Bacon-Scented Alarm App - It Sizzles and It Smells Good!

This news was too good to add to our Bacon Thread in the Ring ! Oscar Meyer has created an app for the iPhone that is a bacon alarm clock. When the alarm sounds, you not only wake to the sound of bacon sizzling in a skillet, but they've created a device that plugs into your phone that releases the scent of bacon into the air (refills available)!

Image: Wake Up and Smell the Bacon

Oscar Mayer is giving meat fans the chance to wake up to the sound — and smell — of bacon every morning.

The company's Wake Up and Smell the Bacon app and iPhone dongle, which unfortunately contains no actual bacon, is a complete bacon-themed overhaul of your iPhone's alarm.

The dongle plugs into the iPhone's headphone jack and, when paired with the accompanying iOS app, releases the smell of bacon as the alarm sounds.

Oscar Mayer is only making a limited number of devices, which won't be available for sale. Fans will have to apply for a shot at winning one of the dongles by taking a quiz on Oscar Mayer's website . The contest runs through April 4 and winners will receive their bacon-scented devices within six to eight weeks.

Worst idea ever! Wake up to the smell and noise of bacon and are then denied! Many I phones will be smashed against the wall.

For folks who own dogs this could result in missing iPhones and digestive complications for their four legged furry friends.

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

Gotta go with Fred on this one, nothing would make me angrier than walking up to the smell of bacon and there being no bacon. Homicidal only begins to describe it.

Spoiler alert: This week's episode includes a brief, albeit amazing, cameo by film and television superstar Kevin Bacon. Six degrees that, fools.
