Tupperware

American brands are so common here, I'm not surprised anymore to see them. But Tupperware has a special niche in U.S. pop culture. After WWII, when women were urged to go home and pursue traditional families, Tupperware parties in the home became a popular way to earn a little extra money.

Here's a Tupperware truck I spotted last fall. I don't know if they use the house-party model here, but it is apparently still a world-wide brand, judging from the company's web site. As usual, the Slovaks favor small, energy-efficient vans.
