International House of Burgers?
IHOP, the restaurant chain, announced they'll be changing their name from "IHOP" to "IHOB." Many people figured IHOP planned on tweaking the brand from an International House of Pancakes to an International House of Breakfast.
The restaurant chain posted a teaser of the new name on social media this morning: "Burgers so burgerin' good, we changed our name to IHOb. For burgers."
Dear Internet, we abbreciate your batience. Now let’s see who guessed right. B-hold!!!!! #IHOb pic.twitter.com/Fh3SkZ7s3Y

But people had a lot to say about the name change:
Wait, IHOB stands for International House of Burgers? More like International House of Bankruptcy

So @IHOb is apparently "international house of burgers"

I mean
Who
Is going to go here
Instead of 5 guys
Or red Robin
Or almost any other place that sells burgers
Who
So IHOP becomes IHOb because they're now going to sell burgers, meanwhile, Sonic is featuring a Pickle Juice Slush. America is seriously doomed.

It isn’t just patrons who are questioning the change. Other companies are jumping on the bandwagon too.

Inspired by the International House of Burgers announcement, we are also changing our name (Please do not ask what it means — we don’t know either.) pic.twitter.com/0HPQtQirHn
