Are you tired of hearing about the ‘6-7′ trend that has swept across social media? It appears that In-N-Out is over it as well, as the fast-food giant has decided to eliminate ’67’ from its order numbering.
If you haven’t been paying attention online, the ‘6-7′ meme has been everywhere for the past few months. It’s caused such a stir that some educators have prohibited it in their classrooms due to the disruption it causes.
In-N-Out has followed suit by removing ’67’ from their ordering system, ensuring that the sequence jumps directly from ’66’ to ’68’. This is not the first time In-N-Out has dealt with number-related issues; they also skip ’69’ because of its suggestive connotations.
According to PEOPLE Magazine, the burger chain has confirmed the removal of the number, and a staff member from Los Angeles mentioned that this change took place about a month ago.
PEOPLE Magazine has attempted to contact In-N-Out for further comments.
The discovery of this change was initially shared on Reddit by a group of younger fast-food enthusiasts who noticed the disappearance of the infamous number from the order calls.
A clip on the forum showed an employee confirming the rumor, stating to a customer, “We have actually taken 67 off our system, so whenever we’re taking orders, it goes 66 to 68, because of people like you.”
Wondering what ‘6-7’ actually means? Fortunately, it’s not that complicated. The phrase ‘six-seven’, also written as ‘6-7’, is largely meaningless, often used for comedic effect when it appears.
Numerous TikTok influencers have weighed in on the discussion to clarify the mystery, including Mr. Lindsay, a social media personality who brands himself as the app’s ‘OG Student Translator’.
The origins of the meme are linked to hip-hop artist Skrilla’s track ‘Doot Doot’, released in December 2024, featuring the line: “6-7, I just bipped right on the highway (bip, bip).”
“This meme goes viral,” stated Mr. Lindsay. “Everybody is making edits, everybody is saying ‘six, seven,’ all of these content creators are starting to put ‘six, seven’ into all of their things.”
The hype surrounding the number seems to have captivated the younger generation.
