So not important, just a silly discussion...
But I was floored to hear that IHOP is turning into IHOb...Burgers? Like did they not think there was already enough competition in the Burger market?
I find this so intriguing...I wonder who their consulting firm was and what they are thinking...

When I first heard this I assumed the b was for breakfast but burgers is a strange choice. I think they’ll regret it.

I don't think its really a name change forever just a ploy to get people in..... with that said I think they are competing with Red Robin as they also offer unlimited fries.
I love a good burger so I might give it a try!
As a side I totally thought it would be "Bacon" and they were introducing some new bacon item - ha!

Hmm, the stunt might actually work. I’ve only ever gone for their breakfast and may try a burger.

I think it's a silly name change, even if it's a publicity stunt. But the fact that we are all talking about it means it's working!

Shocked, no.
I think it's just to get people talking, which has been a success I would say.

It is probably because it promotes people thinking of it as more than just a breakfast place and this establishes that you can think of going there for lunch/dinner too. Doubles or triples the audience.

I mean, as lame as it was, it got people talking tho, so maybe not that lame? Haha.

also funny was Wendy's tweet 
"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."
