Rubber band actually has many uses.
Some girls use it to tie their hair. Some people use it to shoot at other people. 
I remember when I was young, when the pages of my exercise books start falling off, I will use a Rubber Band as the spine of the books. 
I have also chained up many Rubber bands before to play a game called Zero Point. It is a game which I played with my friends with a rubber-band "rope". The aim of the game is to jump over the "rope" at several "stages" - 1)on the floor 2)at the ankle 3)at the knee 4)at the hip 5)at the waist 6)at the shoulder 7)at the ear 8)at the top of the head and 9)one hand span over the head. This game is really fun.
Many people in my country use Rubber bands to tie up unfinished packets of tidbits. Food sellers also use Rubber bands to tie up the packets of food.
How about you? How do you or your country people use Rubber bands?

lol =D I know how to play zero point too.. lol =D YUp, rubber band has got lots of purposes and usage, other than what u have mentioned, we will use it to use paper bullets, or making stars with it using fingers, or even the game of transfering the whole star from one's fingers to another person.. hehe

I guess the usage would more or less be the same.
Rubber band is used mainly to bound a bunch of stuff together.
When I went on my tour of Europe, I see them using rubber bands to tie mostly papers and plastic wrapped food together.
Zero Point game eh? That was like so darn long ago when I last played it. It was a lot of fun then. Getting a packet of rubber bands was cheap. And making the rope was easy too.
Heh heh heh... all those fun recess games we used to go nutty over. What a long time ago that was!

The worse thing to use rubber bands for is your hair, I know it's easy to use them.. But it cuts your hair so badly that it gives you major split ends.. I use claw hair clips... I do use rubber bands though for holding things together like yes packages as you mentioned in your post..

same things you use them for. only we call the game "chinese garter". My brothers used them to shoot at things with small pieces of papers that are slightly wet and folded tightly as bullets.
