I got myself
- a Nahum 1:7
- a Revelation 3:20 with cheese
- two Proverbs 24:16s
- two John 3:16s
- and a Chocolate Proverbs 3:5.
“What?!” you ask. “I’m all too aware of In-N-Out’s ‘Secret menu’ and have heard of a 4×4 and even a mythical 20×20, but what is a Nahum 1:7?!”
In-N-Out aficionados have probably noticed that the company prints references to Bible verses with just the book, chapter, and verse on their burger wrappers, fry containers, and on the bottom of their cups, so why not order this way as well?
For those not in-the-know, here’s the “translation” to help make your next meal more religious than it already was:
Products and Bible Verses
-
Burger and cheeseburger wrappers:
-
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Revelation 3:20 -
In-N-Out Burger Wrapper with bible verse Revelation 3:20
-
-
Beverage cups:
-
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16 -
In-N-Out soda cup with bible verse John 3:16
-
-
Milkshake cups:
-
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Proverbs 3:5 -
In-N-Out shake cup with bible verse Proverbs 3:5
-
-
Double-Double wrapper:
-
The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.
Nahum 1:7 -
In-N-Out Double Double Burger Wrapper with bible verse Nahum 1:7
-
-
Fry container:
-
For though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again, but the wicked are brought down by calamity.
Proverbs 24:16 -
In-N-Out French Fries with bible verse Proverbs 24:16
-
I’ll note a few interesting things:
- The verse for the hamburger is about dining together with others – this is always important.
- If you substitute the product the wrappers contain for the words “Lord,” “God,” and “Son,” there is certain sense of poetic verisimilitude in the new verses: their shakes apparently have a heavenly thickness, the double-double sounds like it will fill you up, and the sugary sodas will give you everlasting life. I wonder what would happen if we transubstantiated a hamburger bun?
Animal Style Anyone?
Now if only there were a special chapter and verse for getting my burger “animal style!”
Genesis 7:2 perhaps?
Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
This might be far preferable to Exodus 22:19:
Whoever lies with an animal shall be put to death.
But let’s be honest, with all the fat, salt, sugar, and cholesterol in a good-ol’ traditional #1, I’m going to die sooner than later whether it comes animal style or not.
I’m curious how many In-N-Out employees know their product so well that they can take orders this way?
Thanks for reading this comment, I found this video showing some of the verses found on packaging at In-N-Out Burger:

Have a great day! >
In a very rare move in January 2018, In-N-Out added a new item to their sparse menu: hot cocoa. As part of their roll out and for marketing purposes, they serve free hot cocoa on rainy days to children under 12 years old.
A few years back, I had written about the bible verses that In-N-Out “hides” on their product packaging. I remember hearing about the hot cocoa addition to the menu when it was initially released, but had forgotten about the bible verses until I had the occasion to visit on a recent rainy day.
So to complete the enlarged canon, here are the details for the bible verse found on In-N-Out’s hot cocoa cup.
Products and Bible Verses (continued)
Hot Cocoa:
John 13:34
In-N-Out Hot Cocoa Cup with a reference to bible verse John 13:34
Notes
This certainly seems an appropriate verse to put on a product that they give away on rainy days. And who doesn’t love commandments involving hot cocoa?! I do notice that the verse isn’t hidden underneath the cup, like it is on the soda cups, but instead it’s front and center in relatively larger bold font on the side of the cup.
If one takes my prior call to replace the deity references with the product, then we’ll know that everyone who loves one another is a disciple of hot cocoa. They’re also likely to avoid improper microwave use too.
