The number 69 has staying power. It was hardly new when it was used in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, and that was in 1989, 37 years ago.
How long will 6-7 last? I'm guessing not more than a year. I bet even now it's being included as part of a script for a kids' movie, and by the time the movie comes out the kids will all think it's "cringe" (or whatever term replaces cringe).
67 doesn't require the horny brain that is needed for 69. It's the same level of amusement but becuase there is no sexual connection it can be understood more widely and also cannot be shamed in silence.
69 made me initially wonder how sexual 67 was and why kids were laughing at another inappropriate sex number.
Learning It's NOT a sex number, and honestly has no meaning at all, puts my non-horny brain firmly on Team 67. It's just a giant innocent in-joke. I love it.
The numbers that are there are 66,68,69 ,70 and 71.
This means the number 67 is sold out.
In the past, the number that would be sold was 69 because it's a sexual euphemism.
Currently, 67 (specifically , 6-7) is a meme amongst young people, so I hear online. I live outside of wherever this meme is happening, and/or my child is too small for memes.
My wife works at an elementary school and keeps doing it, then apologizing and saying she's on autopilot and I believe her. When I see my mother she does it to annoy me as is her right as matriarch. Right when they're done doing it, I'm gonna start omg it is so stupid.

Putting Gen Z slang in a movie, especially a bad one, is one of the known ways of killing it overnight.

Putting young-person slang in a movie has been a bad idea since before Gen Z existed.

It’s not too crazy. It was replaced by children young enough to not know why 69 is a funny number. Like, they have no reason to laugh at it.

I found a search result that matched from 2013 facebook, but what the thing is there the 69 sign is sold out instead.

my 11 year old relative is obsessed with 6-7
it's funny to get them laughing by being overly silly about anything that comes near a time when 6&7 might come into play
