Refuting the Hoax
According to the urban legend website Snopes.com, the claim that a group of cell phones rung simultaneously can cook food has been around since at least the year 2000. The original version of the legend claimed that eggs could be cooked via this method, but the myth has recently evolved to claim that this can be done with popcorn.Physicists Pop the Myth
Physicists consistently deny that this is possible; they say if food could be cooked using cell phones, then we would be burning or cooking ourselves severely each time we made a call. In the popcorn videos, physicist Louis Bloomfield of the University of Virginia surmises that video editing or a clandestine heating element beneath the coffee table is creating the phenomena. Wired.com blogger Jenna Wortham suggests the simultaneous appearance of the videos might be part of a secret viral marketing campaign designed to peddle cell phones.
