Is there any benefit to "burping" the Tupperware or other such
container? Is the seal substantially more airtight after the burp than
before?

I'd think so. The less air pressure inside, the tighter the seal.
Some guy with a couple of teams of horses and a large two-piece globe
chock full o' vacuum demonstrated this a while back.

The Tupperware Song
http://www.davebarry.com/audio/Tupperware%20Blues.mp3
Some folks use waxed paper
Some folks use the Reynolds Wrap
Some folks use the plastic Baggie
To try to cover up the gap
You can use most anything
To keep your goodies from the air
But nothing works as well
As that good old Tupperware
(CHORUS)
`Cause it`s here
Whooaaa
Take a look at what we got
If you don`t try some and buy some
Don`t blame me when your turnips rot.
It has two more verses, covering other important Tupperware themes.
Verse Two stresses the importance of ``burping`` the air out of your
container to make sure your lid seals securely, and Verse Three points
out that you can make money by holding a Tupperware party in your home.

Tupperware way back in ... when was that? Late 80s? Early 90s?
Somewhere around there. And I had that column in the back of my mind
as I composed the question.
But this is the first time I've ever *heard* the song. Thank you.

I remember my mother hosting a Tupperware party back around 1950. She

bought from them at that time a pie saver which held just one slice of
pie, for packing in someone's lunch box. It finally wore out about 1990
and she was quite frustrated by the fact that Tupperware no longer made
that item.

I really don't know. And she died six years ago, so I can't ask.

I own a copy of "Stranger Than Fiction," the double CD album released
by "Don't Quit Your Day Job" Records - that is the version you heard,
with Ridley Pearson & Warren Zevon. I'm pretty sure I heard Dave sing
it once on "A Prairie Home Companion," too.
