Do you have any weird smell associations?

My wife (girlfriend at the time) and I were walking into a mall back around 1999 and there was a Bennigan’s right next to the entrance. Somebody leaving Bennigan’s must have cut loose the most vile, stomach-churning fart just as we got there. You could practically taste it. 20 years later, I have still never eaten at a Bennigan’s and always think of that smell when I see one.

I lived in Dallas, and the smell of downtown office buildings there brings me back.

I banged your mom behind a McDonald's once, so every time I get McCravings I think of her.

Smell is the sense that is most associated with triggering memory.

When I was about 11, my friend and I came across the corpse of a homeless person that had been stewing in a culvert for a few days. Corpse was wearing an SMU shirt.

Nearly every time I see the SMU horse logo that stench comes back to me.

Red headed people smell like bologna to me, I know that sounds crazy but I’ve been like this for as long as I can remember. B-O-L-O-G-N-A

My nana (RIP) always carried peppermints and Dentyne gum in her purse. I was always digging in there to get one or the other. When I smell either one now, it reminds me of her.

The smell of sawdust reminds me of when I was a kid and hung around with my uncle (RIP) in his workshop. I many piss-poor crooked arse shelves.

Sometimes a musty smell reminds me of my first LSU dorm room in Highland Hall.

I used to like the smell of gasoline.

Till one time my old drummer and I huffed till we thought the world was ending.

Now I cant fill up without almost having a derealization panic attack

Not really, but pretty often I smell smoke when it's not there. Olfactory hallucinations are a poorly understood phenomenon, but possibly a form of epilepsy.

Creosote pilings reminds me of my grandparent's summer house on the beach in Waveland. Caught my first fish from their pier as a 4 yea old...

I love the smell of napalm in the morning. It smells like victory.

I got really drunk drinking rum one night and puked the whole next day. Until this day when I smell rum I want to vomit.

I pulled an all-nighter working on an Windows Server administration class while drinking margaritas. Now every time I smell any kind of cheap margarita mix I think of Windows Active Directory.

There is the this Korean restaurant downtown near where I work. It is very popular and the food is pretty good. They have this one spicy chicken dish that has become my favorite However when co-workers get that same dish, from a distance it smells just like singed hair. I know, pretty disgusting, right? Hard to explain but it tastes far better than it smells and up close it doesn't smell like that, but now that I know how it smells to others around me I don't get that dish and eat it at work anymore.

Diesel exhaust reminds me of being in the field with the Army.
