Stop At Two - Blogabond

I couldn't agree more with this message from a campaign, which used to run in the past. People shouldn't be trying for more than 2 if they can't manage it - and from this experience, we knew that we definitely wouldn't be able to handle 3 or more.

So we've decided to stop at 2...

... when it comes to IHOP pancakes, that is.

Breezing through the online menu the night before our breakfast visit to IHOP, I was resigned to settling for the Seniors Special. At 3 pancakes per portion, it was the smallest serving on the adult menu. Dan had already been seduced by the newest kid on the block - the Butterscotch Rocks pancakes - so there was no changing his mind. Plus, it's a well-known fact that men do not share their food due to some residual caveman tendencies residing in their genetic makeup.

But just as I was about to decide on the 3-stack portion for the Buttermilk pancakes (I decided against the Senior's Special cos I thought I would have to show my ID to prove that I was really 65 years old), I heard a meek "Baby... would you like to share the Butterscotch Rocks with me?" emitting from behind the menu sitting opposite me.

And I'm glad we did. Check out the monstrosity:

If Butterscotch Rocks can't rock your boat, I don't know what will.

And so.. the following learning points today were brought to you by DanYilin:

1) Men do share their food.
2) Sharing is good.
3) Stop at two.
