    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.

            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”
