This is probably silly, but I love Watkin's Vanilla. My grandma always used it whatever she was baking! Just seeing the bottle reminds me of so many wonderful memories of her!

Actually I get the same feeling when I see the tine of medicated ointment. I think back to my childhood and my mom get it out when I was sick.
