It’s because it’s a place up in the mountains, and the ice machine is in an outside breezeway. If the temperature gets below freezing, I assume the water line that feeds the ice maker freezes up. (Of course, it’s funnier without the explanation.)

Oh, that’s actually bent my brain a little bit!

Reminds me of the hotel my wife and I visited. The sign on the ice machine read, “Ice not available when temperature is below 32 degrees.”

Incidentally, classic American branding there:

International House of Pancakes – “As of December 31, 2008, the chain had 1396 restaurants in 49 states, Canada and Mexico.”

Canada and Mexico really doesn’t count as International.

Just like the “World Series” that only America plays!

It’s traditional breakfast stuff plus lunch and dinner stuff too.

But you can’t order bacon. I forbid it. :p lol

And is it just pancakes or does IHOP include traditional breakfast stuff too? Because if there’s such a thing as a 24/7 International House of BACON, I may have to seriously consider moving there…
