To make it believable, Jim secretly pops a single kernel of popcorn inside a brand-new, unopened bag and drops it onto Dwight's desk, tricking him into thinking the radiation managed to cook it from across the room. Dwight, completely panicking over the invisible electromagnetic threat, falls for the trick hook, line, and sinker.
