Eater Dallas editor Courtney Smith eschews most hard-sided containers altogether and prefers regular old Ziploc storage bags instead. “They’re great for anything that is malleable and for when you need to make room in the fridge,” she says.

Brands is sealing the deal by filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as it looks to navigate financial challenges. The iconic company’s decision comes after declining sales for its vibrant food storage containers and stiff competition from more eco-friendly alternatives.

The company's bankruptcy filing, though, faces opposition from Tupperware's new lenders, who want the petition dismissed or converted it to a Chapter 7 case, which would liquidate the company. Alternatively, they’re asking the court for permission to take action against the company, which could allow them to collect debt they’re owed.

Tupperware, the renowned plastic food container company, has filed for bankruptcy after years of dwindling sales and increasing competition. The US-based firm, which operates its UK headquarters in Milton Keynes has entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings due to a sustained decrease in demand over the past decade.
