<p>IKEA may be getting a little too creative with their marketing. The furniture retailer has launched a new ad campaign that prints a pregnancy test on a page of a magazine ad. Basically, women can pee on an advertisement of a baby crib to see if they are pregnant.</p>
<p>If positive, a hidden discount appears on the page, thus reducing the price of the crib for the newly expectant mother. The price on the company&#8217;s Sundvik crib is essentially cut in half.</p>
<p>The ad is first appearing in <em>Amelia</em> magazine, a Swedish publication for women. If successful, it&#8217;s possible that IKEA could partner with a U.S. magazine to try the same promotion, assuming the creation of the pages with test strips isn&#8217;t cost-prohibitive.</p>

<p>Of course, the pee-soaked magazine page will have to be presented to an IKEA employee to get the discount; hopefully the company provides sanitary gloves.</p>
<p>Hilariously, this isn&#8217;t the first time a company has attempted an advertising promotion related to urine. During 2001, Animal Planet <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/media/2001/may/31/advertising">placed urine-scented advertisements</a> on lamposts in order to attract dogs. When a dog owner stopped to let their pooch smell the lamppost, they would be exposed to a larger ad at the top of the lamppost promoting the network.</p>
