I noticed the floppy tubes too, there are short pieces of it in yellow in both
8250 (search sub) and 8503 (throwbot scuba). I tend to think of it as thin

sets it's used in scuba equipment to represent breathing hose. Of course, it's
too small to actually function as pneumatic tubing. In fact, I haven't found
any use for it. I'd be interested to hear what others have done with it.
