normally i wake up to the smell of something good, lik bacon, buti think waking up to the smell of wasabi would warn me about a hazard. :) 8) yay wasabi:) 8) !

Dipika
i think the wasbi fire alarm is a good idea because although it is painful it would wake you up very effectively and because fire alarms sometimes be heard propely unlike the way wasbi will react to your

by using timgs like this we are increasing the canc3s ofnpeple surviving house fires, it is aso less likey tha you might sleep through it as some people might with normal fire alarms.

hello i think wasbi as a fire alarm is a wild idea becuse how would you be able to test it and what if you where alergict to it!:)
Scott Taylor
it a stange response to needing a fire alarm and having it might work but Iwould say a water bucket in the face would work better

Wasabi fire alarm wont work if you eat as much chilli as I do. Someone needs to invent the Parma Violet alarm for us scotch bonnet eating capiscum ninjas.

WASABI IS VERY HOT SO I THINK IT IS A GOOD IDEA BECAUSE THEN IT WILL WAKE THE PEOPLE UP, BUT IT COULD HURT YOUR EYSX
Joe
What happens when someone burns the toast? A more effective method is needed, of course, but until the toast conundrum is solved I’ll be sticking to the annoying bleep bleep bleep chuffing bleep.
Pinky
yup wildy-wild infact t’is fantastic
Phillis

Celin J Alappat

Fozy

Fozy2

Chloe

Benedict Allem
The idea and concept is certainly good on the whole but I can’t see it cheap enough to reach mass market when conventional systems do the trick.
James
Iwould rather like to smell the smell of bacon
Cameron Boyall
I think it is very interesting and i have learnt a lot thank you
Matthew
i’m usually woken by my 8 month old son :)
Big Steve

Alice

Ishay

i think i isa very clever idea except it would make me want to eat sushi. maybe the smell of rotten eggs would be more appropriate.
EPIC T. MCSPOONER
I THINK FASABI WIRE ALARMS ARE A ILLY SIDEA!
Kahwee
how are we supposed to check whether the alarm is working or not?
Sam
an absolute revelation. ths could save lives and provide huge advances in the safety industry, keep up the good work
Loityupie
i think that the food should be more weird like fried shoe and elbow casirowl
Sensible Man
what if your mate makes sushi for a suprise meal?
@happymichael
Quite a clever idea! Out of the box thinking!!
Paul
A perfect solution for all. As long as it wakes you up and saves lives, it is a great invention.
Turbo
what hapens when it gos off from your cooking and when the can runs out how dose it save you?
Donna And Mai
yay for wasabi fire alarms! good job team!
Julia
Weird idea. Reeeeeally weird. I think normal alarms work better anyways. And there’s no danger of accidently eating it…
Amanda The Panda
i think its great that we are using another sense rather than just our hearing in order to save lives
Millie And Hannah
we think this is a great idea because it stinks, pheeeew!
Thea 123
I think it is a very good idea because it will wake my brother up as he is a very deep sleeper
Michele
sounds better than being awoken by an awful noise, and, in case of false alarms, less of a nuisance for neighbours!
Thg
cool good idea
Emma Stein
id much prefer to be woken up to the smell of a full cooked irish brekkie!!! Nom nom nom
