Many are amazed with what lie detectors can reveal. Lie detectors are not only popular in criminal investigations but they have gone a long way in pop culture as well.

Lie detectors nowadays have become part of many television shows. An example is the Daytime talk show titled Maury Povich. It frequently uses lie detectors in order to tell if someone is lying or cheating on their significant other.

On Silver Screens, the movie Ocean’s 13 also had a lie detector as one of the props used in the scene where a character had to step on a tack when giving a truthful answer to beat a polygraph test.

The idea behind this device is also adopted in toys nowadays. Just like the Electrick Shock Lie Detector, a toy with a built in computer that can analyze responses. What made it more fun is the part when one is caught lying as it has sounds and lights to complete the effect when you get busted!
