# Aromatic Breakfast Alarms The Wake 'n Bacon Brings the Intoxicating Smell of Pork to the Room By Matt Ho | Published 2011-10-05 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wake-n-bacon References: [buzzfeed](http://www.buzzfeed.com/jpmoore/the-greatest-alarm-clock-in-all-the-land) & [mattysallin.wordpress](http://mattysallin.wordpress.com/2011/03/20/wake-n-bacon/) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunkin-x-hatch) that will actually wake you up with the [smell of bacon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lettnerhof-donauhotel) -- 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oven-ready-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 Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **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. - **Smart Kitchen Appliances:** Wakeup devices that incorporate cooking functions like the Wake 'n Bacon offer opportunities for disruptive innovation in the smart appliances industry. - **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. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Appliances:** Improvements in scent, sound, and touch-based experiences will have disruptive impacts on the development of home gadgets. - **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. - **Consumer Tech:** Innovative wake-up devices that provide a unique experience for users will create opportunities for businesses to develop intelligence technologies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bedside Alarm Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunrise-alarm-clock-coffee-maker.md) - [Bacon-Scented Fragrant Perfumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wright-n-100.md) - [Sense-Awakening Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/international-delight-cinnabon-alarm-clocks.md) - [Elegant Aromatic Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paramita-universal-alarm-clock.md) - [Coffee-Brewing Sunrise Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optimrise-sunrise-alarm-clock.md) - [Gentle Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc-alarm-clock.md) - [Bacon-Scented Wrapping Papers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-label-bacon-wrapping-paper.md) - [Gentle Wake-Up Alarms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonderwake.md) - [Motion-Sensing Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-sound-clock-alarmo.md)
