Amazing Flashbacks with Smell
Doing little work in the office I ordered a Pappa John’s pizza for dinner. I don’t think they have been in this area very long and this is the first time I think I’ve had a pie from them since I’ve been in Florida. When I opened it up, the smell with the little pepper they put in gave me an instant flood of memories from college. Between ordering for myself and having it at parties I probably had Pappa John’s 1-2 times a week for a very long time. Big happy nostalgia.
