National Pancake Day! Holiday Inn Express Is Selling Pancake-Warming Hoodies
It's National Pancake Day . . . or, one of them at least. IHOP observes one around Mardi Gras each year. But there's randomly another one on September 26th.
A poll for it found just 7% of Americans don't like pancakes. That includes 2% who passionately HATE them.
The most popular types are buttermilk, blueberry pancakes, and chocolate chip.
No real deals to speak of this time, but Holiday Inn Express is offering one VERY random product for it.
They teamed up with the clothing brand Mr. Eatwell for a line of "Pancakesuits" . . . a hoodie-and-sweats combo with a built-in pancake-warming pouch.
If you love pancakes so much you want to carry them around in your pockets, they're $100 at MrEatwell.com.

And Now, Restaurant Portions Are About to Get Smaller?
We all know how ridiculous the portion sizes are at a lot of restaurants. And let's be honest, at a lot of places the FOCUS is QUANTITY over quality.
According to a new report, portion sizes in the U.S. shot up in the 1980s and never came down. But there's a good chance that will change soon, and there are several reasons why.
For one, restaurants are dealing with rising food costs . . . and there's also food WASTE. A recent study found that as much as 40% of the food that's served at restaurants never gets eaten.
There are also people taking "GLP-1" diabetes and weight-loss drugs who are eating less . . . and trends where people are using tech to monitor their portion sizes to control their calorie intake.
Finally, there's so-called "snackification," which is gaining popularly among younger people. That's where traditional meals are replaced with snacks and small platters of food that take the place of meals.
Okay, fine . . . but there's ONE THING that will determine if this will work: Are people going to get the same value, or is this another SQUEEZE?
According to the 2024 National Restaurant Association report, more than 75% of customers say they want smaller portions . . . FOR LESS MONEY.
If you're going to shrink the portion sizes and try to get away with serving LESS of the SAME food . . . then there will be backlash.
