The BAKON is the best (probably actually the worst) alarm clock you’ll ever own (build with your own two hands). The premise is simple, just set the time you want to wake up and this nifty little waste of time will cook you some bacon and wake you up to the smell of cooked pig and the sound of oinks.

With BAKON you simply place your frozen bacon in the “alarm” the night before, go to bed and wake up to some delicious food. Then again if you sleep for 12 hours at a time like my wife, you might just wake up to food poisoning.

Sure it’s hilarious, but I literally want to punch the inventor in the face, that oinking is annoying and well…the video above speaks for itself.

Special thanks to the team at Instructables for wasting my time with this invention. Serious though, I at least got a laugh out of it. Go to their website to see how you can build your very own BAKON.

Bakon: The Bacon-Flavored Vodka

The aptly named “Bakon” is described as a “superior quality potato vodka with a savory bacon flavor.” Because apparently, that’s just the flavor the world’s been craving.

The company behind Bakon — a beverage-maker called Black Rock Spirits, which has a coming-soon-style page up on its own Web site — says it wanted to create a “savory” alternative to the sweet vodka varieties currently on the market. Teams worked for two years, Black Rock says, to refine the formula. And what they came up with — well, I’ll let them describe it for you:

“It’s clean, crisp, and delicious. This is the only vodka you’ll ever want to use to make a Bloody Mary, and it’s a complementary element of both sweet and savory drinks.”

“Bakon Vodka is also a great Bar-B-Q companion. Use it in a marinade or sip it chilled with a steak.”

“No tinge or burn on the tongue, no obnoxious smoky or chemical flavors, just a clean refreshing potato vodka with delicious savory bacon flavor.”

While I’m not quite fully convinced this isn’t some sort of joke, Black Rock Spirits sure seems to be serious (even if it does refer to the bacon-flavored vodka as a “seductive indulgence”).

Bakon is currently said to be available in “limited quantities” in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. Black Rock — based in Seattle — anticipates expanding its distribution in the future, if the demand is there.

Update: A Seattle news station reports sales of Bakon are “sizzling.” Even so, part of me still thinks it has to be some kind of well-orchestrated prank. I mean…bacon-flavored vodka? Really?

I’m sorry but I never got this whole bacon is God meme that has become almost a subplot for all the stupid things found on the web. Sure, okay maybe I can grasp the idea that bacon salt might be a nice addition to the condiment tray but anything else beyond eggs on the side is getting ridiculous.

However that doesn’t stop some folks coming up with other ways to ride the bacon wave as you can see by the bottle of Bakon Vodka at the top of the post. Not happy with just perverting a great liquor the folks behind this abomination have a whole slew of different recipes you can use to speed up your trip to the Great White Telephone.

Indulge if you will but I’m outta here.
