Very rarely do I genuinely love a commercial. Even more rarely do I love both a commercial and the product being advertised. Oscar Meyer has managed to make right now one of those even-more-rare-than-very-rare moments with the advent of their new bacon alarm clock.
Yes. Their new bacon alarm clock.
Developed by the Oscar Meyer Institute for the Advancement of Bacon (OMIFAB) – yes, they even have an acronym – the alarm clock, titled Wake Up & Smell The Bacon, is a “multi-sensory alarm experience” that will revolutionize your lifelong opinions about the morning.
The alarm experience consists of a small odor-emitting device that releases the smell of bacon at certain times via the free Oscar Meyer Wake Up & Smell The Bacon iPhone app, which is available now on the App Store. All you have to do is plug the device into the headphone jack of your iPhone and set the time you want to wake up to the sizzle and smell of Oscar Meyer bacon.
Unfortunately to my own and several billion other’s dismay, the device is not being sold in stores and is only available in limited quantities. However, we can still live vicarious Oscar Meyer mornings with the commercial below and the uni-sensory iPhone App.
