What’s a small, random thing that instantly takes you back to your childhood? Why does it hit you so hard?

Sometimes a simple smell or sound can bring back a flood of memories from childhood. For me, the smell of rain on hot pavement always reminds me of summer afternoons playing outside with friends. What’s something small and random that instantly transports you back? Would love to hear your stories!
