IHOP Launching Line of Dr. Suess-themed Breakfast Items

In support of the new Universal Pictures flick Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax, IHOP is launching a Lorax-themed range of breakfast items.

Not only are there some great looking menu items to choose from, there’s also a green initiative behind the entire campaign. In an effort to ‘Plant 3 Million Trees,’ participating IHOP locations starting February 20th will be giving away one of 3 million free Lorax bookmarks to kids aged 3-12. Each bookmark has ‘tree seed paper’, in essence they’ve been embedded with seeds, in an encourage to cultivate and raise discussion about the environment with a younger audience.

For the menu, IHOP has done its darndest to try and capture the visual flair of Dr. Seuss’ literature in an edible format. Here is the limited-time menu will look like:

  • Truffula Chip Pancakes – Whole wheat pancakes filled with rainbow sprinkles, topped with more sprinkles and a creamy strawberry yogurt sauce.
  • The Lorax’s Breakfast – Green Eggs & Ham, made with scrambled eggs and creamed spinach – a hearty ham slice and hash browns. Served with your choice of one Rooty Tooty Bar-Ba-Looty Blueberry Cone Cake, two Truffula Chip Pancakes or two Buttermilk Pancakes.
  • Rooty Tooty Bar-Ba-Looty Blueberry Cone Cake – A fluffy pancake with blueberries in a crispy waffle cone, topped with blueberry compote and sprinkled with powdered sugar.
  • Mac ‘n Cheese & Truffula Trees – KRAFT-brand Macaroni & Cheese with broccoli florets. Served with fresh fruit.
  • Pipsqueak’s Breakfast – Green Eggs & Ham – made with one scrambled egg and creamed spinach – served with a ham quarter. Served with your choice of Rooty Tooty Bar-ba-looty Blueberry Cone Cake, one Truffula Chip Pancake or one Buttermilk pancake.

    We actually ate at IHOP this morning and got two tree seeds. I’m trying, however, to figure out what kind of tree it is. Is there any way to tell?

    • Love_my_boys1729

      I too am wondering this

  • currious george

    Its a combination of  blue spruce and canadian white pine according to http://thegoldengecko.com/blog/?p=3797

    • Pinkysue83

      Will this actually have any sort of flowering that looks like the trees in the movie?

  • Angelndskyze

    Be cool if it were a Formosa those flowers look like the Lorax.

  • Emilygrund

    What do I do if the tree starts to grow?  Where do I plant it for maximum growth?  My five-year-old will not understand if  it doesn’t grow.
