Chisoxfn Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 06:51 AM) I am researching a new trend in marketing and was wondering what your favorite childhood smell is. It would also be helpful if you would also add what decade that would be from. crayons -- 60s for me. christmas trees. Nothing smells better than a christmas tree in the house (imo). The holidays are by far my favorite time of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Gleason Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Quite a few of these smells though just seem to be things that are not relegated to "childhood". It seems that we are falling off the topic and just mentioning what we actually like the smell of. Odd nobody had mentioned the results of their Uncle Jack's "pull my finger" stunt.

SoxFanForever Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 For some weird reason I always liked the smell of the hot air that came out of the back of our two piece giant ass vaccuum when I was a kid. Really odd but good smell. That and the smoke that came out of my train set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwritecode Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I could've sworn I submitted this post already but when I left and came back it was gone. Anyway... Campfires. My parents and grandparents had permanent campsites at a campground in Wisconsin and we'd spend every single weekend during the summer up there. They quit camping when I was about 8 or 9 but my grandparents are still up there. Always brings back good memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think not, otherwise the thread would have an NC-17 rating by now. The line from Christine about the one thing better than 'new car smell' comes to mind... Nice AV there, btw.

SoxFan1 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Any smell that I abolutely LOVE is the smell of smoked meat. I remember as a little kid how me an my grandpa would go to the butcher shop and buy hundreds of pounds of meat and sit in the cold garage for hours a day and talk and check the meats until they were done and keep adding wood to the fires. Good times. I also love Michigans cool, crisp, fall morning air. It takes me back to when I go hunting for deer every year (can't wait until Thanksgiving week!) and sitting up in the tree-stand all by myself, watching the sun come up, and sitting silently waiting for a deer to come out. Ahhhh, memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerhead johnson Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Most of my favorite childhood smells were sports-related. I used to love the smell of a new uniform, a new baseball mitt, etc. And of course, napalm in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
