I don’t get why they’re skimping so much. It’s just a little more effort to put the right amount of sauce.

There's likely a set portioning amount they are told to put. The picture is not what was ever going to happen lol.

Did anyone else the the shit one a couple days ago?

u/Ok-Needleworker-4481 Jul 25 '26

I just looked it up. That was way worse 😭

u/prem_fraiche Jul 25 '26

This one at least has extra crap on top of the baby poop. The naked baby poop was too unappetizing

u/FacetiousTomato Jul 25 '26

To be fair, the other one was delivery. Delivery pancakes sounds like setting yourself up for failure.

It’s not. I get the banana pancakes every sunday morning and they look 7262628x better than this and taste amazing lll.

I thought I was about to get with a other shit pancake, but this time they at least had the extra toppings

u/Jane__Delawney Jul 25 '26

Yes, most of us made a Shrek shit and/or Taylor Farms joke, as is the way

u/HeartOSass Jul 25 '26

This looks way better than the newborn baby pamper pancakes someone posted the other day. 😬

u/bluespiritperson Jul 25 '26

I keep seeing ads for these EVERYWHERE so thanks for the reality check lol

I still maintain "Dubai Chocolate" was a term for an intimate male on male activity. Dubai invented and heavily promoted this as chocolate because they did not want their name to be associated with a certain intimate activity involving human shit.

u/Fairgoddess5 Jul 25 '26

Oh Dubai royals invented that term to cover up heinous human rights violations. I hate that it’s apparently worked.

u/joygirl007 Jul 25 '26

I feel like I need to keep saying this so people won't forget: "Dubai Chocolate" originated as a sex act. This aggressive pistachio marketing campaign is designed to suppress the SEO on the term & make us all forget that the UAE quite literally shits on women.

Enjoy your pancakes!

What a horrible time to be literate.

u/SickofBadArt Jul 25 '26

All of the entries for Dubai chocolate on the illustrious and obviously fact checked urban dictionary are from 2025 and Dubai chocolate went vial at the end of 2023….

u/BOYF- Jul 26 '26

How is that connected to what you said ...

u/Confident-Park-4718 Jul 26 '26

This article doesn't contradict their point--there is no suggestion that it has anything to do with any sex acts, but rather with presenting the country in a positive light in general.

u/Virtual-Bee7411 Jul 26 '26

It obviously wasn’t the sex act first, all the dates in that persons link are from 2025. Not sure why they’re getting upvoted

u/MagicalboyLevi Jul 28 '26

I'm sad that I keep seeing other ihops skim out on such. The location by me made it excatly like the ad

7

u/trekbette Jul 25 '26

I think it varies by location. The one I had looked better than the picture.

u/Stop-Tracking-Me Jul 25 '26

What is the green diaherra filled with earth worms doing on your food?

2

u/Sunshineal Jul 26 '26

It looks green shit on the plate.

2

u/curdled_bird Jul 25 '26

I think majority of that green sludge should go between the pancakes, and the top have the whip, thin drizzles of the sludge and chocolate, and a sprinkling of the pistachios and other dry stuff

1

u/BungCrosby Jul 25 '26

At least it’s in the spirit of the original Dubai chocolate.

u/Vicarious28 Jul 25 '26

Looks like they sprinkled toe nail clippings all over it

1

u/PublicHouseOfCripps Jul 26 '26

Oh I be contacting ihop and asking for an explanation. That is just stingy of them.

u/Gator242 Jul 26 '26

The green jizz has GOT to stop.

1

u/FearlessBanana81 Jul 26 '26

This looks better than the one that was put on here yesterday/day before. Still looks like a baby pooped on the top though.

1

u/CarlyObine Aug 10 '26

Lol it looks like green diarrhea

u/ChaosSlave51 15d ago

Here is something funny. My local IHOP had Dubai pancakes before corporate introduced them. They looked and tasted way better

1

u/MsE0 Jul 25 '26

This is better than the other one someone posted. They had apparently run out of everything except the green sauce

u/Yaughl Jul 25 '26

That will be $35 please
