I use it for nozzle cleaning, using the 'atomic method'
I make them stick together with a soldering iron and cut of the excess material at the soldering point. this way you can also do some multicolored prints if you calculate how much meters of filament each part of a specific color needs.
Thinking of it , I might try to mix PLA and ABS this way.
Ive done the same, was more of a test, worked ok I made a 2.9mm metal tube and heated the tube connected to a solder-iron. pushed them together worked rather well
pulled it out. Voila.

or make them even shorter...
Oh wow - I love that muli-coloured bowl - what a great idea!
I also like the heated tube idea - that sounds a bit like the filament clamp project, home-made style. It's such a simple solution, I think I'll have a go at making it myself. In the meantime, I'll try some of the multi-coloured idea.
Thanks all :-)

I snap them to 50cm pieces or smaller, and put them in the bowden tube before other filament. (If the print has no retraction)
