Iconic Company, Tupperware.. files for Bankruptcy

One of my favorite PBS documentaries is about Tupperware and Brownie Wise the woman who invented the "home party" sales method. It's both inspiring and sad because Mr. Tupper made a fortune through her work for many years and then sold the company and left her with just a small retirement gift.

What I love about the documentary is the older people telling their stories about the early days in the business and how it provided a way for housewives to find a little money and freedom of their own. It's a real time machine trip.
