NWL, long

My reasons for this pick...which may not hold water...it's coming into the canning season (Ball canning jars/lids).  Tupperware may be on the verge of bankruptcy (Rubbermaid make take up the slack there).  Now is the time that many folks may be looking or purchasing items as wedding gifts (June weddings).  Camping season is nearly upon us too (Coleman products + others).
