IHOP's new commercial

[Anonymous]

Have you seen IHOP's new commercial where they try to sell you on how great it is that their omelettes have pancake batter in them? So effing weird!! They interview people and ask how they feel about having pancake batter in an omelette and apparently get people to say how great that sounds....as if! Ohmigod! Yes, this is exactly what obese America needs...flour, carbs, and empty calories in an omelette!

it's just a "splash"of batter.

Carm down. This is nothing new that IHOP has been doing... been doing it for years (and mentions it on their menu, so it's no secret when you order). Also, most of the other pancake places do the same thing....

Seriously calm down. Just don't eat there and stop worrying about everyone else. Geez.

Their pancakes are delicious. Their eggs...suck.

I actually found the commericals to be strange also. I never eat at IHOP, so I never heard of putting a splash of pancake batter in omeletes, but I was surprised that they were playing this off as a good thing. I wonder if they got sued for not being forthright about putting carbs/gluten into their eggs, and this was their positive spin on making sure they were being transparent.

Well I guess in a world where McDonalds can get sued for not telling people that coffee is hot, anything is possible.

I worked in diners all the way through college and grad school and 3 out of the 3 I worked in put some type of batter in the egg mixture to stretch it out and fluff it up.

I had no idea this was done, but then again, I can't eat at IHOP. Pay for food like pancakes/eggs/bacon that I can make at home? Nope.

I don't see the analogy. Of course coffee is hot. It is a hot beverage. But why in the world would omelettes naturally contain pancake batter?

Why would anyone assume that anything served in a fast food place doesn't have carbs and gluten?

Seriously! Can you imagine restaurants selling big expensive steaks?! When you can make them at home!? How crazy would that be?

It's a good argument for paying for sushi. I don't have access to that quality of fish even if I knew how to cut it.

HA! Got me - I should have said that I can EASILY & cheaply make at home. I guess I could make sushi at home, but honestly, that's too much trouble.
