Cell phone Dangers. Somethings have to be seen. (video)
We have heard of the dangers of cell phone radio waves, heck the things are right up against your head so there is a possibility that something is happening. Watch this little video, (it's not gross) but it will make you wonder.

1. This has been debunked many times
This is from a set of viral videos that were made to promote some sort of cell phone headset. It is physically impossible to pop corn with the minuscule power output of a cell phone.

4. it's true
it turned my brain to popcorn.
:crazy:

seriously ... if you ever see anything that smells of a hoax, check snopes.com first.
This viral video was made by a company that makes headsets for cellphones -- yup, it's not a home movie, just a deceptive annoying advertising campaign.

6. Probably CGI. Who knows.
I did notice that there's a table covering in all of the videos. Maybe there's a hot plate under there or something.

7. Wouldn't the hot plate melt or burn the table cover?

9. I saw a video showing how it was done. Very simple, actually.
Someone dropped the popped corn from above out of camera range. An unpopped kernel was digitally removed each time a popped kernel "appeared". Very simple, but effective.

11. Well, I'll be.
Thanks for that. I always wondered how they did that. The table covering was probably to help the popcorn bounce.
