Are you too tired to get up in the morning? What about using a special alarm clock? You cannot help but wake up from your sleep.

Oscar Mayer, a Glenview, U.S.-based company, recently launched an innovative alarm. It works using a smartphone application called ¡°Wake Up & Smell the Bacon.¡± If you set an alarm on the app, it will wake you up with the sound of frying bacon.

That is not all. If you plug a scent dongle, an electronic device, into your smartphone jack, you can smell cooked bacon! How is it possible? Since there is a bottle of bacon-scented artificial liquid inside of the device, it gives off the scent when the alarm rings.

You can also look at the images of strips of bacon being cooked in a frying pan on your cellphone. It helps you get out of bed in a good mood.

For now, only iPhone users can download the app while Android and Windows Phone users cannot. Also, the devices are not on sale. The company gives away the devices to people once a day in a lottery. If you want, you can apply for a chance to win on their official website, http://wakeupandsmellthebacon.com/.
