10. Bacon-Scented Alarm Clock
Waking up to bacon? Sounds dreamy. The Bacon Alarm Clock attachment by Oscar Mayer plugged into your smartphone and released the smell of sizzling bacon to rouse you from slumber. It was an ad campaign turned real product, and it garnered massive attention online, though only a limited number were produced.
It may have been part joke, part publicity stunt—but people wanted it. The project blurred the line between marketing and manufacturing. Even though it wasn’t available for everyone, the buzz it generated was proof enough of demand. Sometimes, all it takes is meat-scented nonsense to wake up the internet.
