In-N-Out burger chain removes ’67’ from its ordering system to keep away annoying pranksters after viral ‘6-7’ meme

In-N-Out Burger has removed the number 67 from its ordering system after the viral “6-7” meme caused chaos in its stores, reports indicate.

An employee at a Los Angeles location told People that the double-digit number was retired after pranksters, largely teenagers fueled by internet trends, repeatedly waited for “67” to be called. A social media video also captured an In-N-Out worker explaining to a customer that the number was removed to curb the mischief.

“We have taken 67 out of our system, so whenever we’re taking orders, it goes 66 to 68,” the employee said. “Because of people like you.” In-N-Out did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Post.

The meme originates from rapper Skrilla’s song Doot Doot (6 7), which features the repeated lyric “six-seven.” It is also linked to NBA star LaMelo Ball, who stands 6-foot-7, though the phrase is primarily used by kids to tease adults who don’t understand it.

The “6-7” meme has gained enough cultural traction to earn Dictionary.com’s 2025 Word of the Year, highlighting its viral presence on social media and popularity among school-aged children.

Despite the recognition, the phrase has no concrete meaning, and some teachers have reportedly banned it in classrooms after students continuously chanted “Six-seven! Six-seven!”
