Tuesday night University students flocked to the 459 and the 5 for the Pancake Breakfast hosted by President F. King Alexander and LSU Dining, only to find out they had been lured by a false promise.
The dining halls were serving French toast instead of pancakes.
The official LSU Twitter account displayed numerous tweets Tuesday promoting the free pancake event, such as, “Are #pancakes the meaning of life? Let’s find out. 12/3, 10 pm – 12 am, 459 Commons and The 5, ” “The #pancakes will fall like rain,” and “The power of FREE #PANCAKES compels you! 12/3, 10 pm – 12 am, 459 Commons and The 5.”
Twitter shout-outs like, “@lsu really? You don’t even have pancakes!” and “@lsu It was great but what I really wanted was some pancakes #falseadvertisement” appeared on the social media site later that night.
However, Student Government President John Woodard said he considered this year’s event to be better than previous free pancake nights because more breakfast options were offered.
 Biology senior Kirstie Watkins said upon entering the 459 Tuesday night, she was greeted by a table with assorted toppings such as whipped cream, sprinkles and caramel syrup, but it was for hot chocolate. 
“They set you up to believe there were going to be pancakes because you walk in and see all of these awesome toppings and no pancakes,” she said.
Other students like business management junior Ayo Fasheyide said this year’s menu selection was better than the pancake-only option in previous years.
“From what I understand, they just wanted to amp it up this year and provide a full breakfast,” Woodard said.
LSU Dining Resident District Manager Tom Williamson said the department will need to look into how the event was communicated on the social media page in order to see where the pancake confusion happened. 
The event will most likely receive a name change in the future, Woodard said.
