Notes About The Poem

IHOB
IHOP

 

***
Poet's notes:

Alrighty then...

"And so it ended, not with a burger, but with a whimper.  The International House of Pancakes is once more all about the flapjacks. The restaurant chain famed for its breakfast menu upset and entertained fans in June when it (IHOb) to promote a new hamburger menu. The publicity stunt/experiment wrapped up on Monday.  IHOP posted on its @IHOb Twitter account, which completely took over for @IHOP during the name change, that it's now returned to its original moniker: 'We really appreciate the burgerin' loyalty, but we're back to @IHOP again.'  The restaurant group also updated its website to remove the temporary IHOb logo and replace it with the usual IHOP version.  IHOP is now using the name flip to push a 60th anniversary pancake sale. It gave a nod to the sometimes contentious (but mostly amusing) name change furor in a tweet reading, 'We'd never turn our back on pancakes (except for that time we faked it to promote our new burgers).'"  (Excerpt from https://www.cnet.com/news/ihop-flips-back-to-pancakes-drops-ihob-name/)

I'm glad they cleared that up...

Lol... It’s been great fun watching them waffle on this issue :) (I can’t help myself. I had to say it again:)

lol sheesh, I couldn't understand why they would do that. at first I thought they changed the p to b to stand for breakfast, international house of breakfast, which might make more sense, who goes to a pancake house to get burgers... it certainly was an identity crisis!

I thought breakfast too but they tricked us. We will see if their burgers are any good.
