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.
HOW: A frozen strip of bacon is placed in Wake n' Bacon the night before. Because there is a 10 minute cooking time, the clock is set to go off 10 minutes before the desired waking time. Once the alarm goes off, the clock it sends a signal to a small speaker to generate the alarm sound. We hacked the clock so that the signal is re-routed by a microchip that in responds by sending a signal to a relay that throws the switch to power two halogen lamps that slow-cook the bacon in about 10 minutes.

Oh, the originality in that one..
Son, calling your own hand 'your mother' won't
make it 'wake up' before you do and give you what you
obviously never had.
You (yes, that includes 'your mother') are an
embaressment for the Reich.
Well I would go up to a higher level but that would surely
surpass your level of understanding, so IŽll try to use
words you understand: Well YOU are an embarassment for your mother!
Well imitation is the simplest form of admiration, not
that I need that from a parroting individual such as
yourself. As for your so called 'higher
level', knock yourself out, don't just brag
about it like a fucking loser.
So you wake up, thinking of bacon, and then get stuck with only a single
strip, which you have to go into your bedroom to grab (+ cleaning, rotting,
etc.). Does it even refridgerate it? I don't think I'd give the
Entrepreneur of the Year award to the inventor.
