I actually saw a video that shows how this was done. They took a magnetron from a microwave and stuck it the the underside of the table. After hooking the magnetron back up to the microwave using an extension, they hid the microwave & turned it on & then placed the popcorn kernals over the spot on the table where the magnetron was hidden. It wasn’t clever editing or camera trickery; the kernals actually popped, but it wasn’t the cell phones that did it. Note: in the video, the kernals were spaced far enough apart so that there was little possibilty of a popped kernal disturbing the others. Since the microwave energy was coming from the underside of the table, it heated the underside of the kernal, which when it popped would cause it to jump almost straight up. If anyone is interested, here’s a link to that video: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1399627/cell_phone_popcorn_hoax_revealed/

[...] FAKE!!!!!!!!!! Hehe man I love screaming that, but seriously, this one is super faked in so many ways… http://www.sogoodblog.com/2008/06/10/who-is-behind-the-cell-phone-popcorn-videos/http://gawker.com/tag/hoax/?i=395434&t=whos-trying-to-convince-everyone-that-cell-phones-pop-popcornFrom the articles…. It's scientifically impossible. Snopes already covered a similar hoax about cooking eggs with phones. As Snopes explains, the energy emitted by mobile phones isn't nearly powerful enough to sufficiently raise the food's temperature. A British TV show debunked the myth when it failed to even warm an egg under a pile of a hundred phones. And a YouTube commenter explains further: "A 1 kilowatt microwave takes around one minute to pop its first kernel, and that's in a closed environment. A cell phone transmitter operates from 0.1 to 1 watt, but this video shows these kernels popping almost immediately."A poor grasp of science leads people to fear the technology around them. Everyone's vaguely aware that phones use radio waves, so they misapply the concept. The phones in the video are merely ringing, which only means they're receiving the radio waves that are always around us. If those waves popped popcorn, there wouldn't be an unpopped kernel left in the U.S. [...]

I think they are drinking momossa’s and the ad will be for a bluetooth. The English speaking version displays some bad acting, why does the guy go behind the girl after the popcorn has popped? Is he scared?
