6 QUOTES WITH «TUPPERWARE»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word Tupperware.
1
Ken Jennings
People are using GPS systems to find millions of little hidden objects throughout the world - often as simple as a piece of Tupperware hidden in the woods. You go to a website, you get the latitude and longitude to get the specific location of a certain specific hiding space, and then you go there and see if you can find it.
2
Jane Krakowski
I am someone who puts their takeout or leftovers into the Tupperware and stores it in the refrigerator overnight.
3
Michael Moore
Capitalism is an organized system to guarantee that greed becomes the primary force of our economic system and allows the few at the top to get very wealthy and has the rest of us riding around thinking we can be that way, too - if we just work hard enough, sell enough Tupperware and Amway products, we can get a pink Cadillac.
4
Joan Rivers
I've had so much plastic surgery, when I die they will donate my body to Tupperware.
5
Si Robertson
I'm always just carrying a Tupperware cup, ever since my mom went to a Tupperware party and got 'em. I've left them strewn all over the U.S. and Europe. I drink iced tea out of them.
6
Douglas Rushkoff
Facebook has never been merely a social platform. Rather, it exploits our social interactions the way a Tupperware party does. Facebook does not exist to help us make friends, but to turn our network of connections, brand preferences and activities over time - our 'social graphs' - into money for others.
