Food storage synonym Tupperware has ‘substantial doubt’ it can survive
2023年4月13日小于 1 分钟
There are a handful
of companies whose brands become synonymous
with the product category they sell. Among them are giants
such as Xerox, Kleenex, Thermos and Tupperware. Today, 77 years after that last company’s founding, families often refer to the spot in the kitchen where they store plastic
food containers as “the Tupperware drawer” — even though it is possible that there’s nothing there actually bearing the company’s name. Such a scenario
is partly the reason behind its recent announcement that it was on the brink
of closure
