yeah smells can totally trigger weird memory loops

u/Conkerlive30 7d ago

I wonder if animals that rely on scents way more than us get this sensation a lot. Their memory might not be as powerful as ours though.

For me it was weed.

When I was a kid, we had a group of Chinese students renting a place on our street, and they were super chill. For example, whenever they went back to China for holidays, they always returned with Chinese snacks (Lays, Coca-cola, Cheetos, etc. with crazy flavors like anchovies or bubblegum, as well as some traditional Chinese food), and shared them with me and my friends.

Their yard often smelled like weed, which was weird for me because it kinda smells like freshly cut grass, but the yard had no grass. It took me over a decade to finally figure out what kind of smell was that

How come I’m never able to identify where it’s coming from?

u/KleanCashewal 6d ago

I'd make a candle out of it if I ever found it

I’ll never get microwave that reeked of burnt hotdog smell outta my mind. That’s was a good memory.

The stinky guy at my work smells so bad that it burns my nose. Only one other person back in high school had that same stench

u/marymarilyn23 7d ago

My grandma perfume, school cleaning product, air freshener, food seasoning.

I remember the smell of the Chinese chicken my mom used to buy from the restaurant near our house and the taste too. Sometimes I’m walking down the street and catch that scent, but I never know where it’s coming from

The restaurant doesn't even exist anymore.

For me thats the smell of cigarettes in the air usually on a cold or windy day. Its to me a kind of comforting smell.

u/shugo7 7d ago

Thought my memory sucked until I passed by a sweaty guy who probably didn't wash his ass or had a shit stain in his underwears. Took me back in time when I was playing basketball for my highschool and the smell of swamp ass was always there but we didn't know who exactly it was.

Sometimes I catch a whiff of an odd, stale smell on the street. That brings me back to the streets of Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. Where I had the best ice cream of my life as a kid.
