When the International House of Pancakes decided to get into the burger game, burger joints around the country took to Twitter to tease the new kid on the block.

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.

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

And of course, IHOb's biggest rival had to chime in:

Although the name change brought a lot of social media attention to the restaurant, the rebrand was not official.
