Random: It takes a scientist

A grad school friend turns her keen analytical eye on one of Nature's Mysteries:
The Life Cycle of Tupperware
This is why I hang out with scientists: they don't just observe phenomena -- they anatomize it. With pictures.

this is so very true

eta - and mismatching lids is why my tangerine now tastes like pesto sauce as the oil leaked out of the tupperware. grr

I gave up on Tupperware as soon as they started making lids for Pyrex dishes.

They even have vented lids for microwave use. I use my old plastic containers to hold potting soil and such now.
