Twitter users are trolling Ihop with savage memes after it changed its name to Ihob.
Driving around the more than a few routes and highways in New Jersey the previous couple of months I realized that IHOP used to be making an attempt to actually show off their burgers to the automobile commuter crowd.
Now I keep in mind being broke and in college, using around late at evening and in search of a sit down position the place we will have a sizzling meal with out breaking the financial institution. One yr, for some explanation why, IHOP was our spot. My pal would all the time get a cheeseburger. It was reasonable and unusually no longer dangerous.
So, placing two together, when IHOP introduced that they'd be temporarily changing their name to "IHOB" like it was this great mystery, I had a sense it used to be a promotional tool for them to try to get consumers fascinated by their burgers. I assume people don't pay as much consideration to billboards as I do (most definitely because they're too busy focusing on the street, psh, nerds) because other folks have been a little bit shocked that the "b" stands for burgers.
