Pros: interesting size has interesting uses, cute, warranty
Cons: lids tough to snap on
The Bottom Line: Final recommendation? Don't run out and buy them BUT when you're at a Tupperware party and MUST buy something, this is not a bad way to go...

| LRGuis's Full Review: Tupperware 6-Piece Classic Sheer Midgets Set |
Hey! Who are you calling short?
In a world of political correctness, Tupperware Midgets have stood the test of time. I admit to adoring Tupperware but for all the wrong reasons. I am one of those people who get swept up in the mob mentality of a home party. My photographs are strewn about in plastic containers but I go to a scrapbooking party and I'm overwhelmed and must buy, buy, buy. I go to a Tupperware party and come home with containers that look so pretty and promise to organize my life in ways I never dreamt possible.
6-Piece Classic Sheer Midgets Set
6-Piece Set...if Tupperware really wanted to get technical they could have called this a 12-piece set. Your set will include six clear "Midgets" capable of holding a maximum of 2 ounces. Though not necessary, I'd consider it 2 ounce of non-liquid items. With these clear containers you'll receive six lids which snap on to place. My set has a navy blue set of lids - Tupperware changes their lid colors from time-to-time.
Sheer...containers are clear in nature allowing you to easily see what you decided to store in these little babies. Markings are included on each container indicating 1-ounce, 1.5-ounce, and 2-ounce levels.
Midgets...obviously this refers to the size. Two ounces of anything may not seem like much when you're an adult. Give a three year old a whole "Dupperware" of anything (even if it is only two ounces) and he thinks he won the lottery. Two ounces is contained within a container of approximately 3 inches high.
Use these? Me?
~Dieters~ If you really are serious about measuring your food, eating only your daily allotment, a 2-ounce container may come in very handy.
~Key Hiders~ My aunt swears by a Tupperware Midget in her effort to hide a house key outdoors "just in case". A whole is dug in her flower box, a key inserted into a midget, lid put in place, container buried. Granted, now that I've shared her secret she'll have to bag the entire idea - but feel free to use her plan for yourself. (Just make sure you can remember where you hid the midget.)
~Button Holders~ I have a midget to hold stray buttons that I come across until they make it to the actual sewing basket. Sometimes they stay in the midget and the midget gets placed in the basket.
~Packing~ Midgets make great Tylenol or Aspirin holders when traveling - or in my case vitamin holders since I buy multi-vitamins in very large bottles.
~Tiny Bakers~ When cupcake decorating time comes around I fill various midgets with different toppings thereby controlling how many sprinkles end up in the little hands of my baking assistants.
In The End...
These are handy little containers are covered by a Lifetime Warranty which I have never had occasion to utilize. Mine make it just fine through the dishwasher and, I'm sure due to what I store and don't store, they have not stained. That said, other Tupperware products I own are now a lovely shade of pastel orange thanks to tomato-based products.
The lids snap into place firmly but they are not the easiest lids to put into place. Once on - great, I feel good about the seal - while I'm attempting to snap them on you may hear a few mumbled expletives. Certainly do not expect a young child to put the lids on on their own.
Just plain "cute", potentially useful, and another organization item that sucked me in during a Tupperware demonstration. Surely there's a support group for people like me?
