USB Popcorn Maker Almost Certainly a Scam
Written by admin on July 11th, 2008 in gadgets.
Were certain that this is a fake, but it’s also a lot of fun. The USB popcorn maker uses the power from your computer’s USB port to power an LED, which we are tricked into believing will pop kernels right there on your desk. Sadly, we doubt it would ever work. As Gadget Lab’s Dylan Tweney says, “I don’t believe it. There is no way a 5 watt USB cord is going to provide enough power to pop corn.”
What is it with popcorn? The whole viral marketing deal we covered last month had cellphones a-poppin’ the corn, and now a low powered lamp. What next? Popping corn with the Sun? Wait, What?
