Actually the computer chips that act as the memory and logic components of all electronics (computers, cell phones, mp3 players, video game consoles) are all constructed using chemical reactions (called vapor deposition)

The list would be endless. Laundry, eating (digestion of the foods are chemical reactions), cooking, using cleaning products, using medication, watering plants, using fertilizers, bathing, heating, air conditioning, using toothpaste, using deodorant, lighting matches, treating your swimming pool, caring for your fish tank, even breathing. Chemistry happens everywhere!

You have received the most reasonable answers above. When you cook your meals (reactions of Maillard that gives the foods the desirable browny color or the denaturation of proteins in a egg with ham, etc.,) when you bake a delicious cake (release of CO2 by the action of baking powder), when you do your laundry (soap and detergent used in these action are chemical all of them), etc.
