In light of IHOP changing its name to IHOB (International House of Burgers), other restaurant chains are coming out and poking some fun at the pancake giant.

The restaurant formerly known as the International House Of Pancakes made waves last week after announcing a name change to "IHOb." The chain remained coy about what the "b" stands for - until today. The answer, much to the internet's chagrin, is burgers.
We reported this "intel" last week after a couple IHOP insiders reported the beefy news. The restaurant is looking to remind people that they serve lunch and dinner, and have added several new burgers to their breakfast-y menu. So far, the internet has reacted with disbelief, confusion and anger. People who love IHOP apparently go there for the breakfast food - and are feeling pretty B-etrayed.
While we're not sure if the burgers will take off the way IHOP is hoping, we do have good news for the House of Pancakes purists - that P isn't actually going anywhere.
Humans have a tendency to take things for granted, and now we can add IHOP to the list of things we should have appreciated while we had the chance. The pancake flippin' breakfast chain is making waves after coyly announcing they would be changing their name to "IHOB." The chain has remained very purposefully mum on the reasoning behind the switch. Naturally, they've both caused (and encouraged) speculation.
While people and brands took to Twitter to figure out what the 'b' stands for, a couple people have claimed to have intel on the matter. It seems the 'b' may stand for 'burger.' If that's the case, it would seem that the world is abuzz over something that is actually quite anticlimactic - IHOP has been serving burgers for a very long time. We're hoping for something cooler, like BLOOD, or BOOBS. What's your money on?
