UV Disinfector makes sure your fork stays germ-free

zadro.jpgDon't you know that germs and bacteria are everywhere? The invisible beasties are just itching to get inside your body to start wreaking havoc. And you just know that the dishwashers at the restaurant you're going to tonight just don't care as much as your personal wellbeing as you do. So what can you do to stay healthy?

Just carry around a Zadro Nano UV Disinfection Scanner. Simply aim its beam at your cutlery for 10 seconds and it'll take out 99.99% of germs camping out there. Sure, you can't beam it on the hands of the people handling your food, but then again, if you were that worried about it you'd never leave the house. This is a pretty decent compromise, I'd say.

And then the people are wondering about having more and more allergies ... don't sterilise! eate dirt! makes you more healthy.

Ya, eat dirt. Hell eat something with e coli, that will make you really healthy. And rig your microwave to work with the door off cause you might get freaking super powers. (please, do not actually do this)

The big question.... Does it work on genitals?

Maybe this UV disinfecting technology explains all the black lights in strip clubs! And here I was thinking they just hid bruises and looked cool.

Aren't most of the germs in the food? Does this thing clean a salad? Or a plate? I was shocking to be eating at a Ruby Tuesdays and watch a waitress clean another table with a used cloth napkin that had been left by the previous eaters. Made me feel really good about going back there!!
