You mentio...Terrific post, and well worth a re-run. You mentioned Prell. I don't know if that shampoo is even made anymore, but I don't recall seeing it in any stores for a very long time. However, after my father died a couple years ago, I found a half-tube of Prell in his house while cleaning it out to sell. Now, with us living in a different state, we were in a big rush to clean and sell the house as soon as possible, so I gave away a ton of valuable stuff just to find a good home for it. But that half-tube of Prell? Would you believe I brought it home with me? And ya know what? It still smells the same. All I have to do is close my eyes and take a good sniff, and I'm a kid again.
