or buying those zip type bags. Plus I usually have dinner leftovers from the previous night.... yesterday I had Indian food. I really don't want that in a plastic bag.

Just tell your wife that you would rather eat canned ecoli than her home packed lunch. I'm sure she will grant you that privilege, or let you pack your own. She may even let you sleep in the doghouse.
