    IKEA doesn’t sell skittles. Not Swedish enough. It would be a Pepparkakshus with Geléhallon on it called “Värmis”.

      They would call it “Værmis” to sound more Scandinavian even though swedish uses ä and ö

        IKEA would never do that. We would NEVER use Danish letters

        Cheap IKEA rugs are actually named after Danish places.

          Cheap IKEA rugs are actually named after Danish places.

          They are? Examples, please! I wanna know if it’s any of the places here that deserve it! 😁

            Well, upon researching it I seems to have been half incorrect. It seems most IKEA rugs are named after Danish places. So I was incorrect in saying it’s the cheap ones. Looking at the website, however, there are a few without danish place names. But yes, the historical theme is that we are meant to walk on the danish.

          Maybe it’s a Germany thing because we have Ä and Ö too, but IKEA in Germany has products like “Bjørn”
