Iconic breakfast chain IHOP is changing its name and people are SHOOK
On June 4, IHOP (aka the much-loved International House of Pancakes) announced on Twitter that they would be changing their name to IHOb – emphasis on the lowercase b.
The American pancake house and diner chain has many locations across Canada and posted it will reveal what this mysterious ‘b’ stands for on June 11.

So what could it stand for? Breakfast? Brunch? Bacon?
Your guess is as good as ours, but the legendary pancake spot even has a poll going on Twitter to generate buzz before the announcement.
Whether it’s a joke or a legit name change, people are not happy with this upcoming letter swap.
In fact, people are shook.

#IHOb is either a joke or the “b” stands for breakfast. Either way, hella stupid.
