Crack open a cold one without the lingering tuna smell: The Tuna Alarm Clock

tune-clockBe daring. Be different. Wake up in a whole new way with the Alarm Clock Tuna Can! If you crave individualism and long for expressing yourself in ways that are new and untapped by the masses, using a not so common alarm clock could be the first of many ways to shake up your life and those in it.

For the first few seconds, an alarm clock modeled after a can of tune (WTF?) seems pretty funny and cool. Then you come to the realization that the clock is hidden under the lid. Granted you can always pull the tin shroud back revealing the ultra econo-display that adorns the face of the clock. Hear that? It’s the sound of another novelty gift getting tossed into the bottom of someone else’s stocking. All jokes aside, it would be pretty funny to replace a tuna lovers cabinet with a collection of these and watch their face as they realize their entire stash has been compromised. Such a joke would be hilariously funny though cost prohibitive.

In the end, opening a can marked tuna without getting that clingy stench stuck to your ham fists is something we can all appreciate. $7.95 and it’s yours. Get ‘em while they’re hot cold!
