“The first Snooz-Alarm clocks were built to let you snooze for 10-15 minutes. However, mass production required some standardization and in the 1950s a double digit snooze was too complicated to program into the gears of a clock at scale. So GE got as close as they could with a nine minute snooze”

I always wondered why it was a nine minute snooze. Though I had a Sony Alarm Clock that snoozed for 8 minutes.
