Answer:
Lunk Alarm is an app for smart devices that tracks your food intake. The LUNK team was working with researchers to develop the app, and they entered it in the SMU Pitch competition in 2013. The alarm goes off when someone exceeds their preset warning levels (i.e., 2600 calories) by 500 calories or more, and also provides real-time feedback on how close they are to reaching their goal weight.
Armed with this information, our device will hopefully be much less lunk-headed about what you’re doing; it’ll help give you a little nudge in the right direction! So next time your alarms go off stay away from snooze button and instead say hi to your friend, the Lunk Alarm!
The Lunk Alarm is set by the people who do work in the gym. It rings up if someone slams weights or grunts continuously, disrupting other customers that are trying to work out. Workers at the gym observe these customers and set the Lunk Alarm according to their attitude. The loud noise consists of a siren and the word LU-NK.
The only way to turn it off is if someone from your gym turns it off, or if you do 25 push ups, sit ups, dips, or squats.
The Lunk alarm was first introduced in August 21st 1999 on “Monday Night Football”. It is televised on ESPN. Now, many gyms have been using the Lunk Alarm as a tool for business as it brings more customers in as people want to check out these grunters.
