Tupperware Brands Corp, the company that sells our favourite Tupperware dabbas, has filed for bankruptcy after struggling with declining sales and rising competition for several years. The company, once a leader in food storage products, reported assets between $500 million and $1 billion, while its debts range from $1 billion to $10 billion, reported Hindustan Times. Since 2020, Tupperware had expressed concerns about its ability to continue operating.
You know who is going to be the most affected by Tupperware shutting down? Indian mother, who now have to gear up for a kitchen ka maha-yudh! How will they pack their aloo parathas and rajma chawal without those trusty dabbas? From leftover paneer curry to organizing masalas, Tupperware has been the secret sidekick in every Indian kitchen.
Soon, Indian mom memes took over social media! Have a look:

Indian moms are partly responsible for this. They never let their kids forget or lose a single dabba, thereby reducing sales. https://t.co/LW3RO14F7w
