I was sent to there for a job interview by the Dole office after seasonal work at Heinz on the sealers around 1973, but didn't get the job. Apparently work on the moulding machines is very monotonous, I said that I hadn't liked it at Heinz because of the repetitiveness of the seemingly never ending throw-stacking from the conveyor belts, so the interviewer and I too deemed that I wouldn't have liked it there. Though after reading what Tupperware products contained back then I'm glad I didn't get the job, as breathing in hot plastic fumes containing not only BPA, but also arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury was definitely not healthy. A pity really as they produced some very nice and handy products.
