Unstimulated Memories

Do you ever just randomly smell or have a taste in your mouth for something that you haven't experienced in a really long time?

While I was putting away clothes at work the other day, I suddenly "tasted" Kaybee's ice cream. Its fairly odd, considering we had stopped having Kaybee's ice cream while we were still living there. But I could taste it, feel the texture and smell the wonderful essencey coffee flavour while going up and down trying to figure which one of the 10 different kinds of black pants the store carries was the one in my hand.

Every time I have an odd sensory memory flash triggered for no particular reason it makes me think of all the different things just logged away in our gray matter, ready to pop out at any given moment. Its fairly fantastic the way our brains work.
