While Checkers Sixty60 is mostly loved by the little ones, it seems there is no age limit to its fans. A TikTok video showed a grey-haired man wearing the teal-coloured onesie, entertaining the masses.
On 8 October, 2025, the account @mr.60.sixty uploaded a video of the older 'uniformed' fan holding a mini shopping basket with groceries while wearing the brand's toy helmet.
The person behind the keyboard shared with humour and laughter:
"This is our crazy dad. Please show him some love and make him go viral. He is an avid Checkers shopper and could possibly be applying for the next Checkers Sixty60 role."
