I use them to hold up the frozen ice cream so my fingers don't get stickey!
I also use them to make a power measure for reloading. Just take an empty shell and cut it to size for a specific load of a specific powder, epoxy the shell to the popsicle stick and you have a great powder measure if you don't need to weigh each charge. You can write on the stick the powder, weight of the charge, bullet and caliber! It works great! I use it with pistol loads!
