omfg ikea sells food products
Perhaps other people were aware of this, but I was really shocked to discover that IKEA, in addition to selling fashionable, workable, low-cost McFurniture, also has a wing that specializes in...Swedish food products, which would be fine, if it wasn't so incongruous. The hot dog advertisement is literally a massive, epic billboard sized banner that is plastered HUGE against one side of the warehouse. And the cooler that holds all the Swedish meatballs, is, oddly enough, positioned right next to the cash registers/checkout lines, like tabloids or mints in supermarkets.
While awesome, I'm not really sure about the rationale behind this. Did some IKEA exec imagine some hardy customer standing in line to purchase their new futon and going, "You know what I could really use right now? I whole package of swedish meatballs."

Lol, I've actually never had the pleasure of their meatballs, but I actually had a cinnamon bun from IKEA yesterday with some "Glastonberry"-brand IKEA fruit drink. It was actually suprisingly tasty.
Though thanks for the recommendation. We should take a road trip at some point, get the meatballs, and then debauch ourselves on them. That would rock.
Oh man, that would be so gross. But so strangely delicious at 3:00 AM on a Sunday morning.
You know, we should totally do that at some point this summer. Road trip to IKEA to get Swedish meatballs, then to Stop n' Shop to get a case of ramen and Pom-brand Pomegranate juice, and then to your house to debauch & watch Mr. Show.
