that the sense of smell is most effective in unlocking forgotten or suppressed memories.


I graduated from high school in 1972 (the year is relevant). About three years ago, my stepson handed me a Rainier beer. Now, Rainier was supposed to have gone out of business some time ago and I was never a fan, but I thought I’d give it a try.

I took a sip. Immediately I was transported back in time to the night of my graduation from high school, in the wet woods outside of Black Diamond, WA, running from the cops through the trees and ferns at around midnight.

The cops were busting our senior kegger and, yep, the beer was Rainier.

Taste and smell are very powerful memory triggers. :)

Citizens Arrest! Citizens Arrest!

There is no time limit on Minor In Possession, and the Black Diamond Police Department has a bounty out for you.

Weren’t the Rainier ads great?
