Guess you could make rather stiff lipgloss and re-use the cases?
Beeswax, mineral oil, melted crayon.
Or make crayons and put them in the cases.
Wonder what would happen if you melted together several of the
rubbery bits and tried to reconstitute them? You could look up the
Material Safety Data Sheet and consult with a polymer chemist. You
could ask the company that made them if they have an idea.
I think the cases, with the little screw-up mechanism, are more
valuable than the dried up glue bits. But then, that's me. Is it
April Fools' Day yet? Jane
