Tupperware Party!

Last Friday, I got a message from my neighbour, inviting me on (very) short notice for a Tupperware Party the day after @ her place. My mom used to love Tupperware when I was little, so I decided to sneak a peak and go.

Upon arriving we were all handed a cardboard pad and pen, an order form, the catalogue and a few folders. There were drinks and toasts for our enjoyment.  We all sat in a circle around a table full of Tupperware products. A woman then introduced herself as Karen and said she was doing the presentation with her boyfriend Kevin. She started by telling us what got her interested in Tupperware and what had motivated her into doing these demonstrations. After that, she passed a bag of Tupperware goodies along and we all got to choose a little present to start with. I chose a mini strainer.

Then her boyfriend took over and said he was gonna cook us a pasta salad with chicken, tomatoes and cucumber, all by using only Tupperware products.  Meanwhile, Karen continued showing us all sorts of containers, canisters, spoons and knifes and some kitchen appliances. All these different products at the table looked very colourful, attractive and fun.  I remember my mom’s products were all boring orange and white, so they really stepped up their game by adding so many fancy colours to their range. I’m not going to go too much into detail, so if you want to know what I’m talking about, just go to the Tupperware website and see what’s available in your country (since it differs).

The pasta was first cooked in the Pasta Party microwave container. The chicken was then cooked in the Ultrapro Oven Plate (also in the microwave) without using any butter and much to our surprise, after a good 15-20 minutes, was nicely golden baked. Kevin cut the tomatoes and cucumber and finished the salad off with a nice mustard olive oil dressing. We all got to taste a small plate, and really liked it.

After our little eating moment, everyone was allowed to share their own personal experiences with Tupperware. And seeing the audience existed mainly of women, we talked a lot, even exchanged recipes! Something I found out and was really surprised by was the fact that you can easily exchange your old used Tupperware products for new ones. You just hand them over to your Tupperware consultant and she’ll make sure you get them replaced.

By the end of the demonstration, everyone started filling in their order forms. I myself ordered some Eco Water Bottles, very handy (and trendy!) for drinking water at work and refilling at the water fountain. Or just to take with you during your work out. I also got the microwave Rice Cooker and the Salad Party bowl (with cutlery and mini sauce container).  

All in all, it was a fun and vivid afternoon and I had some good fun. I know the brand Tupperware is really old and sounds a little boring, but this demonstration was quite the opposite. If you ever get invited, I’d recommend you to go, even if out of pure curiousity! You will be surprised!
