For some reason it reminds me of...

[Reveilled]

Okay, bear with me, beause I'm not sure how well I'll be able to describe the topic of this thread.

 

What things remind you of other things that to anyone else would seem completely unrelated, and why are they related to you?

 

For instance, the taste of Orange Milk Chocolate reminds me of the Legend of Zelda on the N64. At face value, they seem to have nothing to do with one another, but back when the game was released, I got it for christmas along with several boxes of chocolate orange pieces, and so I spent almost the entire game eating chocolate orange, and as a result, the taste of chocolate reminds me of the Legend of Zelda whenever I eat it.

 

Understand?

Yes, I used to listen to Bach (pixies can give you all the specifics of every song if you'd like) while I played Ultima. Now, if I hear that music, I'm taken back to the time.

 

My first girlfriend was a French foreign exchange student. She wore a certain perfume. Now, if I smell anything that even remotely resembles it, I'm taken back to my time with her.

 

It's funny how the mind plays tricks on us.

Go ahead, try me. Name a song in a certain key, and I will meet your challange.

Firestoker ale reminds me of Arcanum. Bad air-conditioning reminds me of NWN.

Psychological research has found that the areas of the brain that process smells is in fact linked to the hippocampus, so a smell is more likely to trigger an episodic memory than any of the other senses

Funnily enough, when I read that, I found I associate chocolate orange with Legends of Zelda, too.

 

The bizzare bit is, I don't remember ever playing Zelda on the N64 (but I could very well have on a friends).

 

Jungian synchronicity, perhaps?

 

Doo-do do-do doo-do do-do waaaa-wa! wa-wa! *bongo solo*

Because I have add there's too many to list, but I do remember listening to a backstreet boys song about 5 or six years ago while reading a supergirl comic :">

Why am I not suprised........

Everytime I hear Brtiney Spears, I think of Rollercoaster Tycoon. My moms used to listen to radio while I was next room playing the demo back in 99.

 

Mint crockant chocolate reminds me of Warhammer novels.

 

Winegums give me vivid memories of Ursula LeGuin's books.

 

Everytime I bite an apple I...well, nevermind.

Anyhow, certain smell gives me multicolored image in my head.

[Shryke]

the smell of bourbon reminds me of owls :ph34r:

 

the reason being, after getting completely drunk on bourbon, a friend and i went for a walk, and we came across a harry potter poster thingy outside the movie theater that had a pricelist of all sorts of different owls. the one i distinctly remember is a snowy owl, costing 18 galleons

[Pope]

recently I opened a pot of hairgel I hadn't used in years, and the scent of it immediately took me back to highschool

 

the combined taste of coffee and cigarettes reminds me of the breaks I took during my exams

 

the scent of tequila reminds me of lots and lots of vomit

the (rare) sight of 3 people sitting on 1 scooter reminds me of a broken kneecap

 

every Asian girl I see reminds me of the biggest crush I ever had (and ever will have)

 

and garlic butter reminds me of sex

As a public service announcement, I'd just like to say to the kids that Crisco is not a personal lubricant.

[Archmonarch]

Im in my school library right now and a guy is drilling holes in tables, presumably to hold computer cables. The sound is annoying, but the burning smell reminds me of the dentist's office.

[Musopticon?]

What have they done to you in the dentists?

Is this from experiance or just a tidbit?

I am transported back to my youth when I smell distilate mixed with sea water; I fondly remember the times spent with family on our boat in the Broadwater; and zipping about in an aluminium dinghy with a six horsepower Johnson outboard motor ...

The song For Tomorrow, by Blur, reminds me of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, as I had the song playing on repeat 1 while I read most of the second book.

No wonder I have poor memory. I have no sense of smell.

No, you have a poor sense of smell because you have a poor memory!

REM reminds me of Diablo II because I always found Diablo II interminably boring unless I was listening to music at the same time.

Every spring, when there's lots of snow on the ground, the sun is still barely managing to climb over the horizon, and there's that unmistakable spring feeling in the air (when the snow is actually starting to decrease instead of increase) I'm almost transported back to my youth (1988!) and an especially happy period of my life. Every day during that period I longed to get home from school to play Pool of Radiance with my best friend. The clear, cold air, the weak sun (painting the sky yellow-reddish) and the sparkling, melting snow brings back all that.

Eric Clapton's Pilgrim album reminds me of Quake II, because I listened to it constantly while playing the game. Sometimes I still go back and play it, and I no longer have the Pilgrim CD. Any other music I play seems weird.
