Because of the viral “6-7″ trend, In-N-Out Burger has officially removed the number “67″ from its ticket order system.
The West Coast-based burger chain removed “67″ from orders about a month ago. According to People, the restaurant has also banned “69.”
The change came after the number began to wreak havoc in stores because of the viral “6-7″ trend that is popular among kids.
Groups of kids and teenagers would regularly gather at the chain’s different locations and eagerly wait for the number to be called, per the New York Post.
For weeks, videos have been going viral online showing groups of adolescents gathered around the counter at various In-N-Out locations and then celebrating after order 67 is called.
A recent video circulating the internet shows an In-N-Out employees explaining to a customer that the number has in fact been removed from the system.
“We have taken 67 out of our system, so whenever we’re taking orders, it goes 66 to 68,” the worker said.
What is 6-7, and why is it so popular?
Despite its notoriety, the phrase “six seven” has no real meaning. It is commonly associated with NBA star LaMelo Ball saying his height “6′7″ or the song “Doot Doot (6 7) by Skrilla which includes the recurring lyric ”6-7."
This year, Dictionary.com immortalized “67″ as the word of the year and defined it as “a viral, ambiguous slang term that has waffled its way through Gen Alpha social media and school hallways.”
The definition continues: “While the term is largely nonsensical, some argue it means ‘so-so,’ or ‘maybe this, maybe that,’ especially when paired with a hand gesture where both palms face up and move alternately up and down.”
According to Dictionary.com the phrase is an example of brainrot slang, because of its unclear and shifting usage. The term 6-7 is intended to be absurd and nonsensical.
In-N-Out isn’t the only restaurant that has taken notice of the “6-7″ trend. Last month, both Wendy’s and Pizza Hut incorporated the number into their menus, per People. Wendy’s now has a 67-cent Frosty deal and Pizza Hut has 67-cent wings.
