Central New Yorkers, prepare yourself - IHOP has changed its name. The restaurant best known for its pancakes has dropped the P.

IHOP, The International House of Pancakes says they're changing their name to IHOB - and the B stands for burgers. I'm not sure how you get from pancakes to burgers, but as you might imagine, other fast food restaurants who specialize in burgers are none too pleased.

The burn of the day definitely goes to whoever runs Wendy's Twitter account:

Burger King went a step further and (temporarily) changed its name to "Pancake King."

What about McDonald's, the lord of burgers? They didn't even bother to respond. They're McDonald's and they don't care about your pancake burgers, IHOB.

The restaurant formerly known as IHOP says they don't know how long they'll stick with the IHOB name, and they are fully converting a Hollywood, CA IHOP over to the new brand - but it seems like this is just a whopper of a publicity stunt to promote their lunch and dinner menus, and a fresh offering of burgers.
