Bacon has truly been on the rise in recent years. I’m pretty sure I’ve heard from more bacon lovers this decade than I’ve met in my entire lifetime. And seizing upon this phenomenon is Oscar Mayer. They’ve just unveiled a brand new iPhone alarm app that, coupled with a small dongle, will deliver the sights, sounds, and smells of bacon as you wake up in the morning, right on your nightstand. Though the aromatic and aural excitement is sure to attract multitudes of bacon fans worldwide, I have to think that some people are going to be bummed out when they open their eyes after a snooze and realize that they’ll have to cook the stuff themselves if they actually want to ingest some of that greasy goodness. Oscar Mayer will not be held responsible if you eat your phone.

But the good news is that you can win one totally free. All you need to do is visit the Oscar Mayer Institute for the Advancement of Bacon and take a short quiz. Then, take stock of your life and ponder why you didn’t get a P.H.D. from the Oscar Mayer Institute for the Advancement of Bacon.
