10 Words That The B in IHOP’s New Name Should Have Been INSTEAD Of Burgers

Because obviously they've never heard of the phrase “if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

So, IHOP is now IHOb. And the "b" stands for burgers. OK.

Here are 10 things that would have made so much more sense.

1. Biscuits

If you're a born Southerner like me, biscuits have a special place in your heart (most likely your coronary arteries). They're perfect for any meal, and they go with just about anything.

2. Bacon

Giphy

Another food that has a place in my heart, bacon is the best add-on for any meal (if it's not already the main course). If it's savory, crispy, and delectable, it might just be bacon.

3. Bears. Beets. Battle Star Galactica.

Giphy

Is it too much to ask that they become a restaurant focused on "The Office"? I'm picturing it now: beet flavored pancakes, generic birthday decorations, and some type of cake (hopefully not carrot).

4. Brooke

Hopefully, the owners of IHOP have decided to gift me their breakfast franchise. I will graciously accept the new International House of Brooke and will offer free breakfast to all college students.

5. Blockbuster

Giphy

Reviving an old franchise could liven up the IHOP atmosphere. Imagine breakfast and "The Breakfast Club." After all, who doesn't love dinner AND a show?

6. Beyoncé

Giphy

It makes sense. Queen B's voice is as smooth as honey, so why shouldn't she rule an empire just as sweet? She always has hot sauce in her bag (which is great on IHOP's hash browns), so it should be of no surprise that IHOP decided to recognize her.

7. Butter

Giphy

As my step-father used to say, “Everything's better with a little butter." Breakfast is no exception! Who doesn't love that little butter square on their pancakes?

8. Books

Giphy

Not unlike a library (which would be horribly sticky when pancakes are involved), IHOP could be focused on a kid's only section. They could hire a reader to take kids on a journey through fantasy lands while they ate breakfast. It could also give parents a chance to enjoy their food for once.

9. Bachelor's Degree

Giphy

Finally putting that degree to some good use, IHOP could be celebrating the nation's attempt to further education. Anyone with a bachelor's degree could join the exclusive International House of Bachelor's club and receive free breakfast for life (or just one buttermilk pancake, either is fine with me).

10. Breakfast

Giphy

Honestly the most believable one on this list, the new IHOb could be the International House of Breakfast. Considering that IHOP offers crepes, bacon, eggs, chicken, waffles, and french toast, along with many other items, they may be trying to break away from only being known for their pancakes.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
