Baking Soda has a wide variety of uses.
In Baking, when used in conjunction with an acid, baking soda will break down (ultimately) to salt, carbon dioxide, and water; acting as a leavening agent.
Chemically it used to neutralize acids and bases, so in Pools it can be used to correct the pH of the water. It's also handy for neutralizing a stomach full of acid as well.
It can be used to clean many things when mixed with water and used as a paste, but not recommended for use on Aluminum.
All of these are possible depending on what property of baking soda you are taking advantage of. The abrasive texture for cleaning, or how it breaks down chemically in the presence of acids or bases.
It can be used to smother small kitchen fires, and is even effective on grease fires, so having a small box handy is a good idea. Having an actual fire extinguisher is an even better idea, just in case.
It's use as an odor neutralizer is not nearly as effective as say activated charcoal, but considering how hard it is for me to find anything shoved in a cabinet, having that box right there in the fridge or ice box does mean you can find it relatively easily.
All in all, it is quite useful to have around. Not sure if what I wrote answers your question, but to describe its properties leads directly into its many uses.
