International House of Burgers'? Check out the best, worst Twitter reactions to 'IHOb
June 12, 2018
IHOP recently teased a name change, flipping its "P" to a "b." The pancake chain announced this week that the "b" stands for "burgers." Most people were nonplussed at this decision ... aren't there already about a million places to get a good burger?
On today's show, Doc, Kris and Martin talked about the best restaurant chain Twitter reactions to "IHOb," along with the not-so-great responses that were a bit too corporate.
Burger King changed its display name and logo to "Pancake King" and got snarky on Twitter about IHOP encroaching on burger territory.
sorry, old Burger King can’t come to the phone right now...

Of course, the Wendy's social media team ruled the timeline with their contribution:
Remember when you were like 7 and thought changing your name to Thunder BearSword would be super cool?
Like that, but our cheeseburgers are still better.

Doc thought the Steak 'n' Shake attempt was a bit too formal and corporate:
.@IHOb A replica by definition cannot be as good as the original. The original #Steakburger was created by Steak ‘n Shake in 1934.

He was also lukewarm on Whataburger's contribution, which was similar to Burger King's but in his opinion, didn't go far enough.
As much as we love our pancakes, we'd never change our name to Whatapancake
