Tupperware has filed for bankruptcy, a move attributed to declining sales and increasing debt. The brand, once iconic for its resealable containers, faces challenges due to competition and the genericization of its name, which refers to various products that are not necessarily Tupperware. Experts indicate that the company's failure to diversify its offerings amid rising competition contributed to its financial struggles. Despite this, the Tupperware name remains embedded in cultural memory, even as the company faces uncertain prospects going forward.
