Money-Shredding Alarm Clock

Need an extra incentive to get moving in the morning? How does a stack of hundred dollar bills being shredded if you do not get up in time sound..

Picture embedded below.



"This design concept might be more sight gag than real product, but it’s clever nonetheless. Bringing new meaning to the phase “you snooze, you lose,” when you place this unforgiving clock across the room from your bed, if you don’t get up when the alarm sounds, it’s going to cost you.

Might we suggest at first being easy on yourself, placing a lower-denomination bill into this sleeper’s trap before you start punishing yourself too much. From the looks of these pics, that shredder does a thorough job of destroying currency or whatever else you’d like to place into it. And look at that — the designer has placed not one, but what looks like a stack of $100 bills into the clock’s hungry maw.
"

Careful; using this alarm clock means you may be breaking the federal law prohibiting the intentional destruction of US currency. You could argue the 'intention aspect', though it may be better to put something else in there. If you are nervous you could exchange the currency for a check made out to cash and put it in the clock instead.
