Well, you might want to sit down for this because IKEA’s latest announcement will definitely affect your life.
IKEA Malaysia’s official Facebook Page posted yesterday that they have replaced the vanilla flavoured soft serve ice cream with 100% plant based, dairy-free and gluten free soya ice cream instead.

Some others agree with us in having both choices, like this person:
And several others were with IKEAs environment friendly initiative, like this person:
