Memories

[Granny weed]

Is their a smell, taste, or the sight of a particular colour that's brings back memories of the past. I ask because today I bought some raspberries and the taste of them transported me back to when I was a child and I used to go picking them with my Grandmother. Another is seeing a pair of red shoes, I remember as a kid the only shoes I was ever bought were black school shoes, I was desperate for a pair of red shoes we had little money so I knew that I would probably not get them. However I came home from school one day and my mum had bought me a pair, I remember that feeling I had when I saw them and I still remember that feeling when I see red shoes today. Has anyone got similar memories?

Warm oatmeal cookies. I was flying back from the east coast business class and they warmed oatmeal cookies. I was right back in kindergarten, bam!

New running shoes bring me back, I remember as a kid thinking that I could run twice as fast and jump twice as high when my Mom bought me new shoes, it was quite a rush.....

For me, Diesel exhaust. As a youngster, the only times I smelled it was in European cities and at the airport going to&from them.
So I closely associate Diesel exhaust with very happy vacation memories. When i was 14 my dad bought an actual Diesel car, and ever time he or Momma fired that bad boy up *bam!* I was in that happy oh-boy-vacation!! mode. Diesel still puts me in a special place.

Fuel of any kind takes me back..went to drag races every weekend as a kid, and built quite a few cars. Fuel and grease always take me back to a simpler time...oh the innocence in childhood

the smell of a certain type of plastic reminds me of a tepee my brother and I got as kids.. it was an inflatable one.. smelled so good and I can recall that clearly..
I can also recall the smell of a car fire and collision that I was in that killed my buddy..


the smell of the fuel they used in gas powered radio controlled cars and planes.. damn that will stay with ya too.. use to shoot sprint car races and there was that smell again..

Racegas.. or even that sweet sweet nitro. brings me back to the starting gate every time. used to run two strokes and race gas mixed with klotz was some of the sweetest stuff would even settle for second place as long as he was running it up in first.

 

[qwizoking]

I almost mentioned nitro.. but didn't want any funny looks I even love the burn in your lungs and eyes when you get a whiff

(Figured I would edit, way late though.anyway pretty sure people knew what I was saying )

When I was a young bugger we would visit my uncle on holidays, his backyard was filled with Sumac and Juniper trees, their smell is so finely tuned into my psyche that even a faint whiff on a light breeze will instantly transport me back.

Doesn't bring back any memories but the scent of palo santo relaxes my mind and is one of my favorite scents.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

Speaking of napalm, I miss the smell of cooking human in the morning. We used electrocautery to stop bleeding which cooked skin, muscle, fat or what have you. I actually miss that smell and I never thought I'd say that. But that spelled breakfast for me LOL!

I do not miss the scent of aerosolized burnt bone! Thank you god for space suits.

OK this is esoteric, but ...

2,2'-dipyridyl has this lovely suntle divine smell like Christmas cookies. I used to steal into the stockroom, pop the top of that bottle and take deep whiffs.

Ironically, pyridine

smells like dead opossum pickled in motor oil. Yuuuck.
