What to do with a mussette?

I have accumulated a number of ‘freeby’ mussettes and wondering if they have any practical application outside the world of pro cycling? I can’t see myself carrying my packed lunch round my neck when they are much more sensible ways to carry stuff on a bike, so has anybody found a way of upcycling theses gizzets? So far my only use is as a wash-bag (toothbrush, shave kit, etc) for general traveling, not on the bike.

To be far I use mine quite a bit.
Handy for shoving some shopping in, when coming back on the motorbike.

I often have one bikepacking in case I need to load up with supplies at the end of the day before finding a bivi spot.

I've got one which lives in the boot of my car, with a load of carrier bags in so I can grab it to go into the supermarket.
Another one has my climbing boots and chalk bag in for when I'm off bouldering or hitting the climbing wall after work

Buy a larger musette then use that for carrying round all the smaller musettes.

A hat? A broach? A pterodactyl?

Wouldn't a larger musette be a muse?

If this thread has made anyone feel strangely left out, I'm happy to inform you that PlanetX have a range of obviously very useful* mussette bags for just £1.49 ... some have pictures of ice creams on, so I assume can double as a beach bag for your flip-flops and factor 50.
*if this thread is owt to go by.
