A Foreverware Timeline

[friendof_dorothy]

So I've made a timeline of events related to Foreverware, and froodle has informed me that it may be of interest to the comm (fandom? I don't really know the right words) so...Here we go!


195? - Foreverware is created. I say 1950's over the very early 60's, because Betty is wearing what is very obviously meant to be a 50's style dress + hat combination. Probably mid 50s? Def not late. But all my period knowledge is Australia specific so. I could be wrong on that one.

1962 - Beatrice Pillsbury (Yellow) joins the Foreverware Family.

1964 - Mr Willson kicks the bucket. Betty suffers some kind of breakdown and begins to seal her children and herself away in big Foreverware containers at night. I presume Beatrice does as well but ???

1966 - Imogene Crocker (Pink/orange) joins the Foreverware Family.

1968 - Winifried Swanson (Green) joins the Foreverware Family, she has one daughter (that we know of) and a husband. She seals herself and her daughter at night. Husband is unknown.

19?? - Phylis Stofer (Blue) joins the Foreverware Family. Pattern suggests she joined in 1970, but she only mentions that she's been a member since at least 1981 (Jimmy Carter was president from 1977-1981). Her outfit suggests some point in the early to mid 70's.

1981-1991 no new members. Who came to the party, at least.

1991 - Marylin Teller almost joins the Foreverware Family. Whinnie is having issues with her husband. Betty is dethroned by her sons.

1992 - Foreverware is for sale at World O' Stuff. Whinnie and Phyllis at least are still sealing. Others are unknown.

so it's not super impressive, but it did help me get everything straight in my head! Hopefully someone else might be able to make use of it <3

This is awesome, thank you so much for taking the time to share this! I added a bunch of Foreverware-related tags to the entry, just for ease of reference. I know we see Winnifred Swanson in hope in the head gang, but I don't remember seeing Phyllis (blue) after the pilot -where did you spot her?

thanks <3 I honestly have no idea how to work Dreamwitdth so thank you for being patient! I can't remember what episode exactly(I binged the whole series in about 3 days), but she was standing in the street in one of the pre-Dash episodes. I only noticed her because her outfit is so bright lol.

You're using a comm that ended up being created because I kept getting locked out of Livejournal or winding up stuck in moderation qs - there's a long and proud history of winging it and muddling through in these parts ;D

update: I went to rewatch Zombies in P.Js, and it seems that Yellow (Beatrice), Phylis (Blue) and Winified (Green) are all fighting over a teddybear. No idea how i missed it....

[froodle]

On my god, as soon as you said that I remembered that shot. i had 100% forgotten they were there. I remembered the twins in that scene, just not the Foreverware ladies themselves.

Or stored in tupperware? Or like, modular tupperware where you remove partitions and click boxes together to form the size and shape contained you need.
