The tweet also teased a big reveal on June 11, and didn’t specify what prompted the alleged name change.
Social media users flooded IHOP with guesses that included bacon, breakfast, beer, blueberries and beignets. Not everyone was thrilled with the p flipping to a b, however.

IHOP, which is now owned by Dine Brands Global, started as a restaurant in Toluca Lake, a suburb of Los Angeles in 1958. As of June, 2016, there were 1,695 IHOP locations in the United States and countries around the world.
