And then there are those drunk nights that can result in numerous incriminating photos that eliminate the chance of you every running for office. There are so many other things in life that spark ideas in the little memory section of the brain. Your senses play a key role in this process. Smell, sight and sound can retract memories better than any old photo can. Let me prove it to you.
Scents are quite purposeful when trigging memories.
They place dates on your life. For example, the Fuzzy Peach scent from the Body Shop is so junior high and CKOne is so high school. Smelling either of these scents can remind you of past friends and experiences. Just brushing by someone while passing through the mall and lightly picking up his or her scent can get your brain thinking about an ex-love. Everyone has a scent, which hopefully is a good one, that marks you as you.
