That's a great question!

For me, smell is the strongest trigger of memories. A combination of scents at the right temperature can evoke some fleeting moments. Recently, a new fabric softener took me back 15 years, straight to my Erasmus time in Greece!

Taste is also powerful, but in a different way. It can trigger memories about when and where I first tried that thing.

And of course, music can also bring back the emotions and feelings from the past.

Like this song https://youtu.be/68ugkg9RePc
and first school parties (and other from 90's Winamp playlists) ;)

@Kristján Geir Mathiesen - it's near the top left of this photo I took a few weeks ago when someone else asked about my zoom background.  Amazingly, it still works when I put a battery in it!

A very good TBT discussion! 

Mine is songs, when I hear them all past memories come back. Sometimes, it feels like they are records of our past and with each chorus a part of our memories will be played in our mind.

For me, it's mainly classical music. Keeps reminding me of how I used to go for music classes :)
