Bacon smelling gadget Phone: hotdigitalnews.com |
In a nation of bacon butty lovers like Great Britain, this wacky gadget would surely go down a treat.
A US meat firm sent its customers diffusers for their iPhones which make a sizzling sound and give out the whiff of bacon when it is time to wake up.
The gadgets were delivered in padded boxes along with bacon-scented liquid and a charger. They are plugged into the audio jack of the phone and work with an official app.
Technology writer Mike Wehner received his this week.
He wrote for The Unofficial Apple Weblog: "After filling the device with a few drops of bacon scent, I set the alarm for my normal wake-up time and hit the pillow.
"At 6:30am I was awoken by a sizzling sound from the app and a sizable puff of bacon fragrance which dominated the room and led my wife to ask me what the hell was going on. 'It's my bacon phone,' I said in a pre-coffee haze, and hit the snooze."
However he admitted he was still "too lazy" to actually get up and cook some bacon.
The diffusers are the brawn-child of Oscar Meyer, which sent them to people who registered for its Wake Up And Smell The Bacon online competition.
