Jimothy in a nutshell.

You forgot the middle step. When parents discover it and ruin it, then its companies trying to profit off of it.

Not representative of reality; brand is too cute

So in this case it’s a good thing

Do it. Report back.

Shout it out while dropping her off at school or with friends.

Be relentless.

I considering buying these to mess with my kids, but it would have been a declaration of war.

I got a 67 tshirt at walmart

But the brilliant part is that they aren't selling this shit to kids, they are selling it to parents and there's an extra dynamic of parent trying to make kid happy and kid probably picking up on that and acting happy to please the parent, resulting in the parent buying it more times when neither of them really care about it.

It's insidious and reminds me of those car commercials where they are marketing "a new car will make your teenagers want to spend time with the family instead of their friends" instead of trying to sell the car itself.

You have to set it to 420 to reset

Mom, what's 69?

Mom: ask your dad

Dad: ask your mom.

The aristocrats.

Can also use Star Wars to brand them as "Order 66" nuggets. Or Get Smart with "Agent 99" nuggets.

imagine the disappointment when you only get 6's in your package 😐

Just call em Quotes and make em 6's

You may ask why not 9s? Well it's because 7 8 9

Darkard beat us to it.

Don't you mean ...67% ?

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.

666777

It is subvertive, just against the 420/69 culture. It's an anti-joke that only works because 69 was already a huge meme. You're too close to the source material to appreciate that their joke number is at least as good as ours. Plus bonus points because it serves the function of trolling older people in retaliation for all the vague "you'll understand when you're older" they probably got each time they asked about why older people thought 420 or 69 was funny.

The kids are alright. I don't expect them to solve this shit any better than we did, but I expect that there will be some pretty good memes as humanity barrels closer to extinction, collapse, or serfdom (or some combination of those).
