It's an interesting concept, but imagine the person who is genuinely oblivious to the seductive (?) qualities of bacon aroma. Ergo, the device doesn't work its intended magic. I have a better one for you however, it's called the canned log alarm clock. Here's how it works....You obtain a bacon alarm clock, and instead of shoving a rasher of bacon in there, substitute a lump of damp dogs**t. Now the waves of revulsion that you are experiencing dear reader is unfortunate, but we're talking effectiveness here, not aesthetics. I guaran-damn-tee you that the vile stench of baking dogs**t will rouse the soundest sleeper. Come to think of it, this device could do double duty in reviving long term coma patients.Now, taking this working prototype and extending the concept just a tad, if the alarm clock could expel the payload to some unspecified point in the room (uncalculated arc) the lump of poo could be launched into...say your pile of dirty laundry for example. This has the unintended consequence of making you dig through your soiled underwear to find the piece of stinking dogs**t..and, having found it...might then make you do some laundry. It could also land on your bookshelves, or in the middle of the pile of cables beneath/behind your workstation. "What's the net benefit of this" you ask...well, the stench would wake you up for damn sure, and the knowlege that a piece of dogs**t is sitting somewhere in your room _will_ get you out of bed. Voila, the canned log alarm. Worth millions.
