6-7 isn't just for the classroom anymore. Now you can find the popular meme in the frozen aisle. Perdue Farms, one of the largest meat processing companies in the United States, is cooking up new chicken nuggets in the shape of sixes and sevens.
Why? Who cares? Even Perdue itself is poking fun at the release of its latest impulsive project. "Yes, the kids who started it may have moved on," begins a press release on Perdue Farms's corporate website, "but if you have a Gen Alpha at home, you know: it's still everywhere."
Unlike the innocuous yet otherwise irritating phrase, the chicken nuggets won't be everywhere. Perdue is partnering with Walmart for an exclusive limited edition release that is set to hit select shelves May 1.

“We figured if it was going to show up at mealtime anyway, it might as well be on the plate," said SVP of Digital & E-Commerce Marketing Chris Perdue, "and if it happens to buy you six to seven minutes of sweet silence at the dinner table, we’ll take that as a win.”
The conversation starter chicken nuggets will be available at a suggested retail price of $7.24 in 3,000 Walmart stores around the country. Like its traditionally-shaped nuggets, the 6-7 variety will be panko-breaded and made with 100% all-natural white meat chicken.
Perhaps fortunately for some parents, the Perdue press release says that the "cringe" marketing move will occur only "while supplies last." Only a limited amount of bags will be provided to participating retailers at this time.
The Maryland-based company is giving away 67 bags before the product hits shelves in a few weeks. Fans of the brand can enter to win a free bag of 67 nuggets until April 27.
