Rubbermaid and tupperware and ziploc are twentieth and twenty-first century brands that produce hard plastic, air tight, food storage. These food storage solutions are reusable, easily washable, and microwaveable.
Generally they come in multiple volumes that share their lid dimensions, so they can mix and match lids between containers. These containers also generally stack with one another for easy storage.
People in the early twenty-first century store leftover food in these containers and would be familiar with these brands and others. They are used for storage, transportation, and as platters for the food within.
Tupperware is a specific brand, but it has been genericized to refer to the food storage solution in general. There are many memes about these containers staining red with use of any sauce, and losing all the matching lids.
it's insane that there's a company called "rubbermaid" and it just sells, like. tupperware. and bins. and not weird sex paraphernalia
