Difference between Rubbermaid and Tupperware
Keeping food fresh for an extended period of time has presented quite a challenge throughout the ages. People discovered that cold temperatures can have this effect and kept their food fresher under such conditions. Still, at warmer temperatures they had to consume products faster as foods couldn't remain edible over time. Over the years, research has led to the invention of refrigerators which was a point in time which revolutionized life as we knew it by preserving food at cool and cold temperatures. This partially solved the issue. But to keep food fresh in the refrigerator we were left with few options. Plastic wraps work to an extent but it’s a bit difficult to stack food containers covered in plastic wrap, let alone taking food out of the house for any number of reasons. Along came Rubbermaid and Tupperware to answer that challenge.
