Pepto Bismol does it for me. I threw up once after taking a big dose of Pepto when I was about 6. Still don't like that stuff.

Southern Comfort is my trigger smell. Nasty!

I know exactly what you mean. It's been almost 30 years since I was destroyed by that stuff.

Last thing that came up the wrong way was popcorn. It took me 2 years before I could even try a piece after that. It wasn't the popcorn's fault, it was a 24 hour stomach bug. Along with the popcorn was two of the world's best hotdogs. Haven't been back to that shop since then, which is a shame, because the 84 year old guy that owns and has run it since the 1940's died 2 weeks ago. Unless he passed along his sauce and his meat sauce recipe, I'll never have it again

My Nana had powder rom Avon that she always put on. When she passed away I got the washstand that was in the bathroom. It still smells like Nana.

I have a pretty strong stomach... but don't get me near Castor Oil. The lady that used to keep us when we were kids would make us take it every spring to "clean us out!" I still give my mom grief about letting that lady abuse here kids.

Jack Daniels and anything wintergreen.

Bad night with Jack when I was 15 and wintergreen because it reminds me of chew.

Tequila and Wild Turkey (most burbon does) both give me shivers. From the weekend before my 21st birthday. Thanks mom!
Just the thought of chew makes me sick. I had been chewing redman for a couple of hours when a friend goaded me into taking a dip of Grizzly green. An hour long car ride later I vomited midway through a sentence.

Made up a college version of screwdrivers, Popov vodka and Tang made me hate Tang for a long time. And cheap vodka, fogettaboutit, might throw up from the smell of it. Note: Do not use vodka as the 'water' used to mix the Tang.

Old musty basements still remind me of my grandparents basement, brings back memories of their house

Every time I'm near my tomato plants I remember growing them when I was little. It as one of the ways my parents taught me responsibility.

Every time I smell the ocean I think about Rehoboth Beach Delaware. My fiance and I went there every weekend when we first met. We'd go to a local bar and get nice 'n tipsy then go to the beach. Once we sobered up we'd go back for more. Those were the days.

For me it is the smell of carnations....

That is the smell I remember from my dad's funeral, and I can't stand them to this day.

Gophernut · 04-25-2011, 09:09 AM

Gin, which sort of sucks because I live next to a pine forest and every once in a while will get a wiff...
Music also does that. Just the other day, I was back in high school driving around in my buddy's Jeep. There was a song by The Cars on the radio.

Anytime I smell wood burning I think of Boy Scouts, summer camps, and camp-outs. Lube oils, diesel, and grease remind me of being on the farm as a kid. Anytime I see or smell Simple Green, I always remember being a kid and changing the oil in my dad's truck. The smell of fresh cut grass makes me long for a lawn to mow like I did as a kid.

And in the realm of weird associations, the smell of A-1 Sauce always reminds me of my grandfather's garage. I have no idea why his garage smelled like A-1, but it did.
