Wake’N Bacon Tries To Cook Up A Deal | Shark Tank Worst Pitches

As Cuban said, none of that really matters. This is a cheap gag gift that you get for your dad or uncle. They will use it maybe one time ever.

Yeah it' would be a huge time expense to have to cook it, as well as financial expense to wake up every single day. Bacon is not cheap, raw or precooked.

[@justiceforall3739]

Wonder if he’s ever grilled his foot

[@sherlockwastaken]

You know what problem wasn’t addressed at all which surprises me is the smell of bacon *afterwards* that lingers in the room. That was my #1 concern. I would ask how long it stays in the room after you wake up and/or eat it. On top of that, a lot of people have pets. That would make both my dog and cat go crazy for it and mess with it, and I’d be asleep unable to keep them away. Worse for cat owners since they can jump higher. There’s a #2 concern. And they mentioned it as a gag gift for dad but most dads would be married and sharing the same room with their wife. That fried pig smell would have to be okay with the partner too so that eliminates many potential customers, not to mention just anyone living with other people in a small vicinity. And I love my bacon but not for every day, that would be unhealthy and also ruin the crave for it. There’s also the concern of curious kids putting something else in the box that makes it explode or catch fire. If I think more on it I could probably come up with more potential issues but it’s mainly an inconvenience over anything. Plus it’s not even a scientifically proven phenomenon - sure we may think we wake up to bacon but sometimes I didn’t and my mom would go “I cooked bacon earlier but you didn’t wake up.” I feel bad for the guy to go through the trouble of making something out of the idea but I don’t see it working well without going through more changes

[@SalisburySnake]

I assume it's also a conventional alarm clock after the bacon heats up. I don't think I've actually been awakened by a smell ever in my life.

[@BoboMcBooboy]

You're SERIOUSLY overthinking this...

[@joshdavis496]

Michael Scott haha

[@jasonjackson5696]

NYU University is redundant 😂😂

[@butterspike680]

"You mean like that episode of the office?" "No, it's completely different than that"

[@josiaharaki7310]

I think this idea has potential if you combine one of those scented oil burners with a smart device in the kitchen. When the alarm goes off, it begins spitting out bacon scent, then sends a wireless signal to a larger machine in the kitchen to switch from refrigerator to microwave. The Mythbusters were screwing around with a microwave once trying to create a "super microwave" and accidentally turned it into a refrigerator. Even with the default idea, I dont see how those heated oil air fresheners are fine but a microwave isnt.

[@walterwhite1268]

There Will Come Soft Rains

[@ankurbhaskar4634]

…….What

[@user_proton]

The whole point of device is for lazy people to have breakfast served in bed. If they have to get up, go to kitchen and eat- may not be that much appealing.

[@hc3369]

Going off of the shark's comments about people wanting bacon only in the kitchen... can't you simply put this oven/clock in the kitchen instead of the bedroom? Who's to say you simply can't do that? Having automatic bacon heating up and ready to eat at let's say 7:15 AM in the morning works for some people and only 13 bucks? I'd personally get one for myself, or a gift for sure. Thoughts?

[@shieeetface]

Yes. Guy gave a terrible presentation. Your statement should've been the pitch.

[@goodasnewrepairs]

It cost him $13

[@GuamaniumPuertoRican]

$13 to make a unit. Not the price

[@diamondplayz2145]

[@wintercame]

Andy says it was Shark Tank that called him and who was he to turn down the offer. He's done a bazillion other things since then (this was Series 2.)

[@thesheq5023]

Honestly he would be successful if he marketed it as a alarm hotplate- kinda how coffee pots have the option to prebrew at a certain time, but as a hotplate… then you’re removing the idea of bedside altogether and it’s a “device for people who want bacon but don’t have the time”

[@longbeacheli]

They really wanted to buy the box 😂

[@user-wn9xz6ry8f]

I would probably buy this but only use it in the kitchen and obviously cook/heat the food immediately but not overnight

[@draculastraphouse7863]

Wait until you find out that microwaves and small air fryer ovens exist, it'll blow your mind

[@FortWhenTeaThyme]

This doesn't cook the food, it just reheats it.

[@__1201]

Doesn't seem like he thought this through. It would be a lot easier to design it with a bacon scented air freshner (they alreay have them) that sprays when the alarm goes off. As an added bonus you could use any scent you'd like.

[@andybell4652]

[@Jordan-rb28]

He didn't even give a cook time, just a "reheat" time, which means you have to fry/bake it in the kitchen first? Or does the RAW bacon just sit there overnight in a warm box lol?

[@ericsundman1]

You can buy pre cooked refrigerated bacon in store

[@Jordan-rb28]

@ericsundman1 that sounds miserable tbh lol, but I don't think they were insinuating that in the pitch

[@happymood888]

Great idea

[@MeatMachine69]

Robert just went up a notch in my book, that puts him at notch 1

[@shadypelican]

The concept at it's core--to be woken up by lovely smells--isn't a terrible one. But this is executed poorly. I would do an alarm clock that you could fill with scented oils that would release at a specific time. But of course, you would have to use YOUR company's "specially formulated and proprietary oil blend" for "certified" use of the clock (and using any other oil will void the warranty!) Don't sell the printer, sell the ink!

[@ivanfaingold1653]

Dude would've been better off trying to sell 5 of these to the sharks at $100/item than asking for investors. He's too early in the process to seek their expertise.

[@Shah-of-the-Shinebox]

Honestly, i would've given Mr. Wonderful the pig box for $300.

[@dattridge]

I can't believe none of the sharks asked if this guy had any idea of the concept of food safety. you can't put strips of unrefrigerated bacon in a box and let them sit overnight and not expect them to be loaded with bacteria in the morning. The only reason precooked bacon is sold unrefrigerated is because they are sealed in a cryovac package. Once that seal is broken you have to eat it or refrigerate it.

[@chillbest14]
