Food is pretty good. When it comes to things I eat, food is definitely in my top two favorites. But you know what I hate? I think you're going to agree with me about what I hate, because the thing I hate is pretty universal. You wanna know what it is? Of course you do, that's why you're still reading. Well I'll tell you what I hate. I hate food that's gone bad. Spoiled food is definitely one of my least favorite types of food. You know, it just tastes yucky, it smells off, I looks like its gone rotten, and it's just not fun to eat. Normally, spoiled food would be a problem for me, because, you know, I don't eat all the food I have at once, and if you go too long without eating something, it'll spoil. But recently I found this totally cool thing that completely solved my spoilage problem. Its called "Tupperware", and it definitely gets the job done.

Seriously, Tupperware is like magic or something. I don't know how it does it, but it totally keeps your food fresh and stuff. I even told my friend about it:

dakewlguy12: omg!
andysfriend37: wut?
dakewlguy12: TUPPERWARE!
andysfriend37: lolz

See? He thought it was awesome too. But then I got to thinking, like, what's the story behind it? I bet everyone in history that's famous, like Elvis or the king of Scotland or Jesus or whatever had Tupperware. I started thinking about the history of Tupperware and I'm pretty sure I've got it figured out.

So, I figure Tupperware was invented by the Chinese. I mean, they invented like...paper and writing and fireworks and finger-traps and those weird dragon things they have at parades and basically everything else, so they probably did Tupperware too. The first Tupperware was probably a pig's bladder stretched over half a coconut or something crazy like that. Then like, the Greeks I think invaded the Chinese. So the Greeks probably found the pigs bladder coconut thing and thought "We could use this for storing stuffed grape leaves" or something.

So the Greeks were around for a while, right? But then they all moved to Italy and became Romans because they saw "Roman Holiday" and thought it looked pretty cool. Then Marco Polo came over for some pizza or something, and the Romans told him that he could make a ton of money in his spare time by hosting Tupperware parties and selling to his friends.

So Marco Polo went to America and had a huge Tupperware party. President Roosevelt was there, and he bought a ton of that stuff and started hosting his own Tupperware parties all over the country. He sold a ton, too, because everyone was like "Well, if ole Teddy likes it, so do we!" And since then it's been really popular in the states.

At least, that's what I figure happened.
