      Last year, kids were saying “6, 7” for no particular reason; it was just a schoolyard meme. Old people like me started saying it. It wasn’t cool anymore because old people aren’t cool. This snack company is trying to ride the hottest trend about twelve months too late.

    I showed this to my 12 year old child and he gave me the most dramatic eyeroll and said: “Yeeeeahh. Gen alpha has some dumb stuff.” lol

    You’re buying shaped chicken nuggets. You’ve already surrendered your dignity. There are no “Heroes of Civil Rights” chicken nuggets…

    I had to double check and make sure that wasn’t the exact image I took this weekend at Aldi and shared with a couple of friends (it wasn’t). Real friends don’t steal karma that would rightfully have been mine. My kids would have died from extreme eye rolling trauma if I had brought those home from the store.

    Y’all just haters, 67 is just another example of one generation finding and creating their own internet humor, then having every other generation bash on them for it.

    Sure it’s a bit cringey, but let the kids have their fun. Internet humor doesn’t have to be so gatekeepy. We had things like 21 from vine and 2+2 is 4. If you look further than number based memes, then there’s been a bunch of nonsensical memes like 🅱️

      I was at a gathering and someone who is an English teacher said “yeah the 6 7 is so annoying but I can’t complain much; the entire maths department is in great distress.” I couldn’t help myself but the deadpan tone of the delivery just absolutely floored me.

      I think I can shed light on the 6 7 hate. To do so though, I need to cover why people are okay with the others. 420 and 69 have been around for ages so they get a pass for being grandfathered and having transgressive origins. Quick maths (2+2 is 4, minus 1 that’s 3) got its fame for being an incredibly stupid thing to say in the middle of a rap while also simultaneously going way too hard for how silly it sounds. Lastly you have 21, which was a vine meme so again, a more grounded and community based origin.

      What makes 6 7 stand out is that it’s from the British school system, and British culture sucks.

      I rest my case.

      I, a mid fifties uncle, dropped a 6 7 reference to my sister whilst my teenaged niece was nearby and got a laugh out of her. Worth it. Embrace the cringe.

        I’m genuinely surprised it annoys anyone tbh, it’s just a couple of numbers. I laugh when my kids catch me and be as cringey as I can with it at every opportunity. Good harmless fun I can exploit for years to come.

    Typically I’m against poisoning food, and especially food intended for children. However, I am willing to accept that everything is circumstantial, and that there can be good exceptions to all rules.
