Anyone care to comment on whether popping pop-corn with mobile (cell) phones is a reality? A number of video clips are appearing on the internet demonstrating it but it could of course be contrived: http://www.koreus.com/video/telephone-portable-mais-popcorn.html

Obvious hoax. Consider how hot popcorn has to get to pop. Do you feel any heating with a cell phone next to your body? Less intuitively, consider the difference in power density levels. The smallest microwave generates hundreds of Watts of rf power, the typical oven generates over a
