The candle is made of slices of wax with one insertable
material which causes the candle to start sputtering (possibly loudly) and giving out a pleasent/unpleasant smell.
(???) Baked since there were kids, apparently...

Alarm candles are anciently Baked. So, of course, are scented candles. Is the combination worth a mountain of words? Probably not. [DrCurry, Oct 20 2002, last modified Oct 17 2004]
(?) Now, *this* is an invention

An alarm clock that lights a candle. From the days when that was the only option. [DrCurry, Oct 20 2002, last modified Oct 17 2004]

You could put a pyrotechnic whistle cartridge into a slot in the side of the candle. when the wick burns down, the candle whistles loudly, and as a bonus there will be ite wonderful fragrance of gunpowder to enjoy ... loveley. |

I've had these on a birthday cake. They whistle and sparkle and make heaploads of smoke and everyone in the house says "oh my, I think we should take this outside." |

In Denmark they market candles by the length of time that they burn ("1 timer" = 1 hour and so on up to 8 timer) and they are pretty accurate, so it seems to me that this idea is possible. |

Instead of sputtering perhaps something that emits a high pitched squeal or whistle, like that you sometimes hear in a campfire, might work. Maybe it could be a beads of much slower melting wax designed with holes in them so they whistle when the time is up. |

I want one thats sprays molten wax all over everything. *That* will get you up. |

It isn't quite the same thing, but the sharper image sells an alarm clock with lights and aromatherapy. The light gradually gets brighter, as does the sound, and it has a resevoir for aroma therapy oils to stimulate your smell to wake you up also. |

[DrCurry]: That looks like a thing I saw at the Time Museum in Rockford. Wonder if they're identical. |

Candle that smells like the house is burning to the ground? Would that also set off the smoke alarm? Thats the perfect get me up in the morning............. |
