Happy Friday, everyone! Hope your weekend is a delight.

*The Washington Post* reports, "[Food storage synonym Tupperware has 'substantial doubt' it can survive](https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2023/04/11/tupperware-downfall/?utm%5Fcampaign=wp%5Fmain&utm%5Fmedium=social&utm%5Fsource=facebook&mibextid=uc01c0&fbclid=IwAR2z4s3reCRv3mOI0h9zzaOooEpALhzin4omjNRPWXYU%5F4GxKw3qIBinoIQ)." This is where I learned that Tupperware parties are, in fact, still a thing -- it never occurred to me to wonder whether actual Tupperware was available in stores. I would just buy whatever was in front of me, which seems like... a problem for Tupperware, if that's not where it was. But, Tupperware truly *is* one of those brand names that's also used as the generic version of the thing -- like, as the piece notes, Kleenex and Band-Aid. And can you imagine if Band-Aid no longer existed, and that reference point simply went away? Wild.

So interesting, at the NYT (gifted link): "[The Brides Wore ’90s Dior. And ’00s Margiela.
