Hoppes, does this bring back any good memories when cleaning your guns?

I opened up my jar of hoppes to clean and put my rifle away for the hunting season, and the wonderful memories that flooded my mind as I smelled this great stuff, the days gone by, sitting in the old homestead by the fireplace talking deer hunting with family and friends, yes those were some good old days, does this stir up any memories for you? Please let me know if there any old nostalgic folks who remember this hunters cleaning solution?

Remember it? I grew up with it and keep a dozen bottles of the stuff, just for sniffing.

I never use hoppes as it is useless for removing copper fouling.Sweets 7.62 does remove all fouling and will open your sinuses if inhaled.

Currently breaking in a rifle and finished cleaning the rest for the season. To be honest, I'm sick of all cleaners! Want to impress me, make one that's odourless.
