Fun Facts About IKEA That You Need To Know!

Ask anyone to come up with a brand for furniture and they'll most likely get the same image in their heads - blue background with big, bold yellow letters spelling IKEA. Established in 1943, the swedish company has become the one-stop-shop to build our dream homes. From the living room, to the bedroom, to the kitchen, you'll be spoilt with affordable choices and inspiration to make your home truly unique. Here are 10 fun facts about our favorite furniture store that you probably didn't know!1. IKEA is not a Swedish WordIf you thought it was, I don't blame you at all. IKEA is just a combination of initials of the founder's name Ingvar Kamprad (IK), the family farm where he was born - Elmtaryd (E), and the village he grew up in - Agunnaryd (A).
  2. IKEA did not start with furniture.Ingvar Kamprad started IKEA with some financial help from his father. It begun as a mail-order sales business selling everything from photo frames to ballpoint pens. Only after 5 years, in 1948, did he add furniture to his portfolio.
  3. What do the names even mean?Many times, the incomprehensible names of IKEA products are just used as jokes, but there are actually meanings behind them. Since Ingvar Kamprad was dyslexic, he found a way to keep track of his products instead of having to remember item codes - using Nordic words and names. Below is how it works:
  4. It used to be impossible to fit a bed frame in your car.For as long as we can remember, IKEA is famed for Flat Pack furniture. That means you can fit multiple pieces of furniture in a normal car and only assemble it at home. This wasn't the case before 1956, until IKEA designer Gillis Lundgren realized he couldn't fit an assembled table into his car without cutting the legs off. This inspired him to push for the first flat packed table.
  5. There are more IKEA catalogues printed each year than The Holy Bible.An estimated 100 million bibles are printed every year, but in 2017 alone, 203 million copies of the IKEA catalogue was printed worldwide. They comein 27 languages for different regions. However, with advancements in Internet technology, after 70 years, it's now time to say goodbye to the iconic print. The picture below shows a catalog from 1951.
  6. Catalogue pictures were real...then they were not.Early versions of the product catalogue included photos and drawings of the product itself. However, to inspire consumers and help them visualize the product in natural space, IKEA spends days designing and moving multiple pieces of furniture and accessories into a room for a "live" photoshoot. The effort was eventually too time and energy consuming that IKEA decided to opt for the computer graphics (CG) method to present different scenes starting from 2006.
  7. IKEA was LGBTQ friendly since the 90s.In 1994, IKEA posted the first ever commercial with a gay couple in the spotlight. At that time, homosexuality is still widely frowned upon and the commercial instantly made headlines. IKEA even received bomb threats and were forced to take down the commercial.8. The Bulla Bulla method.IKEA uses a technique whereby small pieces of items are jumbled into big bins. This is known as the "Bulla Bulla" method and gives the illusion that the items are cheap because of the huge volume. As you walk through the areas designed with the method, you'll be tempted to get things you "never thought you needed".
  9. The whole thing's a maze.Everyone gets a little lost the first time they enter an IKEA store and it's designed to be that way. It's a marketing strategy that keeps you in their stores for a longer time. Plus, you'll feel pressured to make decisions right away under the fear of not being able to go back and get something you liked.
  10. Where are the words?If you've ever assembled IKEA furniture, you'll have notice the lack of written instructions in their instruction manual. The instructions usually come in the form of pictures showing you which ends go into which places and are usually enough for the average consumer to piece everything together. The main reason for this is to reduce the need to translate everything into multiple languages (which will lead to a very very thick manual!)
  So, how many of these facts did you know? The next time you go shopping at IKEA with your friends and family, don't forget to show off these cool pieces of knowledge!

J. Lo Revives This Iconic 90s Pam Anderson Updo

ICYMI: J. Lo & Ben Affleck Are Married Again! Inside Look Into Their Lavish Wedding CelebrationsJennifer Lopez has worn some pretty iconic hairstyles throughout her time in the limelight. Circa 1997, it was the bouffant curls, '99 saw her with a blunt straight cut and then came the whirlwind that was the 00s. But just before the bandana buzz had its moment, Pamela Anderson (celeb switch-up) rocked an updo that is, now, seen as an iconic part of the era. Fast forward to today, Jen is making those two worlds collide with her 2022 take on the look.The actor-meets-singer-meets dancer (aka an all-around multi-hyphenate and business mogul) took to Instagram to debut said hairstyle. Although she wore the look for a campaign shoot with fashion brand Coach, it's the beauty glam that we're more so pre-occupied with.To create the undone yet sophisticated curly updo, Jen's go-to hairstylist Chris Appleton, teamed up with fellow pros Danielle Priano and Nero. It was a collaborative effort, if you will.It's giving effortless 'I just got out of bed' vibes but in my reality, it would take three hours and many hot coffees later to even get close to this sorta look. Alas, I'm willing to give it a go...Oh and granting my very wish is Chris himself, who took to Instagram earlier this year to provide us with the long-awaited updo tutorial. As he says in the below video, "it's actually really easy to do".

Tap to Wake Function not WorkingMany users complained that after a while, the tap to wake function on the iPhone 13s just stopped working.
  Resolved: NoHowever, users recommended that other users who are also facing the phone just use the power button to wake their iPhone instead. Users were also suggested to restart their phones but that isn’t guaranteed to work for everyone. 2. Unable to Unlock Phone using Apple WatchWhile Apple boasted about all the new updates to the Apple Watch, the one issue that was definitely not talked about during the conference was that the Unlock iPhone feature on the Apple Watch wouldn’t really work for a while. Resolved: Yes, Apple has fixed this issue. 3.

Uni Student Demands Credit Despite Zero Contribution To Group Project

In a recent incident that has sparked heated discussions among Malaysian netizens, a university student found himself in hot water after neglecting a group assignment due to his involvement in extracurricular activities. The repercussions? His teammates decided not to include his name on the final project, leaving him without credit.According to WhatsApp conversation screenshots circulating on social media, the student who failed to contribute to the group project reached out to one of his teammates, requesting that his name be added to the assignment. Boldly, he claimed to be part of the group despite his lack of involvement.
However, his request was met with resistance from his teammate who pointed out his complete absence from the project. Despite the clear evidence against him, the student showed no remorse, explaining that his focus was on other commitments, particularly his involvement in a club. He exclaimed, "I already told you I'm busy with club activities, why don't you understand? Can't you be more understanding? Is that being selfish?"In response to being accused of lacking empathy, the student defended himself by stating that he had already accommodated the individual by assigning him the simplest part of the project. However, the student failed to complete even that. Blaming the group leader for not taking charge, he justified his inability to fulfil his responsibilities.Despite the excuses, the teammate repeatedly emphasized that no one objected to the student's other activities and even encouraged his participation. However, the problem remained that his absence was conspicuous in the final project. "The issue now is that there is no trace of your contribution in the entire project. Why should your name be included?"In the end, the anonymous teammate, in the shared post, suggested that if the student had approached the situation with politeness and humility, there might have been room for compromise and adding his name to the assignment. However, the student's refusal to acknowledge his wrongdoing and instead blame others was deemed excessive.

This incident has ignited a passionate debate among Malaysian netizens, with many expressing the belief that individuals like this student should face such consequences. Some netizens even offered advice, suggesting that when he enters the workforce, he should learn to be more responsible and, at the very least, treat his teammates to a meal as an apology.The discussions surrounding this incident highlight the importance of accountability and teamwork in academic and professional settings.

A businessman recently made a controversial post on TikTok where he claimed to have discovered a "secret" food court exclusively for the B40 class.However, his delivery and classification of the food court based on people's income drew criticism from netizens.
The businessman argued that the food court was meant for those on a tight budget as the food was reasonably priced.He claimed that only people in the B40 income bracket ate there, which many people found unnecessary and offensive.Netizens were quick to point out that the food court was not a secret and had been around for years.

The Great War of Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour Tickets Unleashes Chaos in Singapore

Singapore was set ablaze with excitement as Taylor Swift announced her highly anticipated Eras Tour, promising an unforgettable experience for fans in March 2024. However, what was meant to be a joyous occasion turned into a battleground, with fans engaging in a fierce ticketing war. Dubbed "The Great War" by South-east Asian fans, this battle for access to Taylor Swift's concert tickets became a defining event, bringing out the worst in some individuals.
  The rules were clear: only fans with valid access codes would be allowed to join the queue, and tickets would be sold on a first-come, first-served basis exclusively to access code holders. This seemingly fair system aimed to reward dedicated fans while ensuring a smooth ticketing process. However, it ignited a frenzy as millions of Swifties armed themselves with workstations and multiple devices, adopting a "take-no-prisoners" mindset.SEA Swifties rn #SingaporeTSTheErasTour : pic.twitter.com/56fZUVfIYY— KAI | Eras Tour Era  (@mordekaiiiiii) July 7, 2023 As desperation set in, some individuals resorted to unscrupulous tactics. Reports emerged of people using other people's access codes, attempting to bypass the system and secure coveted tickets. This practice sparked outrage among those who followed the rules diligently, feeling cheated by those exploiting loopholes. The code-sharing phenomenon blurred the lines of fairness, creating an atmosphere of mistrust and animosity within the fandom.WHAT THE FUCK EH I GOT KICKED OUT COZ SOMEONE USED MY CODE??? #SingaporeTSTheErasTour pic.twitter.com/UL6BiPFp4e— jan (@onlyjinius) July 7, 2023 While fans battled for tickets, not everyone emerged victorious. Some unfortunate individuals found themselves unable to complete the transaction due to technical glitches. The crushing disappointment of being so close yet so far intensified the frustrations and added to the turmoil surrounding the ticketing process. Social media platforms became inundated with heartbroken fans sharing their stories, hoping for a stroke of luck.WHY U DONT LET ME PAY!!! #SingaporeTSTheErasTour pic.twitter.com/CWx3WhcKTD— tinkerbell (@pixietix_) July 7, 2023 Perhaps the most heart-wrenching aftermath of the ticketing war was the sight of fans who didn't possess access codes resorting to begging on the internet. Desperation drove them to plead with others for their coveted access codes, laying bare their vulnerability and passion for experiencing the magic of a Taylor Swift concert. The online landscape became a digital marketplace for codes, with emotional appeals tugging at the heartstrings of those in possession of the sought-after keys to enter Taylor's world.Anyone who has the code but has high queue no want me to queue for them? I can help you buy as long as it is not sold out yet. Can dm me for more inquiries. Not a scammer #SingaporeTSTheErasTour pic.twitter.com/8P6aFDORse— ttalgitamong. (@ttalgitamong) July 7, 2023 What should have been a moment of joy and celebration for Taylor Swift fans in Singapore turned into a tumultuous battleground, marked by fierce competition, code-sharing controversies, and desperate pleas for access. The ticketing war surrounding the Eras Tour left a bitter taste in the mouths of many Swifties, underscoring the lengths people are willing to go to secure their place at a highly coveted event.While the passion and enthusiasm exhibited by fans are testaments to Taylor Swift's immense popularity, it is essential to remember the values of fairness, respect, and empathy. Events like these should bring fans together, creating a sense of unity and shared excitement. Let us hope that future ticketing experiences will prioritize fairness, transparency, and the preservation of the joy that music and live performances bring to fans worldwide.


M'sian Man Was Horrified When The Chicken Feet Soup He Bought At Ramadhan Bazaar Still Had Claws

At a Ramadhan bazaar yesterday, a man claimed to have purchased chicken feet soup without the nails clipped, which results in the soup looking much like horrendous dinosaur-looking claws.A user by the name of Fakhrurazi Mohammad on Facebook attracted a lot of attention with his post when he uploaded the unfortunate chicken feet soup incident."I was craving chicken feet soup and went to Ramadhan bazaar to get some When I got home, I was shocked to see that what I got looked more like a ghost's feet than a chicken feet," he wrote in his Facebook post.The attitude of shopkeepers who take for granted the cleanliness of food preparation and doubt the benefits of their customers' nutrition throughout the month of Ramadan is therefore considered to be disappointing by many customers.Have you had similar experience?

Malaysian Unimpressed With The Price Hike Of GVF 2023 Tickets

Without a doubt, the most anticipated music festival of the year has returned, but one thing we aren't looking forward to is paying the hefty ticket price, which seems to be increasing year after year.Twitter user @connerylazenby shared a comparison explanation of how high the prices have increased since the first Good Vibes Festival in 2013.

This year's festival will be considerably different from previous years, as it is now a 3D2N event with Phase 1 General Admission tickets selling for RM788.These tickets wouldn't be restricted in quantity for each phase, so there's no chance they'd sell out as quickly as you may anticipate.

Hawker Tracked Down Customer Who Accidentally Pressed 2 Extra Zeroes And Paid RM1460 For Panmee

One of the downsides of e-payment is definitely paying extras without knowing.A man in Singapore accidentally inserted 2 extra zeroes when paying a Panmee seller. He ended up paying $450 (approx. RM1460) for a $4.50 (approx. RM14) noodle.
The seller found out when they were doing their sales closing and quickly shared it on Facebook to look for the customer.
A few days later, the hawker found the customer and returned the $445.50 change to him.
The moral of the story is, double check when you are paying and after you are done paying. And if you realised someone paid you extra, be honest and return the extra to them.Source: @xiaomeibanmian
