Did you often eat this maple syrup flavored breakfast dish? It smelled so delicious! They had a popular television commercial that had people quoting, “I want my Maypo!”. Watch it again below.

8. Silly Putty

It didn’t smell as strong as Play-Doh, but Silly Putty does have its own signature scent. How many times did you press Silly Putty on a newspaper to transfer the words or photos?

9. Electric Trains

Older trains just had that electric odor. We might be glad that this smell went away.

10. Magic Markers

Be honest, do you remember sniffing markers? There are now scented markers, but these magic markers just had a weird scent that you wanted to sniff. However, the blend is now gone because it was toxic. Oops.

11. Pencil Shavings

The smell of No. 2 pencil shavings will likely make your mind go right back to grade school.

12. Burning Leaves

A smell we all know and most of us love during the fall months. Unfortunately, now it is your job to clean up those leaves. We miss the good old days when all we had to do was jump in the pile of leaves.

What smell do you miss the most? Which smells do you love or hate?
