Videos: Popping Popcorn With Cell Phones

This is a video of people popping a few kernels of popcorn using nothing but cell phones. A ton of similar videos have appeared on Youtube recently (more posted after the jump). Needless to say, they're fake. It's just a variation of the "cook an egg with a cellphone" hoax that went around a few years ago. And as awesome as it would be to save $8 by sneaking in and popping your own popcorn in the movie theater, it ain't gonna happen. If cell phones had to power to actually pop corn, my girlfriend's head would have exploded years ago.

Hit the jump for several more of the FAKE! videos.

Thanks to Trev and Daniel, who use the more traditional jet engine method for popping corn
