What form does sodium usually take in today's society?

For a science project I need to include a segment on how sodium is used in our society, sort of like salt but I need really unusual uses, can anyone help? :)

    The first thing that came to mind was liquid sodium is used as a coolant in fast reactors, like Monju in Japan or the Phenix in France. It is also used in sodium vapor lamps in street lights.
