Who hasn't felt the urge, when jolted awake by a peace-shattering alarm clock, to hurl the thing against the nearest wall? For morning grumps in Japan, there is now an alarm that allows them to let off some steam: a clock that looks like a hand grenade.
As soon as the grenade look-alike with a built-in digital clock sounds off in the mornings, its user can feel free to fire it into a corner. A motion sensor 'disarms' it, and its soft shell minimizes damage to the alarm and the owner's belongings
The 2,000 yen ($17.50) clock has been especially popular among young people, a spokesman for its maker, Tokyo Trading, said Monday.
For sports fans, the company also offers a 'throw and stop' alarm in the form of a football or baseball.
