   My boyfriend is an electrical engineer and claims this is fake. A micowave uses 600 watts to heat up food, but a cell phone only uses about 1 watt maximum. With four cell phones, thats ony 4 watts, compared to 600 watts. If popcorn could pop so easily, you could probably pop popcorn with any electrical device.

   Trista,

   All three of these from different countries are fake?

   I doubt that.

   Teresa - How is having a Bluetooth device always on your ear a better idea? Note: I ask ignorantly regarding the different waves in effect for either.

   A few people in the office that I work in were discussing this. And yea, I’d say it’s pretty fake. If you do a bit of research, you’ll discover that it’s impossible. You can also search the watts of cell phones and of microwaves.

   People are studying whether or not cell phones are a definite cause for brain cancer, but I don’t think anything is 100% sure.

Got something to say?
