Rocket Launcher Alarm Clock – may your zoom be fruitful and your splashdown light

This Rocket Launcher Alarm Clock reminds us of the time we were abducted by aliens while picking up the laundry a while back. Well actually it doesn’t really, because these particular beings arrived in a rather battered VW Golf, but perhaps the story’s best left for another time, eh? Anyhoo, here we have yet another variation on the ‘hunt the maddening alarm clock component in the dark’ meme, which should immediately give you pause. Or snooze. £19.99.

Has anyone ever said that you ‘need a rocket put under you’ to get you out of bed in the morning? Well, we wouldn’t recommend you literally try this, but the Rocket Launcher Alarm Clock is the next best thing! This alarm clock wakes you up to a countdown and then when the count is up, the rocket launches from its pad and heads for the sky. Then the alarm sounds and to make sure that you get out of bed, you have to find where the rocket has landed to silence it!
