Oscar Mayer Creates Sizzling Bacon Scented Alarm that Wakes You Up with Your iPhone

How much do you love bacon? Would you want to wake up to the smell of it every morning? If rising to the scent of sizzling meat is your dream, then Oscar Mayer may have made your wish come true. The company has created a device that, when paired with an iPhone, emits the smell of bacon in order to wake you up.

 So how does it work? The device itself is a dongle that you plug into your iPhone's headphone jack, according to Mashable. When paired with the accompanying iOS app, the device releases the smell of bacon as an alarm sounds.

This isn't the first time that Oscar Meyer has released a bacon-themed product. Last year, the company launched an e-commerce site that encouraged people to give bacon-themed gifts for Father's Day, according to USA Today.

"With nearly two million mentions of #bacon on Instagram, it seems that people never get tired of bacon. That's why our team decided to develop a device to give folks what they long for most," said Tom Bick, senior director of integrated marketing and advertising at Oscar Meyer in a news release. "As the category leader, Oscar Mayer is thrilled to bring the first-ever, bacon-scented mobile device to market, giving bacon aficionados a new reason to welcome their morning alarm clocks."

 Want this device for yourself? You may be out of luck. Oscar Mayer is only creating a limited amount of these devices. Instead, you'll only be able to get the device if you enter a contest, which is the latest project of the Oscar Mayer Institute for the Advancement of Bacon, according to Tech Times. In order to participate, you can enter on Oscar Mayer's website.
