Rubbermaid Modular Canisters, Food Storage Container, 5 Cup, Racer Red

I really like Rubbermaid products. I am trying to replace a few of my old tattered food storage containers. These are a good size for storing as well as for use in the microwave.

We needs lids! OMG! We lose them, we break them, whatever. How many people must post about this before you start selling the lids seperate? It's costing you profit. People will buy another product instead because you irritated them. Start selling replacement lids and your profits will skyrocket. Those red lids are bad, they always crack. The newer blue ones, plastic middle, rubber outer sealing lip, they are awsome. Do not microwave in these people. It burns them and that's what that white stuff that won't wash off is. (Also, you eat some of the chemicals these are made from when you do that)

I'll join the chorus of those requesting a "lids only option." I can't believe that after all these years, Rubbermaid hasn't had hundreds or thousands of requests for replacement lids. The only reason I can think of that this hasn't happened is because they want to make people spend more money to buy whole new containers--WHAT A WASTE!!

Carizel3 hit the nail on the head! Please start offering the opportunity for replacement lids! I do not want to replace the entire container because I need a new lid, there is enough waste on this planet and every little bit will help. PLEASE become more environmentally conscientious and start selling replacement lids.

I loved the product. I loved that they were square, made much more sense. But I've noticed that the lids have a smell and tacky feel to them over time. How long are these products suppose to last? Do they need to be replaced every 3 years? I've own Tupperware decades and only now do I notice the tacky touch to the lids.
