In-N-Out Burger reportedly removed the number \u00ab\u00a067\u00a0\u00bb from its ordering system last month after the viral \u00ab\u00a06-7\u00a0\u00bb meme caused chaos at restaurants nationwide.<\/b>
\nIn-N-Out Burger removed the number \u00ab\u00a067\u00a0\u00bb from its ticket system after the viral \u00ab\u00a06-7\u00a0\u00bb meme reportedly caused mobs of teenagers to flood restaurants.
People magazine confirmed with a Los Angeles employee on Tuesday that the burger chain officially removed the number from its system last month. The report came after several videos across social media featured young people erupting in chaotic cheering at In-N-Out locations when the number was announced.
\u00ab\u00a0We have taken 67 out of our system, so whenever we’re taking orders, it goes 66 to 68 because of people like you\u00a0\u00bb, one employee told a young man in a video.
The employee noted to People that the number \u00ab\u00a069\u00a0\u00bb was also removed from the system for a similar reason.
The \u00ab\u00a06-7\u00a0\u00bb originated from a song by rapper Skrilla, titled \u00ab\u00a0Doot Doot (6 7).\u00a0\u00bb The internet meme went viral after Charlotte Hornets basketball point guard LaMelo Ball popularized the term, using it as a reference to his height.
The trend triggers whenever either number \u2014 six or seven \u2014 comes up. Teens then shout \u00ab\u00a06-7!\u00a0\u00bb repeatedly while gesturing with both palms up, alternating like a balance scale.
In October, Dictionary.com listed \u00ab\u00a06-7\u00a0\u00bb as the 2025 Word of the Year, saying the term \u00ab\u00a0shows how seamlessly today\u2019s slang blends digital humor, sports culture and generational creativity.\u00a0\u00bb
\u00ab\u00a0It’s part inside joke, part social signal and part performance. When people say it, they’re not just repeating a meme; they’re shouting a feeling. It’s one of the first Words of the Year that works as an interjection, a burst of energy that spreads and connects people long before anyone agrees on what it actually means\u00a0\u00bb, Steve Johnson, director of lexicography for the Dictionary Media Group at IXL Learning, said in a statement.<\/p>\n
