After a young woman asked for DNA testing on a cake and a carrot to determine whether Santa is real, the Rhode Island Department of Health said it couldn’t confirm or deny the existence of Santa in her home.
We all concur that something extraordinary is taking place, the ministry stated on Twitter.
She referred to the 1947 New York City case “to a case around 34th Street in New York City,” from the movie “Miracle on 34th Street,” and stated she couldn’t identify any exact matches for anyone in the shared DNA profile. To make a certain match, the department claimed it needed additional DNA samples “from other known contacts with Santa.”
The “good news,” according to the ministry, is that reindeer-like DNA was discovered when the chewed carrots were tested in a lab.
According to Cumberland police chief Matthew Benson, the girl asked for a DNA test by sending cake and carrots to the town’s police department. Benson forwarded the “evidence” to the forensic division of the state health department for examination.
