# Canned Alarm Clocks Crack Open the Lid to the Tuna Can Alarm By Meghan Young | Published 2009-12-15 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tuna-can-alarm References: [dvice](http://dvice.com/archives/2009/12/alarm-clock-is.php) & [merch-bot](http://www.merch-bot.com/digital-clock-in-a-can.html) If you know someone who really, truly loves [all things tuna](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bumble-bee-snackers), perhaps you should get them the Tuna Can Alarm for Christmas. Say what? Oh, you heard me. Although there’s not much literature on the origin of the Tuna Can Alarm, nor about who designed it, I think it’s a fun alternative to the [boring, traditional digital clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roberts-ortus-5) out there. The only thing that could detract from this product is if it also contained a fishy smell. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sustainable Clocks:** Leveraging sustainable materials and eco-friendly design in alarm clocks to cater to environmentally conscious consumers. - **Quirky Alarm Clocks:** Designing unconventional and unique alarm clocks to provide a fun and personalized waking experience. - **Smart Alarm Clocks:** Developing alarm clocks with integrated smart features like voice control, app connectivity, and sleep tracking to enhance user experience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor:** Exploring innovative alarm clock designs as part of home decor items to provide functional yet stylish pieces for consumers. - **Consumer Electronics:** Integrating advanced technology and features in alarm clocks to cater to tech-savvy consumers seeking a connected lifestyle. - **Gifts and Novelties:** Creating unique and quirky alarm clocks as novelty gift items for special occasions and personalized gifting experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Singing Seafood Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tuna-lovers-singing-advent-calendar.md) - [Sense-Awakening Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/international-delight-cinnabon-alarm-clocks.md) - [Tranquil Coffee Aroma Alarms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunrise-alarm.md) - [Easy-Open Tuna Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tuna-can-packaging.md) - [Elegant Aromatic Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paramita-universal-alarm-clock.md) - [Connected Toy-Like Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cubb-alarm-clock.md) - [Digital Personality Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alarm-oclock.md) - [Bedside Alarm Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunrise-alarm-clock-coffee-maker.md) - [Motion-Sensing Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-sound-clock-alarmo.md)
