28 July : Air tight containers also have a history

All of us use air tight containers these days as lunch boxes, but do you know this idea is as old as 71 years. These are called Tupperware. The mind behind these tupperwares was of Earl Silas Tupper who was born today in 1907. He developed plastic containers used in households to contain food and keep it airtight.

Earl Tupper invented the plastic for Tupperware already in 1938, and in 1949, Tupperware introduced the ‘Wonderlier Bowl’ that gave a start to a revolutionary range of kitchen utensils.
