+Tiwica Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 A new documentary film about Tupperware is out. Check it out here. Just so that this thread relates to geocaching, here is a tidbit of info....Back in the 1950's, during one of Tupperware's annual "Proms", the theme was "The Gold Rush". Company exec's buried prizes in Tupperware in front of their headquarters in Florida for their top performers. The prizes included Mink Coats, Diamond Jewlery, Double Boilers, etc. Each "cache" was marked with a shovel. This would make them the first geocachers to use Tupperware. Also the first "Tupperware cachers" were all women. You've come a long way baby! All of this thanks to the efforts of Ms. Brownie Wise, and of course Mr. Tupper. Would you leave a mink coat or diamonds in your Tupperware cache? Quote Link to comment

Don't think it had any mink coats or diamonds in it, though. Quote Link to comment

Some still think any of that is acceptable. No need to list them, they were marked, and only event caches anyway. Quote Link to comment
