Quite possibly the best invention since whatever came before sliced bread, the Wake’n Bacon alarm clock is a work of pure genius. The shape of the device is modeled after pre-bacon and the concept is so simple I can’t believe it’s not already in mass production. You simply place a piece of frozen bacon in the alarm clock when you go to sleep and set the clock. 10 minutes before you’re wake-up time the clock starts cooking your bacon and you are awakened to the smell of bacony goodness. What could get the day started off any better? Well, maybe the aroma of Applewood Smoked Bacon…but I digress.
We’re definitely not the first to report on the bacon alarm clock, and will certainly not be the last. It’s already been featured on such sites as: Wired, American Public Media’s “Splendid Table”, Engadget, Ubergizmo, Gear Live, Design Boom, and many more.

For those concerned about bacteria, coming from the culinary world, bacon is often left sitting out, covered, but out, all day. It is not a HACCP violation and its not a health code concern. It’s in the same vein as leaving out eggs. It isn’t done because people don’t know, but its totally acceptable
u guys were on shark tank and all they did was make fun of u, this is a horrible idea, go to school and get a good job
@u suck – He is a software designer by day, so he already has a job.
@poop… – I imagine the prototype will have a safety switch to ensure the halogen bulbs turn off after a certain amount of time. Concerning whether the person wakes up, everyone has to know themselves. If they know they need a loud noise, they either won’t buy the clock or they will have a regular alarm clock as a backup. I actually have one alarm in my bedroom and another downstairs because I know it’s hard for me to get up in the morning. If you are sick, that’s a temporary situation and you will already know you’ll need to use something else.Or maybe they’ll sell strongly scented bacon for that situation.
@Richard – glad you are encouraging this creative idea. I wish Matt and anyone on his team the best.
Same as eggs my ass. Eggs can be left witout being refrigerated for about 3 months. Id like to see you eat bacon that has been left out for that time. Its meat. Its not eggs.
Saying somthing like this is not only stupid, its also potentially dangerous. Ignorance is dangerous.
They do however say to leave frozen bacon, witch overnight, if you dont live in the tropics or other high bacteria/temperate areas should be allright.
Saying something like lets leave meat out, comparing it a shell casing on an egg which any one with common sense can figure out would last longer than a piece of meat. Then trying to compare it to a meat substance, plain idiocracy. Talking about food that is commonly refrigerated by most Americans (PEOPLE HAVE XTREME GERMAPHOBIA ISSUE’S, it’s hilarious) which in fact, does not. Now that sounds pretty “stupid” to me.
Do you mean idiocy? An idiocracy is a government of idiots or a government of abstract thought.
dumb ass
Okay, congratulations. You know one needs to refrigerate eggs. Relax. Take it down a notch. Nobody’s going to listen to comments for their refrigeration advice.
I wouldn’t even trust bacon in the fridge for 3 months. Parts of it turn blue/green.
I’m a semi retired sales and marketing executive in clocks and small electric appliances. Saw you on Shark Tank last night I love the idea. This is a very fickle market. Novelty pieces hit and miss. I’ll be glad to help you with a roll out to market. You will need help.
Richard, contact me, I need someone with your expertise to help me market an idea. jaxbaron@yahoo
u suck
What happens if my house burns down, or if it doesnt wake me up and im late for work. U know u should see the consequences of having this, it probs might not wake u up, and ooohh what if u have a stuffed nose and ur sick??????
There is a thing thats called a fire alarm dumb ass!
what if poop goes deaf?
your name is disgusting and can this clock be bought anywhere?
@hommyl mugee they cannot be bought anywhere yet,that’s why there is no price.even if it could be, it would be extremely expensive
I like this idea, and I think it could be useful for more then just bacon.If that guy had entered the tank with a UL rating already approved, we might all be waking up to bacon.
For all those people that say you suck go fuck yourself this is a great novelty idea and I hope it sky rockets becase I want one there woodent be anything better then waking up to this mabe make the fram steel and more fire protective
I love this idea!!!!! I can’t wait to start waking up to bacon when I get one!!!
GO BACON!!!!!!!!!
I wrote this little poem about bacon so every1 could see how much i love bacon!!
Bacon is yummy
In my tummy
Bacon is cool
It is for all the cool kids at school

I’ll have 1 on my farm
I eat it at the playground
I eat it at the zoo
But I reall enjoy eating it with you!!!
GOOOOOOO BAAACCCOOOONNNN!!!!!!!
My friend just said we should start a bacon cheer squad!!!!!! Instead of pom-poms we could have little fake pieces of bacon coming out of the handle.
