Just to address your first point - You can't visit a major American city with out finding an IKEA or even two. The world globalized, it didn't americanize.

Step into any IKEA in America, and there's no hint it's a European company. Step into a McDonald's in Germany, and it's like you stepped into America.

Besides, McDonald's are everywhere in Germany. I even ate at one at Checkpoint Charlie. An obvious triumph over communism :-)

I'm sure there is an IKEA around here somewhere, but I don't know where. I know where all the McD's within 10 miles are!

Shouldn't the BLAHAJ and GODIS SKUM signs in Ikea be a hint? The cafe likes to sell its Swedishness too.
