IHOP says it's changing name to IHOb. Huh?

IHOP stands for International House of Pancakes. The chain has been around for 60 years and has used the IHOP acronym since 1973. So what in the name of a Rooty Tooty Fresh 'N Fruity is IHOP thinking by changing its name to IHOb?

IHOP tweeted and posted to its Facebook page on Tuesday that it plans to "flip" the "P" in its name on June 11.

The announcement clearly got people talking. People started to wonder if the b stood for breakfast, brunch or bacon, which would make sense.

But some had more amusing suggestions, such as broccoli, burritos, bitcoin and even breakdancing.

Wouldn't the "B" be for bathrooms?

I'm still ticked Count Floyd ripped me off. $20 for those 3-D glasses that probably cost 20 cents!

Yes.  None of the letters were rotated 180 degrees, as has been speculated upon in social media.  All of them were flipped.  However, some were flipped forward 180 degrees while others were flipped backwards 180 degrees.  I leave it to the readers to solve this puzzle.
