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?

    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

      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.

      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 🤷

        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

      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).

      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.
