Buy the cheap stuff and make sure your Wife/GF/Significant Other doesn't waste the other $45.

's'bout all you can do, really.

Actually my wifes pretty good in that respect. Its mainly the girls at work that talk about it all the time.

I don't get it. Its just coloured metal but they charge multiple times what you pay for a simple car with a decent engine. They even have fairs where men can go and look at over-sized chunks of metal that they all want to spend hard earned money on.

From what I gather its also some sort of social measuring rod, that's why they always try to pimp these cars even more.
Ask any man about his car and he will say "it has soandso much of this'n'that and can (could..) go this fast (outside public roads/a city..)". Look at the facts, 1) the big engines are economical nonsense, 2) chances are that one cannot drive the car at its speed limit.. without hitting a speed limit and risking his license.

But if you speak in favor of fuel-saving cars with adequate horsepower without useless gimmicks in front of some men they call you a faggot.

We have had a few of these parties in my house but every time the Mrs arranges one I have to fuck off out for the night and I miss the buzz.  Literally.

The Tupperware pricing and marketing strategy is just a dinosaur from the 1950's / 1960's ... losing steam and it will eventually die.  Back then it was a novel concept and there was no competition.  But, the "burping seal" patent expired in the mid 1980's and this meant that competition began. 

Today, Tupperware is just facing too much competition, and their marketing strategy of "parties" is becoming outdated.  You can tell that they are having problems.  They have tried putting it in stores in the US, but the high prices didn't work for them ... but, they have a good reputation ("good will") and someone just needs to lead the company into mainstream American marketing.

We're not talking about that way!

i think i get more annoyed by the name than the product itself, which is pretty much the mac of plastic boxes.
