You can't eat 1kg of apples, only .5kg before it goes bad. So you give the other .5kg away. Melsaskca also can't eat another .5kg of potatoes, so they give them away.

Okey lets accept this. What about products for which no particular individual has any practical usage, but can only be produced by multiple individuals?

If you'd like to see a moneyless world explored extremely well, I highly recommend reading The Dispossessed by Ursula LeGuin.

It's an incredible work of classic sci-fi that very realistically depicts how society would function without any money, and honestly I think the way it's shown could absolutely work.
