The premise

Here’s the bit.

Maude is fed up with the mountain of mismatched food containers crammed into her kitchen and wants to throw some out, but her partner Doug insists they might need them. Later, while she relaxes in a candlelit bath, the power cuts out and she creeps through the dark house calling for Doug, only to find containers multiplying everywhere before she vanishes. The tale turns out to be a scary story a woman is telling her partner Brad, who dismisses it as too much TV and goes off to set up the evening's viewing. Alone in her own kitchen, the storyteller opens her container drawer and pulls out one holding a tiny, trapped Maude, gloats that this is the fate of anyone who tries to throw out the household plastics, and tucks her back into the drawer for the night.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

Seriously, these things are taking over.

All I'm saying is that too much Tupperware can be a dangerous thing.

This is what happens to people who try to throw away the Tupperware in the house.

A little extra
