How to cook popcorn using mobile phones?

I seen on You Tube that you can pop popcorn using 3 to 4 mobile phones. I have tried it and it never popped. Any suggestions on how you do it? Are you supposed to use certain phones?

1. Um.....wouldn't it be easier to use a microwave? whoever made that discovery, has way too much time on their hands.
2. Doesn't work. Don't bother trying it. And don't believe everything you see on YouTube. True, mobile phones do emit small amounts of radiation, but even if you multiplied this by a factor of several thousand, you would have nowhere near enough energy to pop the corn.
3. I just saw a similar video clip on Reddit.com how uncomfortable is that to know your cell phone might be that powerful. Have I tried it no Im not gonna, but gather a few phones and try a few kernnels I guess try differnt phones too.
4. I would just keep trying different phone and as many people as you can get to keep working on it and get back to us. Let us know how far you get...
5. it doesn't work, dont believe everything you see
6. Well, I don't know about popcorn. But an egg will get cooked placing it in between two cellphones. With one calling the other. It's caused by electromagnetic waves or was that radiation. Not really sure. But it's proven. Never bothered trying it though.
7. I just watched the video of the Japanese students using 4 cell phones to pop some kernels of popcorn... Snopes.com says it's a hoax... I tend to agree with them also. My questions is.. How are they hoaxing it? Do they have the guts of a microwave oven underneath the table??
8. It's fake (the video is). There's a heating element under the table. Although the radiation from cell phones definitely exists, it's not nearly high enough to do make corn pop. :) However, scientists do say not to sleep with one by your head at night... it will cause long term side effects.
