It's not something I would ever consider packing.
OK, I'll take that as a challenge:
1. As fake blood if unexpectedly cast in a spaghetti western.
2. As one serving of vegetable if you were on the right kind of diet, according to the USDA.
3. As a pillow for a very small bed.
4. As a last minute Xmas stocking stuffer for Ronald McDonald.
5. As wallpaint when visiting Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. Oompa loompa, doobedee doo....
6. As a weapon, to give to Col. Mustard in the conservatory.
7. To make your regular glasses into rose-colored glasses.
I rest my case!
