IHOP makes waves with name-change mystery
The company is switching ‘pancakes’ for something beginning with the letter ‘b.’ Many pancake aficionados took to social media to decry the move.
The International House of Pancakes is removing the hotcakes from its name.
The new acronym, “IHOb,” has been teased on social media, but the company won’t spill the coffee beans yet on what the new name stands for. Many speculate it will include “breakfast.”

IHOP announced the change on its Twitter feed.
