Helms Bakery Closure Marks End of an Era for Iconic Los Angeles Institution

Helms Bakery Closure Marks End of an Era for Iconic Los Angeles Institution

Helms Bakery, a historic Los Angeles establishment, is set to close its doors this weekend after a brief revival. Originally founded in 1931 by Paul Helms, the bakery became famous for its door-to-door delivery service. The bakery was reimagined and reopened in late 2024 by restaurateur Sang Yoon, who aimed to revive its legacy with modern offerings. Despite initial enthusiasm, the bakery struggled with financial viability due to inconsistent sales, rising costs, and external economic pressures. The closure is part of a broader trend of restaurant shutdowns in Los Angeles, exacerbated by recent natural disasters and economic downturns affecting consumer spending.

In-N-Out Burger Removes '67' from Ordering System Due to Viral '6-7' Meme

In-N-Out Burger has decided to remove the number 67 from its ordering system in response to disruptions caused by the viral '6-7' meme. This meme, which originated from the song 'Doot Doot (6 7)' by rapper Skrilla, features the repeated lyric 'six-seven' and has become popular among young people. The meme is also associated with NBA star LaMelo Ball's height of 6-foot-7. The trend has led to pranksters frequently waiting for the number 67 to be called in In-N-Out locations, prompting the chain to skip from 66 to 68 in their order numbering. This change was confirmed by an employee at a Los Angeles location and was further evidenced by a video on social media showing an employee explaining the removal to a customer.
