Trial Separation of the Day: An IKEA store in Sydney recently introduced Mänland, a grown up version of home furnishing retailer’s familiar Småland Play Area for children designed to keep “whinging” husbands and boyfriends entertained while their wives and girlfriend go shopping.
The “play space” comes complete with Xbox consoles, flatscreen TVs, arcade machines, a foosball table, and free hot dogs. You know — man stuff.
Unlike its kid counterpart, Mänland is not supervised, but women are required to return and collect their significant others within 30 minutes. Not to worry — a complimentary buzzer offers a friendly reminder to those who might forget.
