I have some OLD Tupperware - which I can testify is a
workhorse and well worth the $$ I spent considering that
it's more than 20 years old. However, I need some new
lids... can I get new lids for OLD Tupperware??? In most
cases, I can't turn in any old lids - because they were
thrown out, but I can produce the bottom piece.

There is a Tupperware kiosk in my local shopping center, so
I can get/order them there, if it's possible.

TIA

PS: I know that Glad Press & Seal works well with
Tupperware, but I'd rather have a real Tupperware lid. I
wouldn't even care if I had to spend a few cents (like 50)
on one. If it got into $$, of course I wouldn't bother.

There are some covers for older pieces still available. If it's a round
container, check the bottom and see if there is a single letter there.
Things like A seals, Y seals etc. are available since there are still
containers sold today with those seals. Even the pleated, instant seals are
still available AFAIK.

If you are going to go to the kiosk, rather than taking your container, look
on the bottom and you will see a series of numbers (i.e. 453-374). The
digits before the dash will tell the consultant exactly what item that is
and he/she will be able to look up the item in their parts book and tell you
if a seal is available for it.

Said seals are a few dollars rather than cents, depending on the size. But
consider spending 2-3 dollars on a seal that will last another 20 years
rather than spending a few bucks on a roll of Glad Press & Seal on a regular
basis.

I can't hear the word Tupperware ever since reading
a footnote to a copy of "Othello" which explained
that "tupp" was slang for "****" in Shakespeare's time.

So, all this time I've actually been using F*ckerware? Dang! Now I'll
*never* be able to hear or see that word without thinking of this.
Thanks heaps ;-)

Earl Silas Tupper was the inventor of Tupperware.
http://www.last-names.net
According to the celebrated poet by this name, Martin
Farquhar Tupper, it is a corruption of part of the motto of
the family, "Tout perdie." Figuring out what perdie means
- well, let's just say it has a lot of meanings - not
related to what Tony said... except in instances where I
could find no direct definition - in most of those cases, it
could have been a reference to a man's "third arm".

Remember how our last names connote relationships (Johnson =
John's son), jobs (Smith = smith/blacksmith - a man who
works with metal), nicknames (Small, Bliss) places of birth
or residence (Bath, Borland)?

So, if what Tony said is true
(here's a clue)
http://www.ebrummie.co.uk/brummie_dictionary/t.htm
tup n. a ram (Skeat, 1876)

now we know what one of Earl's distant relatives was known
for... and it wasn't milling, baking, tayloring or cooking.
