What's the real reason IKEA sells meatballs? Let's find out. Entering the store, I got lost immediately. Where am I? Are you seriously? How do I get out of here? This place is a maze. But there is a secret reason behind that. And I fell victim to it. Nice. I'm feeling the fado. Are you feeling it? I'm just trying to get some meatballs. They force you into their maze to show you as many products as possible. Apparently they even use cell phone reception blockers to cut contact with the outside world. The meatballs, baby. I finally make it to the cafeteria and order my Swedish meatballs. No gravy. Where is it? At their food court. Is a part of the reason IKEA. A 50 billion dollar retail bohemia. It is the same trick the casinos use to keep gamblers playing. Customers who eat in the store stay longer and spend more money.
