var hours = [12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11];
var minutes = ["00", "05", 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55];


timeObj = add([{}], "p", periods);
timeObj = add(timeObj, "h", hours);
timeObj = add(timeObj, "m", minutes);

times = []
for (t of timeObj) {
  times.push(t.h + ':' + t.m + ' ' + t.p);
}

console.log(times)

function add(tab, prop, val) {
  var result = [];
  for (t of tab) {
    for (v of val) {
      tc = _.clone(t);
      tc[prop] = v;
      result.push(tc);
    }
  }
  return result
}
