We use alarm clocks every day in order to make sure we wake up on time. Alarm clocks used to be a simple product that shows the time and rings when set. Here we put together a list of cool alarm clocks which not only wake you up but also make you work for them.
Here is an alarm clock that requires some effort to turn it off. You must throw the hand grenade alarm clock away like a true grenade in order to stop the madness. This could truly be what people want when waking up tired. The only problem is…it won’t get you out of bed.

Well, if you have kids, you could always scream at them to come into your bedroom and step on it for you…but that would seem a little more difficult.
This must be the best and cruelest way to get exercise…to battle with your alarm clock. It is a great and cool alarm clock that requires you to pick up the dumbbells in order to turn the ringing off and get back to sleep.

Every year, the French town of Menton hosts an event called the Lemon Festival in the world. The Lemon Festival usually takes place between mid-February until March. This is the second most important festival in France and draws in a crowd of over 250,000 people. During the festival, around 145 tons of oranges and lemons are sent into the town. Over 300 workers work together to make giant sculptures(雕塑) out of fruits.
Menton became the first producer of lemons in 1929. The lemons grown there are loved by the world’s star head cooks. Their special taste has led to Menton’s title as the Lemon Capital of France. In the late 19th century, a town parade was held to encourage Menton’s winter tourism. The project was designed by rich holiday-makers and finally Menton became the place to spend the winter months. Kings, princes and artists filled the great and comfortable hotels or their own fantastic houses. Because of its great success, the streets were beautifully planted with oranges and lemons in the following years. In order to develop tourism, in 1934 the Lemon Festival was officially born.
