Yes they have done that for quite a while. Here is a little information on it.
In-N-Out prints discreet references to Bible verses on their paper utensils. The print is small and out of the way, and only contains the book, chapter and verse numbers, not the actual text of the passages. The practice began in the 1980s during Rich Snyder's presidency,[26] a reflection of the Christian beliefs held by the Snyder family.

Revelation 3:20—"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."[27]

John 3:16—"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."[28]

It started out way back in 1650 when James Ussher, the Archbishop of Armagh published this little thing called the Ussher Chronology, which used the Bible's accounting of history to date creation to about 4004 BC. It stuck. From that time on, evangelical types have believed the story, sort of like a bad urban legend. The kind that gets people hurt. The thing is, ole Archie was wrong. See, he got the dating right up until Adam and Eve, but assumed they were only in the Garden of Eden for maybe a few months. But if you read the first two chapters of Genesis for yourself, you can see that other than the first 6 days of creation, there is absolutely no indication how long they walked with God in the Garden. It could have been a week or 6 million years, we don't know. We do know that up until the point they ate of the Tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil they would not die. Eating of the tree was punishable ... "for surely you will die". We know they didn't die right away, they died natural deaths ... point being they weren't going to die before they ate the fruit. In my mind, creation did happen in 6 days, just like God said, and then evolution happened all around while Adam and Eve stayed tucked in a safe place. Otherwise, why build a garden with walls in a world you've just created?
