SA reacts to Anele Mdoda's post

Social media users shared mixed reactions to the star's post. Many said the company was supposed to move with the times and make trendy items.

@SoulFairy3 commented:

"We promise we cook, but we have to buy ingredients in Cyril's economy😭 Our Tupperware is ice-cream containers only."

"Tupperware killed itself. It should have moved with the times - and created a disposable container line or - changed their go to market strategy i.e not depending on housewives going door to door with catalogues. Home choice & Table Charm are next. A 1st year business student could have figured out that the Tupperware business model was old."

@mamtungwa_ added:

"Tupperware should evolve we can’t have the same designs our mothers had, also we have moved from colourful designs they should move with the times 😂🤷🏾‍♀️"

"Reasons for Tupperware's bankruptcy: 1. Created long-lasting products that you don’t need to buy them again. Literally suffering from success."

"Maybe people stopped buying them because people were returning them and no longer stealing them. Plus the Tupperware core base is sadly withering away. I've inherited over 100 Tupperware items from my mum and I have never bought a single one. I'm 52."
