People are moving away from plastic containers for food. Cheap disposable Glad and Rubbermaid containers also made a huge dent in their business.

Since PFAS and PFOS is basically in all food container packaging these days, I've switched to using glass containers for everything I can. Pyrex if I can manage it.

Rubbermaid makes better tupperware than Tupperware does.
