The Wake N' Bacon




It would seem that our prayers have been answered as this is indeed a working bacon alarm clock. Instead of waking up to loud beeping or buzzing, imagine waking up to the comforting smell of sizzling bacon. And just look at that piggy punim as he wordlessly, generously offers himself without judgement--it's genius, right? And yet, I have my reservations.

How it works: 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 sends a signal to a small speaker to generate the alarm sound. The signal is then re-routed by a microchip that responds by sending a signal to a relay that throws the switch to power two halogen lamps that slow-cook the bacon.

They had me until the halogen lamps. THAT'S unkosher.
