Oscar Myer Bacon iPhone app let's you wake up to the sizzling smell of bacon - the alarm clock works like a charm according to reports.

The 'wake up and smell the coffee' adage is now 'wake up and smell the bacon' instead. Most people stopped having bacon bacon after medical journals told us in the '80s and '90s that the pig skin-like meat is too fight in fats.

But now we can smell it and don't have to worry about eating it. What will Apple Inc. come up with next. A recent report confirmed that the Cupertino, California firm joined a Danish company to make earphones sync'd wirelessly to all iDevices.

Oscar Myer couldn't have been happier with this iPhone app since it is hoping that people will set their alarm to the 'bacon' setting, leading to more consumption of the 'pig-meat'.

There are two parts to the Oscar Myer Bacon app. The first is an iOS app that wakes you app. And the second is an iPhone scent dongle. It even releases bacon smoke that enhances your olfactory senses even more.

You can download the iOS app for free but the dongle will be given to the winners of Oscar Myer contest. Testers from Slate.com said the sound of sizzling bacon does leave you with more that a little temptation.

The Oscar Mayer Institute for the Advancement of Bacon unveiled an iPhone app-based device enabling people to wake up every morning to the sound and smell of sizzling, smoking bacon. The inventor of the Wienermobile is looking for a new way to connect to the younger generation by capitalizing on the interest in smartphones.

In order to make the device work, Oscar Mayer says to download the Wake Up & Smell the Bacon app, and the detachable device goes into the iPhone headphone jack of an iPhone; the rest is self-explanatory - "savor the scent of sizzling bacon," the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
