The Old eMail Bag:

            An e-mail from Ron, the West Coast Flash, chided me for not taking on a serious issue facing most of us. Noting the gravity of this matter I chose to run the entire message. 

Dear Nonsense Blog Editor:

Being a new subscriber, I appreciate your "market basket" approach to topics of the day.  There is one topic that I have yet to see in your publication, however, and I must say it is a glaring omission: Tupperware!  I for one am outraged (and I'm not alone) that in this modern age, work-a-day American Citizens are subjected to the infuriating, degrading, and entirely fruitless experience of trying to find a matching Tupperware container AND lid.  First, one must hunt through the endless cupboard of plastic parts, jars, and church directories, only to gain a false sense of victory at finding the "perfect" sized container for the need at-hand.  However, that euphoric feeling is only a cruel setup for the crashing disappointment of the following 3 to 7 minutes spent looking for a lid that will actually fit on the perfect container.  Eventually, one must settle for a container that is mis-sized or go with the perfect container and Saranwrap/rubberband work-around.  Either way, the result is a tragic disappointment. 

 The dark-side of this very real pandemic issue is that Tupperware has become the socks of the kitchen!  Not only are domestic issues exacerbated by this laundry-kitchen double-hit, the Hope-Discouragement Cycle (HDC) brought on by Tupperware alone is one of the leading causes of culinary depression in Americans aged 26 to 65.  I recently read an article citing that the travel mug/lid syndrome is showing signs of following this same dangerous pathology!  Fortunately, Americans tend to outgrow Tupperware-induced HDC around age 65 when their hormonal levels shift in the production of Organizatzione (the hormone also responsible for orderly garages, attics, silverware drawers, closets, and yes, even travel mugs).  Research must be funded to help stop Tupperware-induced HDC for those who are in the target age-range.  If technology can give us the TiVo Season-Pass; if science can give us the Sham-Wow; if government can build Interstate Highways in Hawaii... THEN WHY MUST WE SUFFER THE TUPPERWARE?!
