For many home cooks in Canada, the refrigerator is a graveyard of forgotten leftovers, hidden in a jumble of mismatched, nondescript containers. The sight is often uninspiring, making the prospect of reheating last night's dinner a chore rather than a pleasure. A new solution, however, is blending nostalgia with practicality to transform this everyday experience. Tupperware has launched its Heritage Collection, a series of reissued classic containers that are as functional as they are fashionable, aiming to make food storage a delight.
A Splash of Retro Colour for the Modern Kitchen
The immediate appeal of the Heritage Collection lies in its aesthetic. The line offers a charming mix of pastel blue, pink, yellow, and green, evoking a strong sense of mid-century nostalgia. For those preferring a more contemporary palette, there are also tonal sets in blue, teal, green, purple, and pink. The unifying throwback feature across all colourways is the iconic sunburst or starburst pattern on the lids, a signature design element from Tupperware's history.
The collection is extensive, providing numerous options for Canadian households. Shoppers can choose from a 36-piece set with bowls ranging from 1.45 to eight cups, perfect for a variety of storage needs. For dry goods and bulk items, there is a popular 10-piece nested canister set that holds up to 24 cups total. The vintage-inspired touch extends to pitchers, available in charming pastels or a rich papaya hue, which come in 1-gallon single sizes or as a pair in 1.5- and 2-quart sizes.
Classic Tupperware Functionality Meets Form
While the look is retro, the performance is classic Tupperware. The company, a leader in food storage for nearly 80 years, has equipped the Heritage Collection with its renowned technology. With the exception of the pitchers, every piece features the brand's patented "Instant Seal" airtight lids—often called the "burping seal"—to lock in freshness and prevent spills. This ensures leftovers stay as fresh as the day they were stored.
Practical design touches abound. The containers have ridged rims for easy handling and are dishwasher safe for simple cleanup. A key space-saving feature is that many pieces in the sets are designed to nest or stack within one another for compact storage in cabinets or drawers. This makes organizing a kitchen efficient and visually appealing.
Where to Find the Collection in Canada
The Tupperware Heritage Collection is readily available to Canadian consumers through major online retailers. The standout 10-piece nested canister set is priced at $60 on Amazon.ca. For those looking to fully overhaul their storage, Target offers larger 30-piece sets in jewel tones for around $72, though reviewers note the importance of following sealing instructions by pressing thumbs in the centre of the lid for a proper fit.
Other available items include uniformly-sized stacking canister sets, starting over $20, and the stylish pitchers, which begin at $29. By combining timeless design with proven food-preservation technology, Tupperware's Heritage Collection offers a functional upgrade that brings a smile back to the simple act of storing leftovers.
