Go Home IHOP, You’re Drunk…Wendy’s Please Drive ‘Em Home

IHOP, home to drunk nights, morning hangovers…and my weekly weekend family breakfasts – is now iHob. (Sounds like a miserable ~circa 2005~ Apple marketing attempt).

What is IHOB?

It’s the International House of Beer…okay Burgers. (But to be honest, Four Loko was clearly the influencer in this decision)

Dear Internet, we abbreciate your batience. Now let’s see who guessed right. B-hold!!!!! #IHOb pic.twitter.com/Fh3SkZ7s3Y

I mean it’s all a ploy right? Why did the “House that Pancakes Built” decide to throw shade at the sweet little innocent girl with red pig-tails? Burgers are not yours IHOP, NOT YOURS!

But something tells me Wendy has thick skin:

Can't wait to try a burger from the place that decided pancakes were too hard.

We don’t want any beef with you, we just want to share our beef with the world

Welcome to the neighborhood 😉

Which brings me to real point behind this blog post…I want to salute the Social Media Manager at Wendy’s. You are a true treasure and a sight for the world to see. I hope there is intense brightness in your future because I applaud your creativity.

I used to manage four major magazines with a strict guideline of “don’t offend anyone,” and I had always wished my job was as cool as Wendy’s Corporate. Now I work for a franchise in senior-level staffing, so I guess you can say that you inspired me.

Thank you Wendy’s. You should change your name to the International House of Burgers…seriously you should. I love your food. Please send a coupon.

Oh, and please enjoy a collection of all the other brands that shit on them:

Inspired by the International House of Burgers announcement, we are also changing our name (Please do not ask what it means — we don’t know either.) pic.twitter.com/0HPQtQirHn

We’re as serious about pancakes as @IHOb is about burgers https://t.co/IQ7J2TX47T

No worries here…

Wendy’s, please don’t change:

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.
