In-N-Out Burger has updated its internal order ticket system, removing the number “67” after the digit became a recurring source of disruption tied to a viral TikTok trend.
The West Coast fast-food chain confirmed to People that the number has been eliminated from its queue system, with an employee at a Los Angeles location saying the change was implemented roughly a month ago.
According to that worker, the chain has also stopped using “69” for similar reasons.
In-N-Out has not issued a public statement explaining the decision, and corporate representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The change first caught public attention on Reddit, where users noticed a numerical skip while placing orders. One post described the system jumping directly from 66 to 68, prompting speculation about why 67 was missing.
Commenters quickly pointed to the viral “6-7” meme, which has been circulating heavily on TikTok and among Gen Alpha and Gen Z audiences throughout 2025.
As the trend gained traction, some In-N-Out locations reportedly saw younger customers reacting loudly or performing hand gestures when the number was called out, turning routine order pickups into chaotic moments for staff and diners alike.
One Reddit commenter wrote, “Viral 6-7 all the kids are yelling these days. My In-N-Out also skips this after a while—kids kept making a commotion when the number was called.”
The meme later spread through sports culture—particularly around NBA star LaMelo Ball, who stands 6-foot-7—and eventually spilled into mainstream pop culture, including television and brand marketing.
Dictionary Media Group’s director of lexicology, Steve Johnson, said the phrase persisted because of its playful lack of definition, calling it a cultural phenomenon that “just kept on growing larger and larger.”
