What would happen if they added a bit of vodka, tequila, rum, gin, triple sec, sweet and sour mix and Coca-Cola, and threw in a couple of icebergs, just for laughs. I think that would have made a Long Island Tea Party in Boston. If they had invited George the III, they could have gotten him drunk enough that he would have repealed the tax and laughed it off.

Some names don't mean much but often names are chosen because they are clever or sound good or even poetic. The Boston Coffee Party or the Boston Sugar Party don't sound as good since we talk about tea parties in a different sense so it is like a joke.

If the Brits had come over with a party in mind. If they'd wanted a
gathering of friends for to dine. I'd glady have joined them,for tea and a scone,for Yorkshire Pudding,for meat on a bone. If they'd used their fine China or merely tupperware, I'd have joined them for tea. I'd have glady been there. Would it have been in the papers? Living on through the ages? Would it have been written by scholars covering so many pages? I think not, dear friend,I think not , my dear. But maybe next time, we'll all have some beer.

No Tupperware would have floated and the desired effect would have been lost. However , Had it not occurred, it may have resulted in being able to get a good cup of tea in Boston. I swear they make it from Harbour water.

I don't think tupperware was around when the Boston Tea Party took place and if it was why would people want to throw it off a boat , was there to much taxes on tupperware?

The Boston Tea Party was named that way after the people of Boston rebelled about high taxes in tea and other goods. they called it "Taxation without representation". The people had taxes but the money was used for the king of Great Britain instead of using it to build a bridge for the people. We have taxes but the government should use it to built highways and other things. Anyways the people rebelled and when the boat of tea came they dressed up as the Red Coats and threw the tea in to the sea and i guess that's how they came up with the name.I guess they called it party because they planed it and gathered up.

what did you smoke? haha.... actually, the story would be quite different because people would have probably wondered what this Tupperware was that they were throwing into the harbor... and perhaps some women might have jumped in after it... after getting a good look.... and the world would have been in awe of this new convenient object... too bad they didn't have electric refrigerators to store left-overs....

Hmmm...that name just seems to pop the air out of it. I don't want to be too modular and brand it as a misnomer, but it just sounds a bit artificial....plastic almost. Perhaps it would be best if you just put a lid on this idea for now, but keep it in storage. There will be plenty of events leftover to be renamed and it may serve well in the future. I can easily pitcher it happening. Of course nothing in life is airtight. I'd like to seal my answer with this thought: historians know the best scoop.

Much is in a name.
It could not be the tupperware party
because tupperware is a modern
invention.
