I thought I had found the ultimate alarm clock the other day, but as it turns out, I was wrong…oh so very wrong.

Whereas most alarm clocks rely on loud obtrusive noises to get you out of bed, the Wake n’ Bacon gets you up and ready for work with the sweet mouthwatering smell of sizzling bacon.

It’s quite simple, just place a frozen strip of bacon into the Wake n’ Bacon before you fall asleep. The next morning, 10 minutes before the alarm is set to go off, the device automatically begins cooking the bacon using two halogen lamps. When the desired waking time arrives, you have inevitably awoken from the pungent odor of pig fat, and are most likely reloading the device for a second serving.

For some people (myself included), getting out of bed in the morning is the hardest part of the day.  The instant gratification derived from hitting the snooze button just one more time can be difficult to overcome, and often results in rushed/poor decisions when it comes to matters like your work attire (wearing mis-matched shoes can only go unnoticed for so long), or your choice of breakfast (although convenient, nothing from McDonald’s can reasonably be justified as an acceptable substitute for a healthy breakfast).

Many attempts have been made at producing the ultimate alarm clock, but none have been able to spread fear and panic through the minds of 9-5′ers quite like The Rocket Alarm Clock.

When the designated wake-up time arrives, the Rocket Alarm Clock begins a 10 second countdown, during which time you can turn it off without further consequences.  If ignored however, it blasts a rocket across the room, and the only way to turn off the sounding alarm is to get up, retrieve the rocket, and place it back on the launching pad.
