Default Buying at IKEA by Jeffrey Dach

Well, no.

I'm sitting at my Ikea desk, lit by my Ikea desk lamp, on my Ikea chair
under my Ikea shelves.

The lamp was made in China, or as the label says "The People's Republic
of China" and the chair was made in Lithuania. No visible labels on the
rest of the stuff.

The store's an interesting place to stop for lunch; 15 Swedish meatballs
w/cream sauce, mashed potatoes and ligonberry preserves - $4.
