Someone invented a motorbike that runs on beer, and IHOP finally has a pancake coffee

We know, we know, you wish we did this every day, but there’s so much weird retail news out there and so little time. So we collect the best (weirdest) of the best and bring it to you weekly.

This week, a taco chain is very invested in liberating the phrase “Taco Tuesday,” and an avid American inventor has invented a vehicle that runs purely on a very specific type of alcohol.

Here’s what you need to know:

• A Minnesota man has created a motorcycle that runs on beer instead of gas.
• Taco Bell is pushing US regulators to free the phrase “Taco Tuesday.”
• IHOP has introduced a pancake-flavored coffee that can be made at home.

Our newsletter loyalists, particularly those who read our Friday, May 19, edition, may remember that we mentioned Dunkin’ had created an iced coffee that came with a splash of vodka to up its happy-hour traffic. Okay, first, wouldn’t that just be an espresso martini? And second, that’s not happening, so may we recommend some better cocktail bars?
