Burger mania hits the US after IHOP name stunt

IHOP may be gearing up to serve a new line of burgers, but it sure wasn't prepared for a beef on Twitter.

Mixed emotions are surfacing all over Twitter after the pancake house, which is temporarily changing its name to "IHOb," revealed that the 'b' stood for burgers. The chain will now be serving seven new types of hamburgers in an effort to rebrand and reach a wider audience.

But other restaurant giants are pounding the patties on social media. Burger King responded by changing its logo on Twitter and Facebook to "Pancake King."

Here are some the most savage tweets:
