IHOP Answers a Famous Fan’s Request for
All-You-Can-Drink Milkshakes to Keep Americans Laughing
IHOP® today declared Monday, May 10, 2021 as “Milkshake Monday,”
as a sweet start to the week with a wink and a laugh. The promotion
was sparked by one very famous fan’s penchant for milkshakes,
following his viral visit to a busy IHOP restaurant last week in
Manhasset, Long Island, NY.

The lauded comedian, actor and filmmaker jokingly set the record
straight on Monday, Tweeting that he only left IHOP because the
restaurant’s all-you-can-eat offering did not apply to
milkshakes.
IHOP responded in kind and accepted the challenge: on “Milkshake
Monday,” guests are invited to visit any of the 19 IHOP locations
throughout Long Island, NY for All-You-Can-Drink milkshakes from
12:00-8:00 p.m. ET.
Guests across the country can also get in on the fun and enjoy a
milkshake at any IHOP restaurant nationwide for a good cause. For
every milkshake sold on “Milkshake Monday,” IHOP is donating $1
each (up to $50,000) to Comedy Gives Back, the nonprofit safety net
of the comedy community that helps struggling comedians who have
lost all income due to COVID-19 forced closures of comedy clubs and
venues. Comedy Gives Back addresses the needs of the comedy
community through crisis relief and access to mental health and
chemical dependency treatment.
“We take our guests’ suggestions very seriously in an effort to
continually shake things up and satisfy all palates with our
signature commitment to IHOSPITALITY,” said Kieran Donahue, CMO,
IHOP. “There is no better way to kick off the week and enjoy our
craveable menu than with a house-made milkshake, or as many as you
can drink. For more than 62 years, we have welcomed everyone –
famous and familiar – to pancake, smile and laugh together under
our blue roof.”
“We are thrilled to celebrate ‘Milkshake Monday’ at IHOP in the
spirit of a cheeky smile for a good cause,” said Amber J. Lawson,
CEO, Comedy Gives Back. “A delicious meal of pancakes and
milkshakes can make you happy any time of day, and while we could
all use a laugh right about now, some could use a lot more. A
handful of comedians are household names, but the majority are not;
we are grateful for IHOP’s support to help working comedians stay
afloat in this challenging time.”
IHOP’s house-made milkshakes are made with hand-scooped, premium
ice cream, vanilla, real milk, and whipped topping in four
mouthwatering flavors: HERSHEY’s Chocolate, Strawberry made with
real fruit, OREO® Cookie, and Vanilla.
