What's the thing with In-N-Out Burger and the number 67?

"Social media is buzzing with reports that the Southern California chain has stopped numbering its orders 67 because the term six-seven is meaningful to youthful social media users. The reasons aren't clear, according to Dictionary.com, which declared 6-7 the word of the year in October. The website calls it an example of brainrot slang, meaning it stems for low quality digital media content."

"At any rate, In-N-Out reportedly retired the number to avoid creating disruptions in its dining rooms when staff called out the order 67. Reddit users noticed the numerical gap and began to speculate about it. News outlets such as SFGate, People and Newsweek picked up the story this week. At press time, In-N-Out had not issued a comment on the matter."

In-N-Out Burger opened its first restaurants east of the Mississippi in Tennessee, with drive-thrus in Antioch and Lebanon. The chain reportedly stopped using order number 67 after social media attached the slang term "six-seven" to the number. Dictionary.com named 6-7 its word of the year and labeled it brainrot slang without a fixed meaning. Some sources trace six-seven to a 2024 Skrilla song and TikTok use by LaMelo Ball. The number was retired reportedly to avoid dining-room disruptions when staff called orders. Fans documented missing receipts and many supporters said the change helps busy restaurant workers.
