Can’t Find A Match

August 13th, 2008 · 6 Comments

We have these Glad containers all over the fricken house.  I am constantly stepping on them, seeing them on the deck, in the basement, bedrooms, and in drawers all over the house.  That’s because getting into, playing with, and moving containers are one of Thing 3’s favorite activities.  Which is all fine and good until you actually need to find a matching pair.

I just don’t get it.  These things don’t come in that many sizes.  How can I have all these tops and bottoms, with NOT A SINGLE MATCH?!  It is soooo frustrating.

    Because some of them are Glad, some are Ziploc, and some are off-brand and each one is a little bit different! We have the same problem. I don’t even bother putting them away anymore because Suzi goes into the cabinet and pulls them all back out! The kitchen floor is constantly littered with them.

    Maybe we can start a plastic container swap. LOL I saw glad containers first and right away my thought was what you wrote about! Good one!

    I am SO with you on this! I just ranted about this yesterday (to anyone who would listen). If you leave the covers on them, they take up too much space, but just throw them in there, and you are DOOMED!

    We have a good mix of glad, ziploc, tupperware & rubbermaid. Packing lunches is a mental workout. It’s like an exercise for monkeys…find the match and you get a banana!
