If you ask me, alarm clocks that wake you with the cooking of bacon are the fast track to experiencing the wonders of modern medicine and the joys of open-heart surgery before you are thirty. That little disclaimer aside, lets take a look at the Wake N’ Meat, because it is most certainly a unique alarm clock that can save yourself the trouble of preparing yourself a tasty breakfast treat each morning.

According to the maker:

A frozen strip of bacon is placed in Wake n’ Bacon the night before. Because there is a 10 minute cooking time, the clock is set to go off 10 minutes before the desired waking time. Once the alarm goes off, the clock it sends a signal to a small speaker to generate the alarm sound. We hacked the clock so that the signal is re-routed by a microchip that in responds by sending a signal to a relay that throws the switch to power two halogen lamps that slow-cook the bacon in about 10 minutes.

While turning bacon into a staple breakfast food might not be the best idea, health-wise, it would certainly make waking up a lot more delicious. [Mathlete via Geekologie]
