Default Childhood Memory: Smells

Many people find that a certain sound or smell brings back a childhood memory very strongly (such as the smell of a food that your mother often cooked when you were young).

Why do you think this is?
What has this effect on you?
Can you give examples.

Smell is one of the first senses that a baby develops

Playdoh, everytime I smell the stuff it reminds me of my childhood. I must have played with it at nursery school or something :-?

Cabbage! Takes me right back to junior school - whatever we were having at lunchtime, the corridors always smelt of cabbage.

Everytime I smell a chlorine type smell I think of my chilhood. I used to go swimming at least once a week for years with my Grandad (Who was a cool Grandad).

The taste or smell of it makes me wretch :-?

Useless Fact: Rhubarb leaves are poisonous to rabbits
