Popcorn popping (lol thread)

[SithCait22]

So on the news here, there was just this story about how cellphones can radiate enough radio waves to pop popcorn. Who really thinks this is true? Some say it is, some say its fake. The people who believe it say that the old phones released more radio waves making it possible....thoughts....comments?

Whoever suggests that you can pop popcorn with a cellphone is probably mildly retarded.

That's true because if someone's cell phone could pop popcorn, the radio waves would damage their brain.

This is not possible. Just no. We would all have serious brain complications if this were true.

I saw this on youtube by accident. I want to try it just for kicks, looks interesting. I highly doubt this is possible...

This was proved to be fake.

Moreover, the original video demonstrating this was uploaded by a Bluetooth-backed company, and was intended to start a consumer panic about cell phone radiation. This would have led to the public learning about how Bluetooth reduces cell phone radiation a hundred times over, and thus, increased Bluetooth sales.

In a sense, the marketing ploy worked. The video itself prompted more people to look at cell phone radiation, and news stations gave Bluetooth positive reviews in regard to the lowered radiation because of public interest on the matter. Bluetooth companies are now laughing all the way to the bank.

Viral marketing executives :1
Consumer whores: 0

Oh and Waffl3, there are already reports of brain tumors caused by cell phone radiation, but generally inflicted upon those who talk on their phones more than it's on their belt. There are sites that list cell radiation, a google search should give you some idea.

You know, that was actually a worth-while bump. Good job man.

Re: Popcorn popping (lol thread)

they do it by placing a magnetron from a microwave under the table.
now THAT will give you brain tumors.
