  • In-N-Out Burger employees have reportedly stopped using the number "67" to announce customer orders.
  • The West Coast burger chain is said to have removed both "67" and "69" entirely from its ordering system, a change confirmed by a Los Angeles employee about a month ago.
  • The decision was made due to a viral "6-7" slang trend, popular among Gen Alpha, which originated from rapper Skrilla's song "Doot Doot (6 7)".
  • The trend led to teenagers causing commotions and cheering in restaurants when the number "67" was called out, as depicted in viral TikTok videos.
