=== 1960β2000 === Tupperware expanded to Europe in 1960 when Mila Pond hosted Tupperware parties in [[Weybridge]], [[England]], and other locations around the world.<ref name="bbcnews11">{{cite news| title= What is today's American Dream?| url= https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-12688643 | work=[[BBC News]] | date= 28 March 2011 | access-date= 2011-03-29}}</ref> A comparison technique called "carrot calling" was used by the representatives wherein they would travel [[door-to-door]] in a neighborhood and ask housewives to compare [[carrot]]s placed in a Tupperware container with anything that they would have ordinarily left them in. These would lead to scheduling of a Tupperware party.<ref name="bbcnews11"/> In 1977, [[Rexall]], the owner of the Tupperware brand, sold its namesake drugstores and renamed itself Dart Industries. Dart merged with [[Kraft Foods]] to form Dart & Kraft. The company demerged, with the former Dart assets renamed to Premark International. [[Tupperware Brands]] was spun off from Premark in 1996.<ref>{{cite news |title=Tupperware Spinoff Is Set for May 31 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1996/05/20/business/tupperware-spinoff-is-set-for-may-31.html |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=20 May 1996}}</ref> Tupperware also produced limited products outside its core preparation and storage lines. The Shape O is a toddler toy/puzzle, first produced in 1969. Ten different geometric shapes are inserted into corresponding holes in the ball to complete the game.{{cn|date=May 2025}}
