Announced on Oscar Mayer’s site, the Wake Up and Smell the Bacon alarm clock device is a small dongle that attaches to the bottom of your iPhone at the headphone jack. When connected to the Wake Up and Smell the Bacon mobile application, the alarm function will trigger a scented release from the dongle and your bedroom will be coated in a strong scent of delicious bacon.

Of course, the mixture of crushing disappointment and building rage that will ensue when you groggily realize that there’s no actual bacon for breakfast may cause you to smash your iPhone. That’s probably why Oscar Mayer isn’t planning on selling the device. They will be giving away a limited run of the bacon dongles through a promotion that ends during early April.

According to testers, the scent definitely has a smoky flavor. In addition, Oscar Mayer will be sending out a replacement refill with the dongle after the first one finally runs out. In addition to the scent, the Wake Up and Smell the Bacon mobile application plays the sound of crackling bacon grease as part of the experience.

If you are interested in the promotion, visit the Oscar Mayer’s site to enter. There’s also a ridiculous video announcing the product:

As Seen on the Internets: Bacon-scented iPhone Alarm Clock

When it comes to bacon, I cannot lie, it’s not my favorite.  And yet, with Oscar Mayer’s latest effort, I may just to have reconsider.  The company made three exclusive bacon packages — The Commander, The Matador, and The Woodsman — as giftably presentable as any aged bottle of Scotch, imported cigar, or culinary masterpiece.  Each boutique-like package boasts the four C’s, aka “the four facets of quality that transform an ordinary slice of pork belly into The Oscar Mayer Original Strip.”

Fine CUT, Dazzling COLOR, Timeless CONSISTENCY and Enduring CURE.

Bundled in The Commander is 18-20 Oscar Mayer Original Bacon Strips, a handsome stainless steel money-clip adorned with bacon, and a personal expression of your passion on elegant card stock.

The Matador switches the money clip for a set of dashing cufflinks crafted to show the fine lines of bacon.

The Woodsman chooses a rugged multi-tool etched with the subtle bacon lines in order to balance elegance with ruggedness.

With these gifts, which are frequently sold out but restocked daily at Oscar Mayer, Oscar Mayer dares you to “say it with bacon” and “fall in love with the original strip.”

Seriously, never before have I had to balance a sudden salivating hunger while acknowledging the perfect degree of ingenious dry wit present in the following marketable declaration from Oscar Mayer: “When words aren’t enough… Say it with bacon.” If Stephenie Meyer could shape her prose half as well as these tender syllables, then we would all be in trouble.
