It was announced today that IHOP has now changed its name to IHOB, the International House of Burgers. I think it's one of the dumbest things I've heard recently, what do you guys think?

It's just a promotional thing. They're going to change it back.

I mean, I think they will, but the response I've seen thus far has been overwhelmingly negative, even if this is a temporary thing. Saw a few places calling it one of the biggest marketing failures ever.

Well, they've specifically said it's not a permanent. Not sure why someone would call it a marketing failure. It's been trending like crazy. They've even had other major companies tweeting about it. Free advertisement is never a bad thing. I doubt their numbers are going to decrease because of it.
 
Waffle House is 10000x better anyway.
Without question. Not only is the food better, but you always get some kind of crazy show to go with your meal. It's also an excellent place to go when you are trying to sober up.
 
IHOB sounds like somebody with a cold trying to say IHOP

They got a lot of free publicity for this. They even got me to be interested to find out what the change was going to be, and IDGAF about IHOP - not sure if I've ever even been to one. I was expecting Breakfast, or Bacon, or something like that. Do they even serve burgers, or was this their way of doing a new product reveal and letting everyone know they were going to start serving burgers? If they either already served burgers, or still have nothing to do with burgers, then I'd say this was a botch and deserves the negative reaction for wasting everyone's time with it.

They already served burgers, however this was to promote their new line of handmade steak burgers. I think their burgers before we're just those mass produced patties that most other fast casual places have.

Ok. Then I think it was actually a pretty decent ploy because I would have no idea about that if they just did whatever roll-out they do with any other new products. I can see why some people would be pissed, because it was definitely an anti-climactic ending after being hyped for a couple weeks. I'm somewhat disappointed that's all it was, but I don't really know what I was expecting (yes I do, I was hoping for International House of Blowjobs and anything short of that was going to be a bummer).

IHOB: Where both you and your waitress can simultaneously suck down a short stack.

Well I guess they are going with the “all press is good press” model but social media is tearing them apart. Someone tweeted at Wendy’s something like “you guys worried about IHOB” and Wendy’s responded “Not really afraid of the burgers from a place that decided pancakes were too hard.”

That wendy's account is awesome. They've passed out a bunch of good burn tweets. The ones about McDonald's are always good.

Seconded. Some kid asked Wendy's how many retweets it would take to get a year of free chicken nuggets. He didn't hit their proposed number but he broke the Twitter record for the most retweets ever so they gave him free nuggets anyway.

A couple months later, another kid asked how many retweets for a year of free Frostys (Frosties?). Wendy's simply replied: "They're 50¢." LOL
 
Apparently this is just a temporary change to promote their burgers, which makes more sense.

And yeah, that Wendy's Twitter is pretty great.
 
I don't do IHOP . . if, I wanted pancakes I might, but, thats a thing of the past for me.
 
You guys hyping up Waffle House need to learn how to cook your own breakfast/2am munchies. That stuff is garbage

It's hard to beat the entertainment at waffle House during late night/early morning. I've got a lot of great stories there that consist of some combination of cocaine, hookers, illegal alcohol sales, crazy people, vandalism, fighting and police.

But you can get that other places without the intestinal exorcism.

You need to stop. You can make political poasts all day and talk about dude's physiques all you want, but don't diss Waffle House.

Besides, the "unhealthiness" of it is overstated. It depends on what you order, obviously, but they use fresh and fairly wholesome ingredients. Like, they use Sunbeam bread which Is what I've used at home all my life.

Waffle House is healthier than pretty much any other fast food place you could think of (again, depending on what you get).

Lol Waffle House blows. Its not even the health/unhealthy thing. Its just low quality food

Fight me.
 
But did you decide on a set of irons yet?...
I'll make a new post about it when I do, haha!

My coach told me he'll show me some different irons and drivers during our next session. He's guided me pretty well to this point. There's just so many options out there right now I'm not sure I can really do that by myself without knowing much about golf to begin with.

But, get the swing right first... then get the shiny new toys next is the way I'm approaching it.

I haven't been to a Waffle House since I was probably 8 years old and don't feel like I'm missing much. However, perhaps I should go as an adult and give it a chance. I watched the Anthony Bourdain clip from when he went there, and it almost (almost) convinced me to go that day.

If you go, make sure it's at 2 in the morning and you are slightly drunk. That's when Waffle House is at it's best.
