Okay, but… getting this for my tweenage daughter just to watch her slowly die of cringe would be so worth it.

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

Hi dad, is that you? Are you planning to come home with the milk anytime soon?
kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
You know your dad is never coming home.

Oh good. This means it’s almost over.

Finally, corpos are adopting the meme. They will make it cringe enough to kill it off while milking the corpse dry.
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
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.
fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 2 weeks ago
Is that really a plot line in car commercials these days? I’ve got to see some examples because that’s pretty crazy

Purdue made these as well and I got them to annoy my friends who despise the meme… And my oven’s heating element died in protest 😂
db2@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
You have to set it to 420 to reset
yucandu@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Purdue… are they the ones I keep hearing about in the news selling poison chicken and killing their workers? I’m Canadian so our chicken is slightly less poison.

Be a lot cheaper to manufacture “69” nuggets. Pick the right font and you’d only need one shape
Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 weeks ago
Can also use Star Wars to brand them as “Order 66” nuggets.
pulsey@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
imagine the disappointment when you only get 6’s in your package 😐
HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
Just call em Quotes and make em 6’s
You may ask why not 9s? Well it’s because 7 8 9
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago

Hum, look like 69 nuggets with a bunch of L for loser nuggets thrown in for the kids.

Somehow 66% less protein than real chicken

Don’t you mean …67% ?
okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
No, why wou-- oh ffs
Baguette@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
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 🅱️
Dingo_Kidneys@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
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.

StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
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.
BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
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.

ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
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 thought the fun of six seven was getting everyone else to bash them for it.
betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I was going to try those but there must’ve been some mix-up at the packaging facility because the bag only had 9s and Ls.
ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Am I missing a reference there’s like three of these comments?
betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
No, I posted mine a minute or two after the first one. It wasn’t there when I started writing but after commenting, I refreshed the page and saw that I’d been beaten to the joke.

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

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
zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
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.

This is exactly why it’s objectively a stupid meme. 69 and 420 are funny because they are subversive. If you saw those numbers you know it was culture because the boomer mainstream wouldn’t be marketing sex and drugs to kids, at least not this directly.
nullspace@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
How dare these kids have a meme number. They should only love my meme number.
ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
They drew a real kid to sell their product. Cringe aside that’s not cool, like even if they pay him
yucandu@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Is that why the brand name is “Soulless Kitchen”?
