Never been and never will. They could change their name to international house of free food and I will never go there.

but where are you going to finish your 5 pager on Kazantzakis and re-imagining the Church at 3am?

There's a story here I'm sure of it.

I have seen a lot of people take a lot of different stances but I have never seen anyone draw the proverbial line in the sand on breakfast food establishments. We need DEMAND the backstory story here.

looks like IHOP is getting nothing but ridicule for this

while true, what does that mean in terms of butts in seats in today's social media landscape?

Starbucks, Waffle House, Chik-fil-a, et al have "controversial" social media kerfuffles that don't seem to hurt them long term
this one is mostly self-inflicted, so it's a bit different than the others, but this still seems to fall into the 'any publicity is good publicity' category
(the other fast food places are just gleefully using the opportunity to get their brands out there too, free of charge)

Whoever came up with this idea should be fired.

Pizza Hut Plan to Change Name to "The Hut" Meets With Ridicule - CBS News

Dominos isn’t the same because no one I knew ever called it anything other than dominos

Nobody said “do you want pizza from Pizza Hut or dominos pizza?”

The slogan is No one out Pizzas The Hut.

And this was never brought up in the office in 2009 so I'm inclined to believe that they never intended to change the Brand name.

IHOb should really stand for "International House of betrayal," because less than a month since the big reveal, the former burger house is reverting back to its pancake roots. In an announcement on Monday, IHOP called its thoroughly underwhelming marketing stunt "the time we faked it."

IHOb is dead and we're back to IHOP again

End thread.

hopefully this doesn't stymie the plans for Wassail House
