I've often repaired stripped screw holes with them. Cram the toothpick in, break it off, fill the thin surrounding space with wood glue, then you can screw your thing back in.
I also once repaired the laminate flooring in our old house. Over time one line of boards began to slide along the whole length of the kitchen, and we'd left enough wiggle room under the baseboard trim that when the track slid all the way against the far wall, a gap appeared at the near wall. Removed the trim, kicked the length of boards back in the middle spot, jammed as many toothpicks as we could into the gap at both ends of the kitchen, and put the trim back on. It held until we sold the house, anyway.
Also, I use them to hold together rolled-up lunchmeat for my stepson.
