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.”
The lowercase b is the capital P inverted, by the way.
IHOP announced the change on its Twitter feed.
For 60 pancakin’ years, we’ve been IHOP. Now, we’re flippin’ our name to IHOb. Find out what it could b on 6.11.18. #IHOb pic.twitter.com/evSxKV3QmT

Many have been guessing what the “b” stands for, and IHOP has been exhorting its followers to surmise the mystery word.
Not quite, keep guessing!
