This Week in Bacon

Started by Jerry Brito · 9 months ago

This week’s feature is a bacon alarm clock, the cleverly named Wake n’ Bacon, that wakes you up with the smell of real cooked bacon, rather than the traditional, grating, cruel, terrible, gruesome alarm-clock sound. Geek.com splains:

    What a great idea. My company may even market these. We should probably have a vegan alternative, although I don't know any vegans or what a vegan actually is.

    This is so much better than putting a Foreman Grill at the foot of ones bed.

    Michael Scott -

    That's horrifying! Why would you want to manufacture an alarm clock that wakes people up with the smell of cooking vegans?!

    Because they taste so good when they are done crispy. Meat just falls off the bone. And they taste like chicken.

    So how is it not unhealthy to leave bacon sitting out at room temperature for 8 hours or so before cooking it? That's basically an invitation for food poisoning.

    Well, the original idea of bacon was to preserve meat in a way that didn't require refrigeration. So it would work just fine if the meat was actually smoked in the old-fashioned way. But with bacon the way it's made now, I don't know. I think the alarm clock needs a built-in refrigeration unit that turns off just prior to the initiation of the cooking process.

    I'm not sure the bacon is supposed to be eaten. You could always cook yourself some more. It says the point is to wake you up via smell, rather than sound. It never says EAT IT.

    To anyone concerned about the prospects of food poisoning: people who purchase bacon-cooking alarm clocks have bigger problems - healthwise - than room-temperature pork.

    They should create and design a home alarm system looking like that. Imagine burglars actually passing by it if they have never seen one:)) You could actually order a custom made one and hide it anywhere in the house.

    Interesting name! But what's best about it is that it calls our attention with a real bacon smell than the usual grueling sounds of other alarm devices! mmm I could almost smell the aroma of bacon from here! Yum!
