This Dynamite Alarm Clock can get you in a lot of trouble, if you're planning some mischief

If you're a fan of funny-looking alarm clocks, then this Dynamite-shaped one will surely make it on your shopping list in an instant. The idea for such a design is not new at all, in fact, there are quite a lot of similarly themed alarm clocks around, depicting various infernal machines, from traditional, cartoon-like spherical bombs with a fuse to intricate and complex designs with a lot of wires and buttons and other details. Nevertheless, if we were to judge by the lifelikeness factor, it would seem only fair to award the first prize to the Dynamite Alarm Clock, since it looks like a very realistic (though a tad too brightly colored) replica of a 3-pack dynamite bomb.

This contraption can make a very cool and amusing gift for one of your friends, as long as you're sure that he/she can appreciate such a kind of humor. The price is absolutely cool, as it retails for just under 30 bucks, and this means you'll not have to break your piggy bank.

Thanks to its very neat looks, you could even use the Dynamite Alarm Clock as a present in a situation that would require way more expensive presents: its shiny (bizarrely happy) appearance will surely be an instant hit. Yet, this gadget comes with one major issue, namely it isn't by any means safe to leave home while carrying it with you, in your bag or other luggage. Its (for some) too realistic design can really get you in a lot of trouble, actually. And we're not talking only about attempting to get aboard a plane with this alarm clock among your stuff...

At the same time, make sure that you don’t leave or forget it somewhere else, as it will most likely cause a lot of panic and will have the state troops hurry to that place at once. Even if you think such a prank could be a very cool thing, please do remember that there are a lot of people out there who have absolutely no sense of humor when it comes to this kind of jokes.

Yet, if you're not planning any mischief, the Dynamite Alarm Clock would surely make a great addition to your collection of weird alarm clocks. Once again, it comes at a price of less than $30.
