The 10 Smells That Transport Us Back to Childhood

They say smell creates the most powerful memories. I'm not sure who "they" are, but I trust them...because they're right. Ever smelled something that just ROCKETED you back to when you were a kid?

A new survey asked people to name the scents that take them back to their childhoods. Here are the top 10:

1. Fresh-cut grass.

2. Pencil shavings.

3. Baby powder.

4. Vicks vapor rub and other cold and cough medicines.

5. Play-Doh.

6. Cotton candy.

7. Bonfires.

8. Suntan lotion.

9. French fries.

10. An old lady's perfume that reminds you of your grandma.
