Are the following good examples of unintended uses? Using a dryer sheet to remove soap scum from your shower door counts (or as an air freshener inside your vacuum cleaner bag) Using milk crates to store textbooks Using a wifi router to form a mesh network Using a smartphone as a cellular modem for your laptop If so, what would be good examples of complementary goods (to the "extended" use of the original product)? Feel free to use a different example if nothing comes to mind for the examples above. Thanks, Scott Thanks David (@davidwlocke on Twitter)!

This is where a product roadmap could branch into new markets. Products tend to have unintended uses where it is stretched beyond the uses it was designed to enable. These unintended uses would lead to asymmetric complements. Thanks! So asymmetric complements, have use contexts beyond their symmetric complementations.
