The internet is going crazy over a viral video posted last week.  The video has no ties to any marketing groups, but it does a great job of getting itself out to all the YouTubers in the world.

Honestly, who looked at that video and believed that it was real?  Cellphones cannot pop corn, let’s just make that clear.  To further prove my point here is Jenna Wortham’s post over on the Underwire blog, Physicist Debunks Cellphone Popcorn Viral Video.

A hotplate underneath a makeshift table [like they have in the video] is the easiest way to get the kernels to pop.  Sorry for those who didn’t think logically on this… I know the crappy camera handling makes it seem more realistic, but you’ve been had.

Go buy some Jiffy Pop and pop corn over your stove top, it should excite you for a few minutes.

   Same thing happens when you use 4 Wii controllers and turn them all on at the same time. It’s true, try it.
