This may be the most Dutch thing I’ve ever heard. (I’m Dutch.)

No idea, I’ve seen it in several different places. I think it’s a stylised Christmas tree gone dildo…

It’s some piece of art and the resemblance is intentional. Search for “Buttplug Gnome” to find out more.

LOL I thought you are joking, but it is actually called buttplug gnome: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Claus_(sculpture)

Officially the work represents Santa Claus holding a Christmas tree in his hands but the artist has implied that it could also represent a buttplug, and that “…For me, the sculpture is also about the consumer community - as a commentary on material consumption in the Western world.”[3]

To be honest, I’m amazed that anyone even thought to send it off for testing. I’m an ex police officer and I wouldn’t have thought of that. I’d just lump it in with the other weird shit you always find in drug dens.

It was with a bunch of other drugs and the material looks a bit off. I’m sure you would’ve had a hunch.

Do you suddenly feel the need to go back and test everything?

I imagine they got squirrelly or something whenever the cops went near it.
