Title: You can get free pancakes at IHOP today

Don't flip out. But this Tuesday could be better than your last.

Breakfast lovers can get free pancakes today at IHOP restaurants as part of the restaurant chain's National Pancake Day festivities.

And naturally #NationalPancakeDay is trending on Twitter in the U.S.

IHOP started offering free pancakes in 2006 and has raised nearly $16 million for charities, according to the company.

This year, the goal is to raise $3.5 million with more than 1,500 stores participating.

How does it work?

Customers can receive a free short stack of Buttermilk pancakes and if they are so inclined leave a donation for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals or other charities associated with IHOP. Only folks that dine-in are eligible.

"Little did we dream, ten years ago, that thanks to the generosity of our guests, we would be able to raise $16 million dollars, one short stack at a time, and make a substantial difference in the lives of the children in our local communities," said Julia Stewart, interim president of International House of Pancakes, LLC.

BTW, this might well be a complete scam by IHOP. They may raise and eventually deliver the money to the charity as claimed but they might take a year or more to actually deliver the money.

In the meantime, they have the money you gave them for charity to use as an interest-free loan.

Yes, it may be a good PR stunt -
but boy are you negative!

It's a worthy cause, right?
So worthy that I WAS going to go to IHOP,
have a cup of coffee (which I would PAY for),
make a donation, and skip the pancakes.
(They'd raise my blood sugar too much -
diabetic - I can't eat them - regardless of how
much I LIKE them.)

But no, I will follow your Scrooge-lead and forget
about it. Okay? Sheesh...

So I am to blame that you can't go eat 3 tiny pancakes (and other stuff you'd buy at IHOP to go with it). And you really resent it. Fine.

Most people don't grasp how charities in America have become such total scams. Many spend more than half of what they raise on ever more advertising and nagging their donors into giving more until the donors get sick of them and then they sell their names and addresses and donation history to other scamming charities. Meanwhile, the top staff of these operations live like kings with first-class air travel and luxury hotels, charity-owned condos in Vail and Aspen, and salaries in the hundreds of thousands. What, all because they're qualified enough to make a few tearjerker commercials and run an operation by hiring a number of mailing-list experts?

Rebate programs work the same way. You pay more, they get to use your money for free until they get around to mailing you a rebate check. And they can dink around on doing that as well in many states, claim they lost the paperwork, etc.

And the churches do get in on the act as well.

There are only a few real charities left in the country.

BTW, you do realize this is almost certainly why Shatner couldn't cancel so he could attend Nimoy's funeral. He wasn't there for charity, he was there for a paycheck from the Red Cross, the same Red Cross that pays millions to its executives and has its big lodges in Vail, etc.

They aren't charities any more. They're just tax-exempt businesses. What they are selling is letting you feel good about yourself, however little of the advertised purpose of the charity is ever accomplished.

Other than in states that have more restrictive laws, it is generally legal in America to spend less than 10% of the take from any charity for the declared charitable purpose.

I tend to agree with you in general.

I see these SPCA commercials that I can't watch because I'm a pet lover.

I see these TV adverts for charities for vets with missing arms and legs and ask myself why don't their military benefits and health care cover this through our tax dollars and systems.

Here is one I'm trying to comprehend. Goodwill. Everything they get is free/donated, so their markup is infinity. I window shop there once a month or so and have purchased nice clothing for a few bucks each. Now they are promoting some sort of employment application training with computers to help unemployed folks find work. My gf thinks they are thieves for charging $2K for a mink stole they paid nothing for. I'm not sure. Your thoughts?

I give to my local church and have learned to politely say no to cold telephone calls.

You didn't ask me,but MY thoughts are if the coat isn't a good buy at 2 grand,she shouldn't buy it.

I also think it is faulty logic to demand someone,even a charity,sell you something for far less than market value just because it was donated to them.

Would you demand someone that inherited a house from their parents sell it to you for 100 bucks because they got it "for free"?

That's why poor people like me shop there. And my friends too. Walk in a Goodwill or thrift shop and see. Actually, you'll see a few nice vehicles in the parking lot.

My friend's wife volunteers at the local soup kitchen once a week. She sees nice cars and well off seniors - freeloading. It's a no question asked operation.

Remember when the government was giving away free cheese? I couldn't believe all the Cadillacs and Lincolns parked all up and down both sides of the highway as the SS crowd showed up for the freebies between rounds of bridge and golf.

I do. I was in charge of the Wisconsin delivery. The cheeseheads became so dangerous that we had to stand at the Illinois border and roll cheese wheels into that insane asylum.
