Do you ever listen to Christmas music? Even when walking at the mall we hear the Rudolph the red nose reindeer song playing somewhere as you shop around, and why does he have a red nose? The invention of the character in 1939 was a marketing campaign for a department store in Chicago. But what inspired the author? Studies now reveal that actually there are reindeer with red noses. Some reindeer have more densely packed blood vessels near the surface of the skin of the nose than others. The vessels serve to regulate body temperature in the freezing artic environment, and that’s why its red. Another study suggest that Rudolph actually had parasites on his mucosal passages…. I think he probably had a pimple…. What’s your theory?
