We use one to reflect the sun away from our coll box on camping trips. Keeps it cool for an extra day or so…

If you’re into sewing, they make good liner for small, soft-sided coolers.

*loves the radiator reflector panel idea*
The shiny ones could be cut into decorations , christmas , kid’s bedroom etc.
They could also be a part of a homemade coolbox methinks……Old plastic box for the inside, put that in a bigger plastic box, fill the gaps with broken up bits of polystyrene,cover the top bit between the big and small box with tape and put shiny sunshade on the outside to reflect heat , using the lid of the larger box as a lid….. *is secretly rather proud of that idea*

I’ve heard of them being used to make solar cookers and reflectors.

How about as a light reflector for photography? Bloggers who take photos of food, crafts, kids, etc might find this extremely useful.
