I can't stand the way a plastic container looks after something tomato based has stained it. I have tried bleach, etc but seems to be permanent. So I am slowly moving away from plastic to glass. I use Pyrex or Anchor Hocking containers, and use a piece of plastic wrap over the lip if I am putting something red in it.
Another reason is I used a container once to hold powder laundry detergent. No matter how many times I washed it, it always contaminated whatever I put in it with the taste and smell of laundry detergent.
