OMG LMAO @ the remote Too funny Papa

Tupperware is guaranteed. You can buy used tupperware at a yard sale and trade it back to the tupperware dealer nearest you for a new one or a new style of whatever item it was. Marked on tupperware can also be exchanged.

Instead of writing your name on the tupperware. Try buying seperate tupperware for his lunches. Once you have all the items you need. Take a permanent marker and write:

If you find or buy this tupperware , call xxx-xxxx for a reward

Reward is you saying ThANK YOU !!

If it were me i would stop fixing his lunches at let him know you'll be glad to fix them once you have something to put them him. If he wants lunch he'll bring them back or take care of his own lunch.

After weeks of not getting any of his lunch dishes back, I made my husband's favorite cookies. I made sure they finished baking right before he came home so the house was filled with the aroma. I hid said cookies all except for 1, which I began to eat as he walked in the door. Of course the first thing out of his mouth was, "oh! You made cookies." To which I replied, "Yes, and you can have some as soon as you bring home all your lunch dishes." Guess what I had the next day! He's never had a problem remembering to bring his dishes home again.

Are you referring to real Tupperware or are you just using it as a generic term for plastic containers? When I want to take something in a plastic container, I just reuse things like Cool Whip containers, Smart Balance containers, etc. I also have some of the Rubbermaid and Dixie brands "disposable" containers as well. However, I've heard that it's not good to use these containers for microwaving, as they were not made for that. The chemicals in the plastic can cook into the food. Not good. This is why I don't use microwaves to begin with. Well, when I do it's to reheat coffee in a ceramic mug or Smart Balance for popcorn in a small Corning Ware bowl.

On the other hand, I would just tell my husband that it's a little hard to pack his lunch if there is nothing in which to put it.

I had to use the same method- can't pack it if there is no where to put it. Seemed to work. I buy the lunch meat in the resealable container sometimes just to get the "tupperware". Should this not be microwaved? I never thought about that.

You can cook in certain Tupperware made for the microwave. We sell High Heat resistant containers that do don't melt. You can boil water in them. I love the Heat n Serve from Tupperware because when you reheat in them they don't get that melted plastic ring around them. Plastic can be dangerous if it is ingested that is why Tupperware made these. Also they wash clean so easy. These products are the reason I sell it.
