Oscar Mayer creates bacon-scented alarm clock app

MADISON, Wis.

There's an app for that.

Oscar Mayer says it has created a bacon-scented app for the iPhone, developed by the Madison-based company's Institute for the Advancement of Bacon.

The company says that to emit a small puff reminiscent of bacon, the user needs an external device that plugs into the headphone jack. The app itself produces the sound of bacon sizzling in a pan.

The company is making a limited number of the aroma-producing devices, which won't be for sale.

In order to get your hands on one of these devices, you have to enter a contest on the company's website. Oscar Mayer is giving away 4,700 devices starting Thursday. The contest runs through April 4.
