Shopping at IKEA – it is sort of a battle, isn’t it? Well, Watt White sure thinks so, and his 2D puppet video characterizing a shopping day at IKEA as nothing less than the outbreak of WWIII (with Vikings, of course) is hysterical. Click through for more, including the answer to the question, how many takes did it take? Read More …

IKEA’s Random Acts of Life Improvement:
Surprise and delight the public with tokens of appreciation to improve everyday moments in their lives.

On May 24th 2012, at random but highly trafficked locations, IKEA gave away 35,000 of the iconic blue IKEA bags in another (the third for those keeping score at home) Random Act of Life Improvement as part of their larger Life Improvement campaign.

These bags are perfectly sized for shopping bags or for heading to the beach which is what we’re going to be doing just as soon as possible! Courtesy of our friends at IKEA, we received a box stocked full of summer goodies and we’re going to share the joy..

Find out how to win some fun IKEA Family beach gear (and snacks!) for your crew after the jump!

The Microwave Oven Infographic brought to you by IKEA’s The Kitchen
Click for full-size

1945 Dr. Percy Spencer, a self-taught engineer accidentally melts a chocolate bar in his pocket while testing a new vacuum tube called the magnetron.

Sounds to me like Dr. Spencer could have used a lead pocket protector, but whatever — bless him, because on that fateful day in 1945, little could he have known that the microwave oven was born. Yes, the microwave – that ubiquitous kitchen countertop small appliance that’s in over 92% of households surveyed and, according to a Yankelovich Monitor study, is considered indispensable by 75% of us (second only to the automobile!), was discovered by accident. Oops!

Did you know?
62%
of all microwave
ovens live on
the countertop

We like to think of it as serendipity, and if serendipity is defined as good luck, well then…it’s a great day! Hear this: this infographic is brought to you by IKEA’s The Kitchen exclusively for IKEAFANS.com (w00t!). Check them out for tons of great kitchen planning tips ideas, and watch for more from our new content partner from the UK – IKEAs The Kitchen!

Find out what our favorite thing to do with a microwave is (other than installing the microwave undercounter!) inside…
