The Wake N' Bacon alarm clock
:wtf: :rofl:

http://www.mathlete.com/portfolio/wakeNbacon.php

WHAT: An alarm clock that wakes you up with the smell and sizzle of cooking bacon.

WHY: No one likes to wake up, especially by an alarm. This clock gently wakes you up with the mouthwatering aroma of bacon, just like waking up on a Sunday morning to the smell of Mom cooking breakfast. Unless you're Jewish.

1. Does it cook the bacon?
I don't want to wake up to the smell of bacon if there's no bacon for me to eat. x(

5. Or you could just
Put your cheap Walgreens/Kmart coffee maker on a timer. That way you wake to the smell of fresh-brewed coffee. That's what I do, and it's a lot less expensive. Besides, who eats just one or two slices of bacon? It's like freaking potato chips. Sheesh.

6. So the bacon sits out at room temperature overnight?
That sounds like a BAD idea.

10. What could go wrong?
Power outage?

Forget to set the alarm?

Midnight snack?

Since I am replying to you: Bacon is goddamned nasty and I haven't missed pig since my last bite 10 years ago.

13. Sounds like an engraved invitation to food poisoning
Especially since it probably doesn't get hot enough to kill anything off, being cooked ez-bake oven style by lights.

8. I don't eat bacon, can I put weed in it instead?
They'd only have to change the name just slightly!

9. Then you'll just want to go back to sleep, ya stoner.
Maybe you'll eat some bacon first.

11. Naw. I am an energetic guy. I love to wake.

I never feel hungry when I wake up, but cooked pig in my bedroom would really make me sick.
