The trans community picked up as its mascot since the colours of it, the blue shark with the pink mouth and white teeth, resemble the colours of the trans flag if I know correctly.
And they are also pretty cute.
Also Blahåjar were in pro-gay-marriage-ads by ikea
Because Ikea pushed it, because the trans community liked it. It's now a vicious circle, but for once a good one.
it's popular in the trans community
My country better have a blahaj its bs when the biggest ikea dosent have that cute fluffy shark
I'm afraid that's not possible.
Wasn't it discontinued?
Edit: nope, just low supply for a while in 2022
Well, but did you at least pick up a Billy or an Alex on your way through the store?
