            TUPPERWARE ANNOUNCES NAME CHANGE TO TUPPERWARE BRANDS AND
        COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION AND FINANCING OF SARA LEE CORPORATION'S
                            DIRECT SELLING BUSINESSES


         ORLANDO, FLA, DECEMBER 5, 2005 -- Tupperware Corporation (NYSE:TUP)
announced today that it has changed its corporate name to TUPPERWARE BRANDS
CORPORATION from Tupperware Corporation in conjunction with the completion of
its acquisition of Sara Lee Corporation's direct selling businesses.

         "This name change will reinforce that we are a multi-brand,
multi-category direct sales company," said Rick Goings, Chairman and CEO.
"Additionally, it will make it easier for our numerous new beauty companies to
communicate that they are part of a family of direct selling companies,
including those acquired today from Sara Lee Corporation, and that, in most
cases, they will not be selling Tupperware products," Goings continued.

         Sara Lee Corporation's direct selling businesses are concentrated
primarily in Latin America and Asia Pacific and sell beauty and personal care
products. This acquisition is expected to provide top-line growth opportunity
and reduce risk by diversifying the product line to more consumables and
balancing geographic contribution. As a result of the transaction, TUPPERWARE
BRANDS CORPORATION now has a combined independent sales force of 1.9 million and
annualized revenue of $1.8 billion. The purchase price was $556 million, subject
to a post-closing working capital adjustment.

                                     (more)

         The acquisition, retirement of $250 million of existing debt and
related fees and expenses are being funded through cash on hand and borrowings
under the Company's new 5-year $200 million secured revolving credit facility
and $775 million secured term loan. The term loan will carry an interest rate of
LIBOR plus 150 basis points. Mandatory principal repayments of 0.25% per
quarter, or about $2 million are required, with the remaining $723 million due
seven years from the date of the closing. The company expects to continue to pay
the current annual dividend of 88 cents per share, and the new debt covenant
structure allows the payment.

         The Company will be holding a breakfast meeting at the Four Seasons
Hotel in New York from 8-10 am on December 13, 2005, to discuss the transition
of Sara Lee Corporation's direct selling businesses and provide the 2006
outlook. The meeting will be webcast and archived at www.tupperware.com.
