I was thinking since you can change the flavor of stuff you could put poison in someones food or drink and use it to change the flavor so they can't taste it.
1. Keep clothes clean
2. Chill the beer
3. Warm food
4. Leave colorful marks on the walls that may be a signal to someone, and vanish after an hour

Treatment for frostbite, a distraction to assist someone hiding, make a small mirror to check what's around the corner, set up a fuse on a barrel of oil (when the prestidigitated item disappears one end of the burning rag falls in), create puffs of dust to make it seem like an invisible person was escaping that way.

Remove that bloodstain/poison coating
Help make a fake document seem more legit by soiling it to appear aged
Make the food not taste horrible
Change the color of your hair and clothes when being sneaky, so if you get spotted they are looking for a white haired man in a red jacket, while you’re actually a dark haired man in a tan jacket.
Cleaning your clothes, making your food taste great are the first two that come mind.
Dry your clothes after crossing a river or being out in the rain so you don't catch a cold.

In several adventures that I've played through or DM'd, this is the coolest way that I've seen it used.
The PCs were rescuing slaves (normal people from a village) from an orc camp. The party was very stealthy, but among the group of slaves were some children. The children, much like their adult counterparts, were upset, hurt, and afraid.
However, unlike the adults they lacked the understanding of the ultimate imperative need for silence. Several of them began to wimper and cry, threatening to wake the slumbering Orc tribe.
The wizard used prestidigitation much like a doctor would utilize the old coin behind the ear trick, though we imagined that actual magic would create magical butterflies of light or something much more spectacular than a coin.
This intrigued curiosity, and temporarily provided enough of a distraction to stifle the children's fear (and noise) enough to make a safe escape.

Brushing your teeth.

Brushing your teeth.Yeah, you don't want to rely on non-magical cleaning for that. Dental hygiene was really bad for most of history.
Fighters are so gross, amirite?

Use it as a 1 hour timer? (Any actual change to an object (beyond just moving, cleaning, or soiling it) persists only 1 hour.) So if you made a piece of sting purple, cut it up and pass a piece to a bunch of different people that need to coordinate something (e.g. launching an attack) they'd all turn back to white at the same time.
My players use it to clean things all the time.
- Just snuck in through a fireplace? Clean all the soot off the floor.
- Sign covered in goo? Lever jammed with grime? Clean it.
- Graul house in Hook Mountain Massacre? Well, they tried, but it is only a cantrip. :)
