Conclusive proof that mobile phones do fry the brains ...
... or is this a viral video to promote popcorn eating?
In case you're wondering why I posted this, it's because this video has been copied around the world. There are videos on YouTube that show similar experiences in Asia and America.
The original French video has been watched by over 3 million people in 10 days.
It's making headline news in the media too and shows that you really must be more aware of using the mobile and, ideally, wear a wireless headset.
The trouble is that if you try to pop popcorn using your mobile at home with your mates, then nothing happens.
Maybe that's because this is just a spoof video made by a wireless headset manufacturer called CardoSystems.
There's a marketing lesson in there.
