I hadn't been in an Ikea store since the big one in Newark, near the airport, first opened. I have now visited the location near Austin several times, and what struck me most was the ridiculous fake Swedish product names that some department must be tasked to create. So, as I'm walking around the store, I'm speaking in fake Swedish -with umlauts--reciting all the stupid product names. Then, I thought, wait a minute. What if Ikea named some other products that aren't currently in their line-- like a cat litter box-- it could be called a "Katpoopenspot."
Perhaps there is something out there in Internet-land on the subject already, but the whole thing struck me as funny. Real Swedish people- please do not be offended.
