I use the Ziploc containers to store cross country ski wax after scraping it off. Then when the need arises, i melt the wax in the microwave and apply directly to the skis.

Organized Legos
I love using Ziploc Containers for small building blocks such as Legos. They are very small and easy to lose, so the best thing for me to do is get a Ziploc Container and placed all my Legos parts in first, which that way I don't loose any pieces.
