X-Grip Sterilizes Foul Shopping Cart Handles

The X-Grip Wiper protects shopping carts from the evil 'Public John'

The X-Grip Wiper is a sanitizer that zaps the germs which inhabit the filthy handles of shopping carts. It also has the potential to become a weird infinite regress, a matryoshka of paranoia. But first, how does Kim Kwang-won?s concept work?

The X-Grip sits on the handle in place of the regular coin box and chain (and integrates these along with as its own magic). When you get your cart, you simply grab the box and slide it across the cart?s handlebar. Germicides inside the handle are wiped across its disgusting surface leaving the whole thing safe and gunk-free.

But wait. What about the unit itself, which has to be touched by every user? The handle may be sparkling clean and safe, but the box will itself become a haven for the very microbes you?re trying to kill. The solution is to put another cleaner on top, but then that too will need to be cleaned. You see the problem?

According to numbers quoted by Kim, the handle is indeed a wretched hive of scum and villainy, coming in above your mouse, a bus handle and the handle on a toilet. In fact, I need to quote a line from Kim?s presentation, as it has a wonderful turn of English. ?According to the analyze, it tells us that a handle of a shopping cart has bacteria 4 times more than a handle of public John.?

Public John! Who is this fellow, and why is he contaminating our shopping carts?
