Aromatic Breakfast Alarms

The Wake 'n Bacon Brings the Intoxicating Smell of Pork to the Room

— October 5, 2011 — Lifestyle
The best way to wake up in the morning is the smell of breakfast, which is why the moment I saw the Wake 'n Bacon, I basically fell in love with the idea.

The Wake 'n Bacon is an interesting alarm clock that will actually wake you up with the smell of bacon -- and I don't mean the recreation of the aroma either. The interior of this elaborate piece has a built-in oven that will actually cook the meet making it as real as it gets. Simply place pre-cooked bacon on the teflon cooking tray, set the cook time to four minutes and you're set. Seriously, there's no better way to wake up than to the smell of breakfast.
Trend Themes
1. Sensory Alarm Clocks - The rise of alarm clocks that engage with users' senses will provide opportunities for companies to innovate in the area of scent, sound, and touch.
2. Smart Kitchen Appliances - Wakeup devices that incorporate cooking functions like the Wake 'n Bacon offer opportunities for disruptive innovation in the smart appliances industry.
3. Personalized Wake-up Experiences - The future of alarm clocks will be marked by devices that personalize how users are awakened, offering a unique opportunity for companies to innovate personalized wake-up experiences.
Industry Implications
1. Home Appliances - Improvements in scent, sound, and touch-based experiences will have disruptive impacts on the development of home gadgets.
2. Smart Home - Manufacturers of smart home electrodomestics will have to incorporate responsive scent, sound, and touch-based tech to meet the demand created by innovative sensory alarm clocks.
3. Consumer Tech - Innovative wake-up devices that provide a unique experience for users will create opportunities for businesses to develop intelligence technologies.
