Maybe the single most genius product I have ever come across; an alarm clock that wakes your ass up with the real bacon. Fucking beautiful. Find out more about it here.

The human race isn't worthless after all.

HOW: 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 it sends a signal to a small speaker to generate the alarm sound. We hacked the clock so that the signal is re-routed by a microchip that in responds by sending a signal to a relay that throws the switch to power two halogen lamps that slow-cook the bacon in about 10 minutes.

Who wants to wake up and put plain old bacon in their mouth? Not me. I suggest adding a toaster to the top of the pig, some sort of contraption to slice tomatoes, and maybe even a compartment to store lettuce. Wake N’BLT’s baby!!! I’m in the process of getting this idea patented so don’t even think about stealing my idea!!
