Tupperware Products I Own:

Truth is, I haven't ever been a huge purchaser of Tupperware products.

I mean, I'm really not that loyal to any one brand ...of anything.

That said, I have purchased my fair share of Tupperware items. Because when I find something I like, I tend to buy it (often in multiple colors, shapes & sizes).

Here are my all-time favorite in the world of Tupperware...

Oval See-Thru Containers - Great for dry pourable foods. I have the smallest size. I use them for toting snacks to work and saving small leftovers.

Snack Cup Set - Perfect for bite-size snacks or single servings... for taking along in your purse, or storing leftovers.

Cereal Storer - For the longest time, I used to remove the cereal (in its waxed-paper liner) and then threw away the cardboard cereal box. THEN, I discovered these cereal storers! They hold a lot of cereal (we usually buy the larger sized boxes of cereal from Sam's Club), and they're see-thru, so you can always see just how much cereal is left.

Forget Me Not Containers - These are great for storing the remaining half of an onion, half of a tomato, or any other partially used fruit or vegetable. They take up virtually no space, since they "hang" from the racks in your refrigerator.

Season-Serve Container - This is supposed to be for marinading meats and vegetables (thanks to the unique "grills" built-into the container), but I use it for storing everything from fresh-baked cookies to X to X. It's a great size -- in between "large" and "small", yet deep to hold several layers.

Serving Center Set - The perfect veggie tray container! It separates and organizes all of your stuff: vegetables & tip, taco & nacho fillings, condiments for cookouts and more.

Shape-O Toy - Okay, so I was a kid when I owned this one, but who doesn't have fond memories of this one-of-a-kind toy. I didn't know until recently that this toy came from Tupperware!

Tupperware Products I Would Love To Have:

CrystalWave Soup Mug - A mug that works like a bowl and can go from fridge to lunch box to microwave to table. It's great for eating soups, oatmeal, and instant noodles at work.

Spaghetti Dispenser - This see-thru container has a special insert which allows for easy pouring and measuring of spaghetti noodles. It's great for breadsticks too.

Rock 'n Serve Mug - A great way to cook & serve single-size portions of soup, stew, pasta, or even hot chocolate -- especially at work. I like that it's got a big handle, can go from freezer to microwave to table, the unbreakable & stain-resistant plastic lasts a lifetime, and the vent on the lid "rocks" open, allowing steam to escape in the microwave and eliminating messy microwave splatters.

FridgeSmart Containers - I've seen these demonstrated on QVC & they look really practical! They make your fruits and vegetables last longer in the refrigerator. How? The built-in grid keeps food higher than the condensation which builds up. And the unique venting system lets you regulate the airflow within the container -- because fruits & veggies have different airflow needs when stored in the fridge.

Tupperware went above & beyond on this one too... Each container has a permanent storage/venting chart molded into the side, so you always know the best vent settings for your favorite fruits and vegetables. Check it out here (pdf).

Insulated Tumbler with Drip-less Straw Seal - This would be great for our fresh-made smoothies! It's large (24oz), it's double-walled design keeps beverages cold for hours. And the "drip-less straw seal" (aka "lid") minimizes leakage even when tipped (with the straw in it!), also preventing messy spills.

Stuffables Storage Containers - These bowls are award-winning (...or maybe it's the lids which are award-winning). The lids "expand" allowing you to stuff more inside. Think "expandable luggage"... similar concept.

Easy-Lift Cutting Board - Not only is this cutting board uniquely designed... it's also BLACK, so it would go nicely in a modern kitchen AND it hides the nicks and cuts into the board's surface better than white and wooden cutting boards do. Plus, it's got non-skid feet on the bottom, so it won't slip away while you're cutting. And the built-in indented trough catches peels, seeds, and juices -- keeping your chopping surface and your counter clean.

The Place For Seals - (They call their lids "seals".) Isn't the process of storing lids to all your plastic bowls a headache?... (I currently store all mine on their sides inside the largest size plastic bowl I own.) This handy little contraption makes it a cinch to keep all your Tupperware lids in one place -- neat & tidy.

Cascade Plastic Booster - I've been meaning to try this stuff. It keeps your see-thru plastic containers stain-free. Even removes set-in stains (from tomato-based products, etc.). Since it's available in their online catalog, it must work great on Tupperware too!
