Dec. 10 (UPI) — West Coast fast food chain In-N-Out burger has removed the number “67” from its ticket order system due to the viral “6-7” trend, employees said.
An employee at one of the chain’s restaurants initially reported on Reddit that they noticed the ticket order system was skipping straight from “66” to “68,” and a worker at a Los Angeles location confirmed to People.com that the number was removed a month ago.
The removal comes after videos online showed crowds of rowdy teenagers and young adults waiting for the number “67” to be called and responding by celebrating boisterously.
The “6-7” trend has no specific meaning, but is commonly believed to have originated with the song “Doot Doot (6 7),” by Skrilla. The term was dubbed Dictionary.com’s 2025 word of the year.
“Perhaps the most defining feature of 67 is that it’s impossible to define,” Dictionary.com reported. “It’s meaningless, ubiquitous and nonsensical. In other words, it has all the hallmarks of brainrot. It’s the logical endpoint of being perpetually online, scrolling endlessly, consuming content fed to users by algorithms trained by other algorithms.
The Los Angeles employee confirmed the number “69” was also removed from the ordering system, for similarly viral — but more salaciously-defined — reasons.
