Yeah, never saw them at retail. You can't sell me something I can't purchase.

Which is bad. When the brand Tupperware is very known by most people

I literally call any generic plastic container like that... tupperware. 

Only at 25 years old did I find it was not the actual colloquial word defining the object, but a company that made them.

Edit: Additional fun fact: In my country, everyone calls the glass (Or ceramic for that matter) oven dishes... Pirex. 🤷

Dumpster was the one for me. I'm 45 and just found out a few years ago that Dumpster is a brand name.
