Of broken Tupperware and questionable food decisions

[smeddley]

I have had a crappy day thus far, but more comedic crappy than truly horrifically crappy, as was pointed out by the universe (that always seems to happen when I complain, I should know better).

Anyway, did you know Tupperware could break? I dropped my little container of pudding on the floor this morning (granted, I do have very hard tile floors) and the edge snapped off. To its credit, at least the lid stayed on and I didn't have to clean up a huge puddingy mess. I think it's still structurally sound, so I feel bad about wanting to throw it away because the broken edge will drive me batty.

In other news, I found out (because I bothered to look) that it was "Hecho en Mexico". I always thought of Tupperware as very American, go figure. It's expensive enough (compared to, say, Rubbermade) you'd think it could be made here, and be slightly more durable.

Also, I have declared today 'eat all of the questionable leftovers out of the fridge day'. Tomorrow's celebratory tagline is pending.

How odd! Was it vintage stuff or new?

New! I'd just bought it from a friend at work whose mom was getting out of the business (so at least it was discounted, but still!).
