Tupperware
Earl Tupper
In 1946, chemist Earl Tupper created lightweight, non-breakable plastic containers inspired by the seal-tight design of paint cans. At first, Tupperware® products didn't sell well in stores. The products were so innovative that customers needed demonstrations to understand how they worked.
