Update: Apparently it IS 'a bit too much.' It's a marketing ploy for bluetooth headsets (thanks, homehandymum!). By the way, some claim those are as bad or worse than regular cell phones. I'm all for the string-and-tin-cans at this point, anyway. :)
This is a bit too much.
Apparently cell phones can pop popcorn.

Sorry, but it's a marketing hoax to make you want to buy a bluetooth handsfree headset.

But it fully had me going there!
WHOA!! Where did you find that?? I think we're going to try it out this afternoon, that's crazy! May I borrow it for my blog?
I got it via email... Funny to me on one hand, and very, VERY scary on the other. Of course you can borrow it! You can even have it. :)
Mercola says these things are bad news... I'm ready to fill the house with plug-in land-line type phones, but that will make chatting while weeding the garden a little trickier. :)
Handymum; just found your comment. How funny! Guess we're gullible, huh? Though as I understand it (via the crazy alternative sites I visit), bluetooth and hands-free are just as bad, even worse. I still think I need to find some tin cans and some string...
Oh, man, I wanted to see if it worked! Perhaps we'll still try it. But, Hubby has a bluetooth and it has to be even more harmful, to pick up the signals across the house and all...
Oh I'm sure that if cell phones are bad then wireless headsets are just as bad! Just not bad in this way :)
I still don't like carrying my cell phone in my pocket near my vital organs...
Hehe, I'm with you. I end up leaving our (cordless) house phones in the garden on the fence... I used to hang them on my back pocket (use to monitor the baby monitor in the house), but don't want my reproductive organs to mutate or anything... Sheesh!
okay, coincidentally, this news item appeared in one of our newspapers today...
Titled "Close call with exploding phone"

I will never use a charging phone again, and will probably charge them in a little-used room from now on!
