017: Ikea Sparka Plus Football


What is it? Ikea's plush football, codename 'Sparka'.

Pros: Soft treat for kids. Blue and white are classic colour combination. Made in Indonesia, therefore stimulating the growing economy of an island nation. Pentagon/hexagon pattern maintains footballing credentials. Can be thrown really hard at person's face without too much retribution.

Cons: Cannot be used for regulation game of football. Tag is obscenely long and does not aid rolling motion needed for ball's purpose. 'Sparka' could denote 'fire' to young children; not good as it is intensely flammable. Draws light in photographs, making well-lit rooms look like caverns.

Worthiness of pointing motion: 9/10. "Dear Ikea. Can you please invest in stickers for goods? Your tags are f***ing ridiculous. Sincerely, the world."
