Typically honey contains the botulinum toxin. This is why you can't feed it to infants or the otherwise immuno-compromized. That being said, honey has been used for ages as a wound care agent, probably the most recent large scale applications would have occurred during WWI. There have been several noteworthy clinical trials whose outcomes have confirmed the benefits that honey can play in wound care. http://ijl.sagepub.com/content/5/1/40.abstract

Fat and baby wipes...disgusting. This is why you're not supposed to put either of those things down the drain or toilet.
A friend of mine does sewer work for a living, people flush everything and pour grease down the drain constantly! Then they complain when their toilet or sink gets clogged up all the time and "Why didn't you fix it right the last time?"
I feel bad for municipalities that have to deal with garbage that gets out down the drains. Seems like a need for PSAs about what not to send swirling.

Salt (iodized and non iodized). Salt tends to get overlook as necessary nutrients go. Plus, iodized or not, it's a good for wound care and as a mouth rinse. It can also be employed in long-term food preservation and various cleaning wounds. As well as, preventing goiters when it is iodized.

Lard keeps for a long time and can be used in any application requiring fat or grease. Aside from cooking/edible uses you can make soap, use it for skin protection and for any mechanical polishing or lubrication purposes. This really applies to any natural fat, but if we're picking pre-packaged then, lard it is.

Grain alcohol or ethanol, which was already mentioned. Sanitizing, and fuel (for fire starting or engines.)
Failing that, I think they're making Twinkies again and there's always Spam.

Hey now! Anchovies are awesome on pizza! You just don't know what you're talking about. Anchovy, spinach, and garlic. Feta and kalmata olives are optional depending on how much beer you want to chug to displace the salt. ; )

Makes me wonder about something that probably never factors into the "unhealthy body look" we associate with the doll: how much of Barbie's look is to cut down on the amount of plastic used, thus cutting costs?

The odd thing is, public school teachers are starting to be required to dress a little more formal. Business casual is starting to evolve back into "shirt and tie." I should add that this is for a group of grown adults who have to be told "If you look like you're going to the beach or the club, it's probably not work appropriate."

Safety razor FTW! Seriously the first year you break even, if not save some cash. After that its just a matter of buying good shaving cream and blades (which run about 18cents or so a piece.)
I keep meaning to write up a blog post for a friend with the benefits, not only monetary, of using a safety razor.

Nope. Maybe next time I make it to the Japanese Grocer that's (somewhat, 45min away) near me. I was seriously surprised by the chili garlic, it's refreshing in this off sort of way. Same as the OP said spicy food is cooling on a hot day.
Also FYI takoyaki sauce is awesome on lots of foods.

Contemplating how best to get my pigs to stand still with this on so I can justify the purchase. Yeah, not seeing that happen! But still, OMG squee explosion of adorbs!

The money goes to guinea pig rescue which makes it extra awesome.

Not sure where from but I remember l leaning about rat kings awhile back. The subsequent heebie jeebies and nightmares made me wish I hadn't. At least, while still rodents, squirrels are cute and fuzzy.

Aw he's adorable. Skunks were on my short list of possible pets but they take a lot of work and care. Here's hoping he find his way back to the wild!
