9. Shopping Carts.


Much like restaurant menus, grocery carts fall prey to being touched by lots of hands and receiving little cleaning.

8. Ice.


Ordering a drink at your favorite restaurant or bar? You may want to ask for it without the ice. Due to dirty ice makers and unsanitary storage conditions, studies have shown that ice served in restaurants often have more bacteria than toilet water.

7. Restaurant Menu.



While glancing at the menu at your favorite restaurant, you may want to think about how many hands have touched that menu and how often it’s cleaned.

6. Keyboards.


Bet you sneezed at work today and kept typing without washing your hands, or maybe you share a keyboard with your entire family, including a teenager with God knows what under their fingernails. Well, that God knows what is now smeared all over your keyboard, spreading germs and bacteria with each and every keystroke. In fact, keyboards typically have 400 times more bacteria than your toilet seat.
In 2007, a stomach flu outbreak at a Washington, D.C. elementary school struck more than 100 people, and may have spread through unclean computer equipment like keyboards, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Wash hands, and surfaces often.

5. Kitchen/Bathing Sponge.



Kitchen/Bathing sponges are one of the most unsuspecting germ-filled things in your house. Due to the fact that they’re porous and moist, germs and bacteria live and breed on the very sponges that you use to clean counters, dishes and utensils. In fact, sponges typically have 10 million bacteria per square inch, making them the germiest thing in your house.
Each week, toss in hot water.

4. Kitchen Zinc.


While you may think your kitchen sink is clean due to all of the sanitizing that happens there, it’s quite possibly the most unsanitary place in your house. Most kitchen sinks are full of germs such as Salmonella and E. Coli, while the drain may carry 500,000 bacteria per square inch.
Disinfect and clean regularly.

3. Ladies' Bags.



Just like a cell phone, women take their purses/bags everywhere, keep lots of items in them and put them down in just as many places. We don’t think twice before tossing them carelessly under the table at a restaurant, on the bathroom floor, atop a sticky bar or under our seats at the movie theater. Besides your wallet, makeup and cell phone, there’s a pretty good chance you’re also carrying things like staphylococcus bacteria and fecal matter.
Keep your bags off the ground, make sure item in the bags are clea and regularly wash cloth bags when possible. For plastic or leather bags, use disinfectant wipes.

2. Phones/Tabs



The next time you’re about to put your cell phone to your ear, think about the last place you laid it or the last place you took it or what you touched before picking your phone. Yes, we know you’re answering Facebook messages or catching up on Candy Crush in the bathroom at work. Believe it or not, your cell phone may have 500 times more bacteria than your toilet. Now you may want to think twice before pressing that thing up against your cheek.
Reduce your exposure to germs by cleaning your electronic screens with screen wipes or a damp, soft cloth or leaving them out of the bathroom in the first place.

Germs, your mind probably goes straight to the toilet literally. It’s easy to assume that the toilet, and the bathroom in general, are the dirtiest places you visit frequently on a daily basis. However, that surprisingly just isn’t true. There are far filthier things that you’d never suspect, in fact, there are things you touch, carry and use every day that transport and transfer way more icky germs and bacteria than you could even imagine. We’ve found some every day items and locations that carry way more cooties than your toilet seat.



1. Cutting/Chopping Board.


University of Arizona researchers found that the average cutting board has 200 times more fecal bacteria than a toilet seat. A big culprit: raw meat, since many fecal bacteria originate in animals’ internal organs. So, the last chicken cutlet you diced? The tiny grooves your knife left in the cutting board are prime real estate for germs to get cozy.
Wash cutting boards with liquid dish detergent and water, then soak thoroughly in a solution of 2 teaspoons bleach and 1 gallon of water.

12. K2 Black Panther(South Korea, $8.5Million).

One of the most advanced main battle tank, in the mid-1990s, the South Korean government decided to begin developing a domestically designed and produced tank. The result was the Hyundai-built K2 Black Panther which was operational by 2013/14. At first glance, the K2 looks like a Western tank with a large rectangular chassis and turret closely resembling the Leopard 2 and Leclerc. It uses a license-built version of the Leopard 2’s 120mm smoothbore gun as well as a 1500hp German diesel engine. The autoloader is very similar in design and performance to the Leclerc’s and can allow the tank to fire around 10 rounds a minute. The gunner and commander have the newest day/night and thermalsights and in combination with the tank’s battlefield management and command and control systems, makes the K2 one of the most efficient and capable hunter-killer tanks around. Protection is provided by a classified composite armor and additional explosive reactive armor modules. For protection against enemy anti-tank missiles and rockets, the K2 is equipped with an active and passive protection system. The passive system warns of incoming threats and can start jamming and firing off decoys. The active protection system, similar to the Merkava’s ‘Trophy’ system, will attempt to destroy any missiles which are about to hit the tank by using a small explosive charge. Unfortunately, you won’t find any of these features in Hyundai’s latest line of cars and SUVs.

5. Drones: MQ-9 Reaper ($16.9Million).


The General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper (formerly named Predator B) is an unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) capable of remote controlled or autonomous flight operations, developed by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems(GA-ASI) primarily for theUnited States Air Force(USAF). The MQ-9 and other UAVs are referred to as Remotely Piloted Vehicles/Aircraft (RPV/RPA) by the USAF to indicate their human ground controllers. The MQ-9 is the first hunter-killerUAV designed for long-endurance, high-altitude surveillance.

The MQ-9 is a larger, heavier, and more capable aircraft than the earlier General Atomics MQ-1 Predator; it can be controlled by the same ground systems used to control MQ-1s. The Reaper has a 950-shaft-horsepower(712 kW)turboprop engine, far more powerful than the Predator's 115 hp (86 kW) piston engine. The power increase allows the Reaper to carry 15 times more ordnance payload and cruise at almost three times the speed of the MQ-1. The aircraft is monitored and controlled by aircrew in the Ground Control Station (GCS), including weapons employment.

3. Boeing CH-47D/F Chinook ($25.1 million).


This helicopter model is the star of several movies and is the most known heavy lifting helicopter on the market. For those who saw it in the movies is the twin engine, tandem rotor helicopter who is usually seen carrying large loads of military equipment. So the movie star of helicopters appears to have a Hummer hooked to it or a big machine gun. With a starting price of 25.1 million dollars the CH-47D/F Chinook is a large aircraft carrier who can transport up to 34 passengers or any type of big loads. The primary missions of the Chinook are the troop movement, battlefield resupply and artillery placement making its deliveries with a top speed of 335 kilometers per hour. The heaviest lifter of the Western lands supplies 16 nations and it has been built in over 1200 units. It has over 50 years of missions and frontline deployment, being the longest functional aircraft and heavy lifter.The US Army and the UK Royal Air Force are its main users, almost every American base on US soil or on non American lands has in its property one of this large helicopter. One of the most expensive helicopters in the world is equipped with a wide loading ramp at the rear of the fuselage and also you can find three cargo hooks on the outside. This helicopter makes it also on the big screen, most of its appearances being while troops go down from it on the safety lines from the hooks mounted on the outside of the helicopter or images with it carrying big artillery guns for troops who defend remote isolated areas.

2. Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk ($28 million).


The large military and police designated aircraft has an approximate base price of 28 million dollars and it can transport up to 11 passengers, competitors of a similar size topping the number of passengers with another 4. The Sikorsky company, designers and builder of the worlds most advanced helicopters, made the Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk from two earlier models, combining them to obtain an upgrade of the model who was supposed to match multiple types of missions. Adding to this description are other features like multi-mode radar, airborne sonar, airborne fleet data link and other sensors and devices mounted on the glass cockpit who was suited with some digital complex monitors. So when in combat if you are aboard the Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk you are in good hands because the modern nautical warfare upgraded the main necessities that a navy helicopter has to contain and you don’t have to fear for your life because it was equipped with all kinds of missiles and torpedoes. The brother of the world famous Black Hawk helicopters, the Seahawk is one of the most expensive helicopters in the world and is capable to feature in any navy based operations, making its price worthy. It can deploy aboard from any air-capable frigate, destroyer, cruiser, fast combat support ship, amphibious assault ship, or aircraft carrier.
