Internet cell phone popcorn HOAX - secret revealed

[tnash71]

Luckily our brains aren't made of popcorn...or are they? Just don't put the goddamn phone next to your head while it's ringing, bitches.

[rovert40]

I don't think his idea worked, lol.

[jlcopp3915]

so you are telling me... this guy did this joke... I knew it was with a "microwave"... if this guy did this... hey... he isn't someone you want to buy a product with... I don't buy it... this was NOT a joke... to folks like me that work in telecom...

[MrBiejos]

Another lying, low quality, capitalist!

I stopped using cell phones last year!!!

[Saeon]

not exactly sure why everyone is freaking out. it was a fun thing to watch at the time, and cool. I knew it was fake immediately but it was just clever. what's this ridiculous notion of suing ? all you idiots need to lighten up.

[qwertyvishnu]

that guy thinx its hilarious. . DA ...

[massari4u]

I don't know of I should laugh or cry at this, their marketing method needs some serious evaluation, use something else driving and cell phone maybe, like here in ontario cops give u a ticket between $250 to $500 to talk on the phone while driving, to me that's a better motivation to use a headset then a , popcorn cell video

[danushkabandara]

most irresponsible ad I ve seen. They should be sued for this

[Dinimess2k7]

@danushkabandara Classic American culture - sue sue sue.

[gypsy43]

Call bullshit

[TRU2myHEART]

funny? nthis is supposed to be funny? FRYING OUR BRAINS IS FUNNY? Stealth maketing? He daid stay tuned a next is coming" Great I can hardly fucking wait. Damn these evil people to hell. This makes me so friiggin mad. SO MAD I GOT THE BOOK,CellPhones by Dr George Carlo........'cont........

[Helwor]

@TRU2myHEART many many other thing are toxic unfortunately, scandal of GMO, Codex Alimentarius, chemtrail, etc

[Helwor]

ahaha... the ceo can joke on millions of people, and throw shit to people, he'll never be punished for anything

[TRU2myHEART]

@Helwor i will post dr carlos warnings on my page because i am blocked from posting here

[SkittlesTheLucario]

Wait, I don't actually remember seeing anything about blue tooth headsets. I think he just may have failed.

[mikefromspace]

popcorn cannot heat from microwaves. A popcorn bag heats up popcorn using a metal vapor deposition coated bag. The metal microdots are spaced just enough to make microsparks, and thus microheat from those sparks.

The same principle is used in radar absorbing paint.

[Helwor]

@mikefromspace lol, try to make popcorn without your fucking bag ad it will work, thats all lol.

[mikefromspace]

@Helwor

You are just a troll. No cell phones can make popcorn pop, hell, a microwave itself can't even do it!!! You have to get the microwave to heat up the bag to make the stuff pop. Grow a brain loser.

[TRU2myHEART]

@mikefromspace fuck shit fuck fuck fuck....... no erroer try again here...........

[mikefromspace]

@TRU2myHEART wtf?

if anyone has a real video done close up using a high speed camera (1000+fps) this would possibly verify it works, but this popcorn thing is a HUGE waste of time fake video.

[Helwor]

@mikefromspace you re funny, I just use to make popcorn in any paper bag, don t need any special one fool, can t you try before insulting ppl you stoopid :p

[fancynewbeesly27]

how would this promote headsets?!?

[PrKid718]

IDK,but I was thinking,maybe cell phone users would get scared of holding cell phones to their ears because their head might explode,lol..Therefore,they will get bluetooth,which might be 'safer'.. Thats what I think.

[mikefromspace]

@fancynewbeesly27

because people don't want the cell phone next to their head if it's blowing brain cells. A bluetooth device counters this problem by transmitting on a safe freq' to a more distant cell phone.

[mgfhd]

ohh my God!! now i can go on with my life!!!

[nativekeyz]

@mgfhd I think that this thing really does work and cell phones really do mess with your brain and this guy is just trying to debunk because there is sooo much money in cell phones

[hbrumfield]

A friend wrote to tell me this proved her husband's death was caused by his cell phone. I had sent her the link before checking it out.

To the marketing "genius" who came up with this cruel hoax: When you go to sleep tonight, please take a moment to think about the immense hurt you unnecessarily caused people like her just so you could sell some headsets. Not to mention the unwarranted safety concerns you raised in many minds.

You should be ashamed. But apparently not, as shown on CNN.

[jayisme01]

There are idiots who will bend to this type of ad nonsense. I wouldn't buy this clowns product - ever.

[imjoeimjoe]

Some day I hope people will wake up and realize they are surrounded by these ads all the time and don't realize it. And before u even think of it, of course it doesnt make u buy their specific brand but it does make the general public buy more headsets in general which means that theirs will be bought too!!!! Ohhhhhh! now go to my account and watch the alien 5 preview.....

[freddyvoetsch]

Good marketing, they got on CNN for free and you and I are talking about it.

[PopArtDiva]

Exactly, how did this stunt help their bluetooth headset brand?

[nyycegy]

Well, we are sitting here discussing their product, whereas otherwise, we would not be...

[DarkestSidesoftheSun]

stealth advertising?

ha thats a good 1!

[FCTB]

Its so obvious you make popcorn with your cell phones then you will have to call your friends to come eat it with you but since you have your hands dirty with the butter thats when a headset come sin handy

[ogmakids]

think first before you act

[SloterMFmeyer]

FAIL - everybody knows the hoax, nobody knows the product.

[Nielsx1]

idd wtf were they thinking LOL

what has a headset to do with popcorn popping

[PopArtDiva]

My thought exactly!

[TRU2myHEART]

@SloterMFmeyer error error error when i try to enter an intelligent response but uf i type fuck fuck fuck it okay WTF???????? censorship is here NOW... WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

[BigStuffedHorse]

Lol.

[razordu30]

BS that he didn't mean to insinuate holding a cellphone to your head is dangerous. You're insinuating there's enough radiation to pop popcorn, how is that NOT trying to scare people about cell phone radiation?

What crap.

[savanah626]

sneaky liars buy from them

[savanah626]

why buy from a sneaky tricky liar

[exptqumk]

That's retarded; there isn't a headset to be seen in that video. If they weren't intending to go for the "ZOMG CEL PHOENZ MICROWAV UR BRANES" angle, how the hell WERE they intending that would-be consumers would take any message at all regarding bluetooth headsets away from that video?

[iLuv2sing365]

omg this is what it thought i wuz like .. they take a kernel away, drop a peice of popcorn and keep doing it

[jaggy911]

man I was so excited to see that dyamn! all a sham!!!!

I will never trust the internet anymore!!! Internet and TV and are liars! and now my cellphone is starting to lie to with dumbass ads saying I won shyt

[slayerje]

now I feel stupid that I believed that

LOL :)

[stupidjunk978]

It was such an obvious hoax

[teohky]

good luck to their headset products...after all this.... As the old saying..." fool me once shame on you... fool me twice shame on me " ...

[stumanji]

Hey... yeah, microwaving your brain is hilarious. This is all irrelevant, PHONES FUCK YOUR SHIT UP. MICROWAVES AREN'T GOOD FOR YOUR BRAIN

[boarderchild00]

dude, how can you guys be pissed off? haha. you thought it was real??

i would laugh at those people too

[finalzenith]

is he fucking retarded? hey cell phones pop popcorn with radiation, lets put headsets NEXT TO OUR FUCKING BRAINS!

[maxwelltripp]

lol such a good point hahaha

[MrRalinz]

@finalzenith lol ahhahhahah lamfo

[yokin128]

@finalzenith That was the point.People think it can pop popcorn so they won't want to put it close to their head.So they go out and but his blutooth headset.

[CandyRoxXx]

"some people were scared to hold cell phone near there ears" and how does the guy respond... he laughs. i dont se how he can find that funny

[rondeponde]

cocksuckers! :D

[chrisvet1]

Hoaxers = assholes.

[heymarlarae]

they are NOW...

advertizing the new bluetooth....

ha ha ha ha ...

[tyleremt1]

I can't believe this idiot actually thinks he is smart enough to have come up with it. Must have been a slow news day. Any company I have ever seen has claimed responsibility right away and pasted their logo all over the place.

[Clavittarius]

Typical corporate monkey lines about "something exceeding our expectations. Huh, huh ,huh..."

It's just someone stealing a joke from the Internet yet again. Nothing original; quite pathetic on the contrary.

Can't believe he's trying to claim that vid. How sad.

[gabe0083]

stop hating, like you even know if he did it first or not

[Clavittarius]

What I 'hate' here is the fact that he's treating society like a Petri dish: 'Let's do this and see how the puppets react.' Anyone's free to criticize this if they enjoy this treatment.

The hunch that it's stealing comes from the fact that the vid doesn't make any clear reference to the product, with the exception of some vague connections as explained by Paladinsmom's comment. Ah, but on the other hand, this sudden revelation of the "mystery" makes clear connections, doesn't it?

[smartkid419]

its called social experiments. thats how psychologists and socialogists study and experiment, by understanding the interactions within our society, which is basically "treating society like a Petri dish." Why should he be criticized for that? your evidence of the video not having "clear reference to the product" doesnt justify that he didn't think of the video first. the ad. is a step ad, having the major ad. after the initial shock. like cloverfield advertised its movie. think about it

[KrykoStorm]

how do the videos advertise bluetooth? wtf?

[Paladinsmom]

Of course, this particular video isn't "advertising" Bluetooth technology, but the ORIGINAL video claiming that the phones' microwaves were popping popcorn would certainly make one think about not having a phone so close to one's head, hence the thought that maybe people should use a Bluetooth headset to avoid having a cellphone so close to their head.

By the way.....all of the "dinosaur" 3 watt "brick" phones were analogue and not even functional today, so the point about that is moot.

[gmlkbl08]

f##k corporate advertiseing !!!

[imkayeff]

hahahahha this is so stupid, its faking that its a hoax haha my physics teacher told us about this in science today its the mini micro-waves sent out from the phones it usually works with the old nokia brick phones, but then create enough wave/heat energy stuff to pop the popcorn its reallllly not fake. you need like 4 phones to create enough. why would it even advertise bluetooth? its not scary/dangerous either. haha. these people make me laugh :)

[Paladinsmom]

This guy said that the video wasn't meant to scare people......and that "they" laughed. Well, pardon me, but how would HE know how everyone who saw the video reacted??? Give me a break! He knew precisely what this video would do and hoped to profit through fear. I suppose he now is going to claim he's a mind reader. What a crock.

[glubglub2000]

well i think if junk 2 show was right abou the brain thing i would be dead by now since i have talked on them for more than 17 friggen minutes ive spent at least a hour on mine before DEDADE

[jamfever08]

That is shit! why do people get scared? its not like our head it going to turn into popcorn or anything.Popcorn is more delicate than our fricken heads! and it gets cooked mich more quicker than ours does...i think..

[hardluckart]

"this wasn't about scaring people..."

bullshit. that's exactly what they're trying to do...scare people into thinking they're going to get brain-damage unless they buy head-sets. this is such douche-baggery.

[kurusaki14]

so i thnk they brain will be cooked

huh!!!lol

[arjunus]

Is this still going on ?

Look at my favorites whats really the point with pulsed microwaves.

[workingthedream08]

Now this was good! Too effin funny! Some of the others need to lighten up and get a life!

[junk2show]

***** DO NOT USE Bluetooth Head Set ******

Bluetooth is using the same frequency (2.4 GHz) as microwave oven. One second of 500Watts microwave can boil 1 CC of water from 0 degree to 100 degree ( 500watts * 1 sec = 500 Joules. 500 Joules/ 4.2 joules/degree of water = 119 degree of water.)

The 0.5 watt bluetooth head set can cook 1 cc of your brain in 1000 second (~17 min).

[hotstuff7137]

Than just make sure you don't use it for 17 minutes at a time, and that's shweet it could boil the water in my body!

[NunyaBobbyAtayoel]

And how many years did you sit in front of an electron gun watching cartoons and not even thinking about being bombarded? What a load of crap. No one is gonna get cooked from any of these devices.

[knowitman]

I could probably cook your brain, IF the water in your brain was stationary and perfectly insulated.

[Groundnpound55]

ur an idiot

[teddyandbert]

This is the type of irresponsible advertising that can create panic with the masses !

Remember Orson Wells radio broadcast from 'War of the Worlds' ? - well, maybe not?? but it created panic!

Fast forward to today's media - these CARDON idiots need to be sued!

Remind us NEVER to buy CARDON SYSTEMS crappy products - teach the bastards a lesson!

[MihaSmrekar]

HAHAHAHAh and i watched just a minute ago how someone was disassembling a microwave!!!!

ROMFL some people really are stupid as hell

[matteobn]

what an idiot!!! just say buy my fucking bluetooth, so I can be in red panties, jerking off in my living room, thinking more of these twisted bullshit, to make all of you believe!!.

[MacWullie]

how did this video promote bluetooth? there was no mention of the product, and no one used a bluetooth device in the video??

[Xunnamius]

You ever see Resident Evil Apo? Don't believe everything you hear, especially when you don't know the full story.

Some guy telling you something's fake just to get the public at ease. Of course they spoon feed you this "HOAX" bullshit and you eat it all up.

I bet it ain't a hoax :P

[OpenBoxDesigns]

Of course it is... we just spent 45 minutes trying to replicate it. Can't be done for a number of reasons.

[MihaSmrekar]

you're then just one of many others fooled and then not believing to the real truth. this video clearly shows how it was made, even the program that was used to digitally make the vid

[badjazz27]

if you think about it, of course its fake. Imagine the amount of energy it takes to pop a piece of popcorn, then picture somone goofin around holding two cell phones up to their head. With that amount of energy passing into their head, it cause some definite damage. Cell phone makers would not allow that.

[larmor66]

"The truth is that is was funny?" He must have a different sense of humour than I have. Most people I talked to were really spooked about using their cell phones after seeing that video. Pretty risky marketing when you're on a fine line between positively or negatively portraying your product.

[frenk1973]

For me it was soooo funny --- I was really laughing, man. But then I don't have a cell phone.

[organicjerk]

The product is the bluetooth headset. The necessary evil as portrayed in the campaign is the cell phone. Questionable whether it was effective where they wanted it to be, but the aim was to demonstrate that "the radiation from cell's are so bad that you need a bluetooth headset like ours, See?"
