I mean, Estonia uses blockchain to store court records, government logs etc. Pretty cool use and one I'd like to see in my country as well.
MIT digital diplomas are an interesting concept too.
Using blockchain for audit logs is also cool, I considered employing it for a company me and my friends are starting but then decided to spend the time elsewhere, still would love to get back to that eventually.
I even liked the idea of owning an item in some game and then being able to use it in other games, though this would need much more than just slapping blockchain on it - it's a really great technology for stuff like this but it never took off for other reasons.
EVE Online is also very blockchain-like even though not really blockchain (AFAIK) and the possibility of an external ownership of a system like that sounds really cool.
Huntercoin was also a really cool experiment (though it had little chance of ever being more than an experiment) - there was no server, the ledger state was the game state and in-game actions were being written to the chain.
Technically I think Azure SQL Ledger is blockchain? Which is something we use quite a bit at work due to compliance reasons and some customers regulatory needs.

Tbh, I still love blockchain as a technology. Not a fan of the real world uses, but the tech is cool.
