IHOP kid’s menu is calling our childhood years the “late 1900’s”. WTF?!

My caught said this to be one and it took all my patience to not have a breakdown.

Probably so that people share it all over social media for free advertising. 😉

Who the heck is in charge at IHOP that would let someone make that mistake?

I say we stomp him…then we tattoo him…then we hang him…and then we kill him!
jawnbaejaeger@reddit
I say we let him go...
anhydrousslim@reddit
NO!
xtlhogciao@reddit
I was a little disappointed they cut right before Cassandra Peterson (Elvira), but decided that line was a good/funny way to end the clip.
jawnbaejaeger@reddit
I say... you let ME have him first.

Omg. Why are they doing this to us?

Goes back a lot farther than that
BoltsGuy02@reddit
It’s not wrong 🤷🏻♂️

Pretty sure whoever made this was born at some point before 2000 and meant this in a tongue in cheek way. We'll have to wait a bit more for "late 1900s" to be used unironically the way that we lump all of our parents' prime years together as "mid-century".
neanderthalman@reddit
Do you remember in school learning about stuff at “the turn of the century”?
That phrase doesn’t refer to 1900 anymore.

Do it with a crown or a jester's hat if you're not a poser
GarblingCumfarts@reddit
pffft, only a poseur would spell it poser.
Thoguth@reddit
So I guess the late 1900's were different in Canadia

Espexer@reddit
Jester hats on everything. I never questioned why. We just hive minded it.
Thoguth@reddit
Ha ha and they're right.

Sooooo....1907-1909?
ah_rosencrantz@reddit
When do you think the late 1800s or late 1700s were?
ILikeBumblebees@reddit
1806-1809 and 1706-1709 respectively.
Using "1800s" makes it at best ambiguous about what time range you're talking about, and if you're doing in in the same context where people are using e.g. "1920s" or "2010s", then it's reasonable to assume you're talking about a decade, not a century. It's much better to say "19th century", "18th century", etc.
Tylerdurden389@reddit
Thank you. That's what the image should've said. Late 20th century, that or simply late 1990's. I'd say "Towards the end of the century" but I'm guessing this is a kids book/magazine and that kind of wording may be too much for them to grasp depending on the age range the thing aims for.
swilkers808@reddit
Yeah. It is not "incorrect".
Illustrious-Lead-960@reddit (OP)
I’ve noticed that no one seems to be talking about the S-thing showing up in a children’s menu, only the word “1900s”.
bikeonychus@reddit
I think a lot of us saw the cool S then read 'late 1900s' and had an immediate breakdown.

I always tell younger people about how life was in the late 1900s.
Ineedavodka2019@reddit
Do you sit in a rocking chair while doing so?
RoyalPuzzleheaded259@reddit
No but I might just start.
EvenLettuce6638@reddit
Like, in 1909?
Mountain-Fox-2123@reddit
The amount of people who does not understand that 1900s is used for both 1900-1909 and 1900-1999 is far to high.
anananon3@reddit
That’s what I call it
singleguy79@reddit
I mean they're not wrong.

I'm cackling 😂 because it's true.
Now pardon me, children. I need to take my back pill and drink my Metamucil.

No, that was the early 90s.

Also, fuck them kids.
SlavaSobov@reddit
My great grandfather was born in the late 1800s so I guess I can be born in the late 1900s.
207Menace@reddit
The late 1900s
IkariYun@reddit
I mean, we're a quarter of the way through the 21st century... Why did I have to say it like that...
Stonk_Lord86@reddit
It is sort of fair. We are 1/4 century away from those days. And it’s fun to say, honestly. I tell my younger co-workers that I’m from the 1900’s all the time.

I was too young to watch that show as a child but somehow old enough to be in it.
Stonk_Lord86@reddit
Where everybody knows your name.
lmawatt@reddit
I like to refer to it as last Millennium.
Piranha_Vortex@reddit
Kids come in for Prom or Homecoming haircuts and I say "Ah, I remember I went to those back in the nineteeeeen hundreds. Come back and tell me what they are like now."

Eh, it’s funny.
