The family test you don’t want to have to take
Posted on March 27th, 2008 by Hot Momma
Rite Aid has rolled out an over the counter DNA paternity test. For just $29.99 plus a $119 lab fee, you to can figure out if that kid is really yours or not. There’s also probably a few kids out their that might want to find out if those freaks that call themselves mom and dad are for real too.
All it requires is a cheek swab from the mother, the potential dad, and the kid. Mail the kit in and 3-5 days later your family could be torn to pieces.
Maury Povich is not going to be happy about this product!
Supposedly it’s not as easy as “Would you mind spitting in this cup for me?” to sneakily get a DNA sample unbeknownst to your unsuspecting mate. According to the manufacturer it’s not a saliva test, but a tissue test that requires 45 seconds of vigorous swabbing on the cheek, (wait till there asleep?). The company also requires the written consent of people tested.
Also the results are not admissible in court, so in order to nail that deadbeat dad or cheating ho, you’ll need to follow up with a traditional expensive DNA test.
Identigene, which runs a DNA testing laboratory, said its DNA Paternity Test Collection Kit went on sale at the 4,363 Rite Aid drug stores throughout the United States, except New York. I guess people don’t mess around in New York?
The paternity test kit is already a hit in California (of course), Washington and Oregon, where they have been selling on a trial basis since November, Identigene said.
“Demand has been very strong, store sales are brisk and Identigene has been inundated with questions regarding the product’s availability.”
This has to be one of the most embarrassing products I could imagine buying in a store. You know when you set it down on the counter all eyes are going to be on you and everyone your with. I suggest buying the test out of town if you plan on staying where you are for awhile.
