I gather it’s supposed to mean something (though I don’t see any meaning behind numbers aside from literal counting and measuring), but seriously, what’s up with 67 lately?
There are a lot of memes in recent years that literally don’t mean anything. They are just statements that young people repeat soley because not repeating it means you’re left out. 6-7 is one such meme.
It’s not really any different from other trends, it’s just that usually you can at least see why a trend caught on to begin with. Thus your confusion.
FYI one can clearly see why 67 caught on.
That doot doot six seven song -> NBA stars saying it on tiktok -> Everyone else trying to catch clout by saying it too -> It’s now a meme
No different than how other trends caught on, as you pointed out.

tl;dr nothing meaningful. popularized by gen alpha children
Kids being kids. It’ll fade away when they find something else equally stupid.

Its internet brain rot
It’s just a meme without any deeper meaning. Laugh or ignore and move on.
Oh I ain’t worried about it or anything, just curious really.
Except it’s disrupting some fast food chains that have a menu item #67. For some, it’s possibly costing them revenue and harassing workers. Sadly it’s not something they can necessarily just laugh at or ignore.
Don’t know why you’re being downvoted. Some of the more recent memes have been very disruptive. Between the McDonald’s Szechuan sauce freak outs and Minecraft’s Chicken Jockey food fights it causes a lot of headaches for the poor people who have to clean up their mess. I’m not aware of any violent reactions to this number yet though.
It’s not even that. They removed ticket #67, so it goes 66, 68,70 (because they removed 69 also). The order that people place their orders in
Even so, businesses wouldn’t just get rid of something, they’d renumber it
No 69? Not nice
Couldn’t they just change the menu so item 67 is something very high profit margin and not subject to supply problems? Doesn’t seem like a real problem.
I’m not sure if kids were placing orders and then not collecting/paying for them.
This is like the lamest target for a moral panic I’ve ever seen. And I was around for the d&d and video game ones.
How many restaurants even have 67 or more menu items that you can select by number? This seems like a very niche ‘problem’ for the news to be concerned over
The way I read is that it isn’t (or not only) about menu item number 67, but about order number 67 (i.e. the 67th order since the counter was reset).
Oh no a worker had to listen to a kid make a lame overused joke. Those poor people.
Wow look at you being all smart and clever. The pictures I saw showed a fast food restaurant with a crowd of kids, not just one.
Sorry that was needlessly snipy of me.
It’s just that feels like being exposed to obnoxious social trends is a very minor issue for workers.
We’ve all been there.
The horror. Quick, get me some pearls to clutch.
You can borrow mine…
That’s the only reason I even heard about the whole 67 thing, when it came up on our local news regarding fast food restaurants.
It’s ridiculous, and honestly I feel like I’ve wasted minutes from my life even asking, but hey, now I loosely get it…
It still makes little sense to me, but whatever 🤷
I admit I find it amusing, given what 6x7 is
It means nothing, except that the meaninglessness of it annoys boomers, so the zoomers and alphas keep doing it to annoy the boomers harder. It’s literally that simple
It’s 2 short of “nice”
It’s supposed to mean nothing.
67? Internet meme that I’m too old to get.
69? Hehehehehehe!
68? That’s like 69, except you give her one, and she owes you one.
Hm, I thought 68 was the speed of sex.
I like to think that its a subconscious offshoot of the “why was six afraid of 7? Because 7 8 9” joke for the modern generation showcasing how the current short attention span brain rot humor contrast against previous with all punchline and no buildup.
If you understand the pointlessness of Boaty McBoatface, it’s the same thing.
I’ll take your word on that, I already feel like I wasted enough minutes of life even bothering to look into this nonsense…
About 6 or 7 minutes, yeah.
🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
