Sensory Association

[ShadowBrain]

The human senses are often linked to memory in interesting ways. What are some smells, sounds, songs, or sights that invariably bring a particular time, place, or thing in your life to mind?

For example, every time I hear the start-up jingle for Windows Vista, I think of Super Mario Galaxy. This is partly because we got our new home computer with Vista around the same time as SMG, and more-partly because... well, it honestly sounds like the spacey kind of jingle you'd hear in the game.

Way too many to name or remember off the top of my head. 

There is a particularly prominent and weird one, though.  For the first three or four years of school, I had a chocolate pudding cup in my lunch, without fail.  We ate in the gym, which was separated from the blacktop only by a rather thin wall - I could smell it while I ate.  Taste and smell, especially, are closely linked together - suppose that's why whenever I walk past the nearby tire store and inhale, I think of pudding cups.
