I only think of one thing when I hear Sweet Pea (from Bath & Body Works) or get a good whiff of it.
7th grade P.E. class.
For whatever reason, my classmate Wency, liked to spray the Sweet Pea body lotion before, during and after P.E. I used to like the smell til Wency made it a personal goal to kill and torture me with it. Most people was happy that P.E. was over so they didn't have to stand awkwardly around pretending they were participating. Me? I was happy to escape Sweet Pea.
It didn't stop there. A co-worker of mine now likes to spray a certain body spray after she is done smoking.
Me: *sniff, sniff* That smells like Swee.... NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
I know, Reader. It's hard. I thought my Sweet Pea days were done after the 7th grade.
But guess what? Somebody gifted me Sweet Pea body wash for Christmas. But why? And guess what? I like it. But ONLY the body wash. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO I AM ANYMORE!!

hahaha that is hilarious! That's how I feel whenever I walk by A&F at the mall. I cannot stand the smell of that store! mainly because one night my guy friend got really drunk and sick and to mask the smell of his drunken-sickness from another friend's parents he sprayed A&F cologne ALL OVER the room, including my hoodie..which I didn't know until the next day I went skiing and wore the hoodie and the whole trip that's alll I could smell .i thought i was gonna ralph and now I hatee it.
haha. oh sweet pea.
Haha Oh my gosh! That is quite an amount of bad luck with sweat pea. I have always prefered the lotion or wash over the spray even though nothing traumatic happened to me over it. haha. :)
