They are not really selling overpriced plastic containers or cleaning

"business opportunities" and the dream of the good life. A life of being
your own boss. Greed, as in most schemes/scams is always a big part of
it.

And yet just this morning, I saw a newish Nissan car with Tupperware
signs all over it.

I don't know what's going on there. I read that they had gone bankrupt.

 Chapter 11 bankruptcy enables a company to reorganize and keep
operating.
 Tupperware filed Chapter 11 last September.

Ages ago, tupperware had some very good products. But many years ago, they got greedy and their prices went stratospheric. Competitors offered similar items almost as good without exorbitant pricing, and no marketing bullshit.  No "parties".  You could just buy the shit at a store; take it home and use it.
Tupperware had a golden goose, but they killed to to get the last bit of gold out.
They screwed themselves.
