Alarm Clock That Forces You to Work Out!

This may be my favorite annoying alarm clock from Japan (I LOVE arm exercises ;)

In order to make it stop, you must do some lifting, at least EIGHT bicep curls are required!
Comes in red, white and black, only 2980 yen for a great, original gift!

The many, many FUN alarm clocks from Japan:

We have Gun O clock- an alarm that does not go off until you do some target practice
A flying alarm clock- catch it, or else it screeches (perhaps THE most annoying one...)
A Grenade- throw it against wall to turn off

Order any of the alarm clocks via Rinkya Stores
