I've actually never found a name of an IKEA product to be fake. They can be obscure, odd, and some would normally be split. But never truly fake. Though, FEJKA does mean "to fake". Which is an honest name for a series of fake plants.
Yeah, don't know what that "fake" is all about. It's a Swedish company that gives Swedish names to their product lines and actually seems to care about maintaining their reputation for good design instead of enshitification so they can gouge their loyal customers until they realize they shouldn't be loyal anymore.
Though I do wonder why I don't mind IKEA's Swedish product names but find Starbucks' use of Italian words for cup sizes to be insufferable...
I've never been to a Starbucks. But from the content I see about them online, they do seem like a typical American fakery outlet.
Venti, that's twenty in Italian, is a cup of twenty American stupidity units of coffee. And their new CEO has a commute in excess of 1600km!
Even if I enjoyed coffee, I would find somewhere else to spend my money.
