You can use these to create cheap smoke bombs.
Wrap them in two layers of tinfoil - Dull side inward. Pull the tin foil off to form a 'handle' of sorts. Place a lighter / match underneath the foil-wrapped ball, and wait for ignition. I'm guessing the lack of oxygen mixed with the flammable qualities of the ping pong balls results in an inefficient combustion which results in a LOT of smoke.

Ping pong fuse?

Wow, no residue. They don't need oxygen, right? Celluloid bombs. Mystery writers could use them for all sorts of mayhem. I wonder how fast they'd burn if chopped up fine? Antique celluloid billiard balls are rumored to become impressive when touched with a lit cigar. Try to take fifty pounds of powdered ping pong balls on board a plane.

Wow. A stack of lightweight little ping pong balls burns like that, imagine the destruction of a nitrate film fire (well, I suppose one needn't imagine considering there are clips on here of just that lol)

I looked away for a second and the ping pong balls were gone
I hadn't thought about the lack of oxygen Consider that the smokeless powder burning inside a metallic cartridge requires no additional oxygen to burn, and that it's nitrocellulose, then you're probably right.
