I Key Uh

So I shopped in IKEA for the first time in my life yesterday and HOLY CRAP WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME HOW WELL DESIGNED THE SECOND FLOOR IS AND HOW GOOD THE MEATBALLS ARE AND THAT THERE ARE EVEN MEATBALLS AND OTHER FOOD ITEMS IN A FURNITURE STORE AND HOW WONDERFUL SWEDISH CULTURE IS AND AAAHHHH.

(I love IKEA. I want to eat their meatballs before leaving Portland because it’s located right next to the airport).

Figured out IKEA's bait and buy formula

They bait you with good food; Swedish meatballs and cakes.

After you're stuffed and in a good mood, they make you go through a long and winding road where you feel like you're in a furniture/home products zoo. Then they hook you and reel you in by placing odd looking things like a garlic press at eye level on the shelves.

And then you buy it thinking it will be put to good use. Perhaps...not.

I bought a grater and a rack today.

But I ain't even mad because the food's good and I don't mind doing this at all.
