Q: Do you know of a product(s) or invention(s) that became famous and well-known to solve a problem that they weren’t originally created for?? If “yes”, we’d love to hear your ideas!

|
Why do we ask? We’re trying to build an archive/catalog of such products and inventions that were “repurposes” of sorts.
Example #1: The blue pill was not originally invented to treat E.D.
Example #2: WD-40 was not originally invented as an all-purpose lubricant.
