There are oh so many ways to bring home that bacon, but only a precious few to get those lovely saturated fats ready
for your system. But thanks to the Wake n' Bacon, now you too can shave a few steps off your morning process while also
managing to add a little oily greasiness to your environs. As soon as your alarm goes off, boom, halogen lamp broils
you up some bacon in about 20 minutes no problem—just don't keep smacking the snooze button, or you might wind up with
some seriously charred remains.

Thats the stupidest thing I ever saw.
Here's what I don't get -- the bacon sits out overnight unrefrigerated until a halogen light hopefully cooks it fully? hmmm. get your morning bacon and samonella
One word: salmonella
Yah, that's smart, keep a piece of meat unrefridgerated overnight.
It is a concept guys. If you read the article before commenting like children you will see they are going to add cooling features etc.
Please read before mouthing off.
You're not supposed to EAT the bacon. Sheesh. It's just so you can wake up to the smell of bacon cooking. I mean, it's just one slice. Who eats ONE slice of bacon?
#4 -Actually, I did read the article, just didn't see the second page. I assume that you're referring to the heating/cooling unit as a proposed add on.I noticed that another proposed add on was an air cannon. If my alarm clock begins launching cooked bacon at me at wake up time, then I am so going to buy this. That would be too much fun to not buy.
You guys are crazy. What's better than waking up to a bacteria ridden chunk of smoldering flesh. MMMMMMM!!! At least it's an original Idea. Better than I can say for most.
It would be smarter if it started 5-20 mins before your alarm so that it would be done by the time you wake up, assuming you wake up quickly, then should just heat, not cook, until you take it.
you guys are idiots.
undercooked pork products won't give you salmonela...that's chicken.
you guys are thinking of trichinosis.
hmmmmm....bacon..

Wally, that's the funniest thing I've read all week! :D
1. you put a *frozen* stip of bacon in the "baker" the night before = no trichinosis
2. the baker starts up 20 mins before you set your alarm, so that the bacon is ready by the time you wake up.
3. it's just a (working) prototype - that's why it's only one strip of bacon.
I was makin bacon the night before with the ole lady in bed and the thought of smelling it in the morning when I wake up makes me sick. Make one with a squeal like my ole lady's would work just fine.
I have been dreaming of a bacon alarm clock for so long, and I'm SO glad someone finally invented it. I hate waking up to sounds, and every time I wake up to dad/ the roommate/ a friend/ my sister cooking bacon, I think: "this is absolutely the most pleasant way to be awakened in the universe." The bacteria problem worries me a little, though, since one thing about being woken up to the smell of bacon is that there is hopefully some bacon-eating involved. I would probably eat the bacon anyway. It's really hard to turn down some bacon; some would say it's impossible, no matter how gross it may be. There's always a chance! Thank you Matty Sallin! You're beautiful!
