When you need an inline array of strings. Compare

MONTHS = ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June',
'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December']
MONTHS = %w(January February March April May June July August
September October November December)

Try typing them both an and you'll see the use of the syntax :)
