I use Pringles cans to store tennis balls. Bonus: If you leave them in the can for a fair amount of time, they regain their bounce!
My buddy throws his wet paint rollers in them when he's on break. Just fasten the lid and it won't be dried out when you get back to work. Weird, but true.
@Tweetthis, that is beyond genius.
I myself like to use them as plant-holders. I know they're tall, but if you fill them with dirt it lowers the center of gravity and makes for a nice, long 'roots' holder. Paint it a pretty color and there you go!
Ever try to hold change in it? It may be long and narrow but trust me -- it is very satisfying to have a stack of change that high!

I use them to store uncooked (of course) pasta...
you can cut them down to any size you like and cover them, add a pictues and have neat pin/desk itme holders.
I use old Pringles cans as candle molds. They make awesome pillar candles and you can peel off the can once the wax is hard!
The most unusual I saw was from a research group studying raptors. They would catch the hawks in a mist net, and carefully remove the bird. Next they would get vital stats from the bird, including its weight -- this is where the Pringles can comes in. In less than 5 seconds they could gently stuff the bird into a Pringles can, weigh it, and gently remove again with as little stress as possible to the bird. Then they banded it and relased into the wild.
