Over the years, the alarm clock has been the subject of hate, ridicule and more hate the past, well, century and anyone who has one knows why. The absolute worst feeling you can get is when you go to bet at 11 and are woken up at 6 by a beeping, coincidentally sounding like the bomb that just exploded in your mind. Many types of alternative alarms have been made, such as a clock that allows you to smash it, or one that imitates a coffee machine, but the best one by far has to be Oscar Mayer’s Wake Up And Smell The Bacon alarm. Just guess what it does.

Wake-Up-and-Smell-the-Bacon

You got it! As the name implies, the WUASTB (best acronym ever) wakes you up every morning with the smell of bacon. Bacon. Why not. Of all the smells in the world, the one that I personally would like to wake up to the most would be bacon, so all you people at Oscar Mayer at least have one customer. Along with the scent released by the machine, some smoke (real smoke, not liquid smoke) is emitted, to even more enhance the experience.

They even made a fanciful trailer for it, which is obviously overboard but who cares:

If you haven’t already noticed, there has been a trend in products these days, which the WUASTB follows right along with. The trend is that most headlining products are either add-ons to a smartphone, like WUASTB, compatibilities to a smartphone like Pebble or Google Glass, or software for a smartphone, like Flappy Bird. Phone companies are basically the base and the life-support of almost all of the technology market today. Thankfully, phone companies are not going anywhere soon, but the on-trendness of the WUASTB is a good sign, and that feature could bring this device into every one in America. Just kidding, some of us are vegetarian.
