Looks fake.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
1)Put the popcorn in the microwave.
2)Once it starts to pop take the popcorn out of the microwave and put it in the middle of the table.
3)Put your cellphones in the proper place (make sure they vibrate when beign called)
4)The popcorn pops!

When a popcorn is heated it builds up gas in the inside.
A popcorn pops because the pressure of the gas is released.
The vibrations of the cellphones crack the shell of the popcorn thus releasing the gas!


A YouTube comment that actually makes sense.
 
Hmm, makes sense yes.
