To tie up my wife's braids! (out of my way!)

On the whistle idea, if you hold it tight, across your lips, it acts as a reed, to make a shrill whistle.

I have given it to kids, so they could do this. (on the job)

Tie a tin can to the bumper to make a rattle, for somebody that needs it!

My kids have wasted many a roll, "playing surveying".

Tie it to the tail of a cow, to enable others to spot her faster. (She was prolapsed, and I had stitched her up)

Tie it to a stone, and throw it as an Olympic sport!

Rocket streamer, for a return system, for an estes rocket!

Around my head, to play "Rambo the Surveyor" (Kids too!)

More to come...

I like this one Whenever I'm in the woods I like to tie a piece to my glasses so if they get snagged off my face and go flying I have half a chance of finding them again.
I was tying up my tomatoes today (Its Australia) with very same stuff. Brilliant for that sort of thing.
And yes sure does make very good bandaids.

It's also very good for binding things while you glue something together as it doesn't stick to the glue. Well not PVA.

Similarly a mask for when you don't want silicone all over something.

I've had dairy farmers come and get it to tie round cows tails as someone else said.
Coming in different colours is meaningful for them.

Highly versatile stuff, and cheap considering the multitasking use.

To tie up the individual pieces of the 200' tape, that a big truck ran over, and it is now in several pieces.

We tie it to the luggage when flying. Easy to spot in the pile.

Well, it's that time of year again. Who has good deals on flagging? Time to buy a few boxes of it. Pink Glo, Orange Glo, and maybe a bit of Red Glo.

Who has the good deals on flagging?
