Hard Pass: Holiday Inn Express Launches Bacon-Scented Alarm Clock

I never understood people who are capable of eating bacon for breakfast, it's low-key one of the reason why I'm always booking morning BA flights in economy, because the sight itself makes my stomach sick 😀 I certainly don't fancy the idea of waking up to the smell of it in the morning because someone staying in the room before me set the alarm clock to bacon.

In many hotels (like the HI Express), you already get this "service" because the smell of cheap fried food wafts up from the kitchen and into your room every morning, starting at 0600 or so.

I guess “gross pancake machine” smell was taken.

The bacon alarm clock was first "invented" and pitched on Shark Tank years ago.
The concept included real bacon cooking! Not surprisingly, no offers were made, although Kevin O wanted to buy the prototype for himself.

Ah yes, I love the smell of endocrine disruptors in the morning

bacon scented stuff stopped being quirky and fun like a decade ago

Who still uses alarm clocks in this day and age? One of my hotel pet peeves is when an alarm clock isn’t reset and wakes me up at 4 AM or something.

They always have a light on them somewhere, so first thing I do is unplug it.

You may have religious considerations about this and I like bacon just fine but I think this is a bit much.

I will go out of my way to avoid this. What on earth sort of boardroom brainfart is this?

It tastes good, and it’s good for you. A perfect way to start the day!

Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered or in this case stupid initiatives needs to get slaughtered (roll eyes)

Kudos?? More like lawsuits waiting to happen. Some people are seriously allergic to scents. Is HIE going to pay for a trip to the emergency room or a replacement epi-pen if their diffuser alarm clock triggers a life-threatening reaction?

When was the last time you stayed in a Holiday Inn Express?

The trend is away from putting aromachemicals in everything. This is a bad idea.

The use of aromachemicals in everything is becoming less popular. This is not a good idea.
