Used in lots of foods (its what makes ice cream white ) also used in the manufacture of cigarette filter tips.

Titanium dioxide is also used as a pigment for painting white lines around football pitches and tennis courts... and lots more things.

There was a pioneering lure manufacturer in the USA which used it as a coating, which claims to reflect and shine UV light deep down in the depths of the water. Many others have since copied the idea.
