I saw this thing in the Internet(Youtube,etc...). People are popping popcorn using their mobile phones. Maybe they put it on heated tables or stuff like that. I didn't test this yet, but I'll leave it to the Mythbusters.
By the way, this is how it works:
a. Put some popcorn grains in a flat surface.
b. Put 2-5 cellphones on each side of the popcorns depending on the number of grains.
c. Call each of the cellphones at the same time(one phone for each phone of course).

I don't know if this really works. The kernels(I think) may pop, and you can eat it. Maybe its because of the microwaves emitted by the call, if there's any. Oh well, let's just try this out and bust this. Tell me what you think.

Seems very unlikely, but interesting.
If this were true that we would suffer minor burns to the ear lobe and face as the result of a call. I would suggest you test this yourself, then tell us all your results.

Totally untrue, the original video was an ad for a Bluetooth headset & the popcorn popping was faked.
