Meet the TikTokers raking in cash by eating in their CARS

By William On Apr 1, 2023

These TikTokers are literally at the helm.

A fleet of American foodies have taken the social media platform by storm, posting candid clips of themselves eating meals in their cars.

Some of the most popular TikTokers earn more than $2,000 per post – according to DailyMail.com’s calculations via Influencer Marketing Hub – meaning they have the potential to rake in around $60,000 per month from the outlandish videos.

And Los Angeles-based Shari Dyonne, who has more than 945,000 followers on TikTok, is one such content creator who regularly records herself doing taste tests in her vehicle.

One of her most popular car-eating videos — which has been viewed more than 4.9 million times to date — shows her feasting on a Popeyes “combo,” with three jars of mac and cheese and a few saucy-looking nuggets

In one of hers recent postsShari films herself trying fast food restaurant In-N-Out for the first time, while tucking into a Double Double Animal Style burger, complete with homemade fry sauce, caramelized onions, and a mustard-grilled patty.

She washes it down with a big cup of Lemon Up – the fast food restaurant’s special blend of pink lemonade and 7Up – which she finds “very exciting” and “very sparkling.”

Some of Shari’s other TikTok pit stops included Wingstop, where she ate boneless wings with half Louisiana rub and half hot honey, and Chipotle, where she tried the steak quesadilla with fajita veggies.

And she is believed to be handsomely rewarded for her efforts.

Mandy West, from Florida, is another TikTok user who regularly dines in her car.

The brunette, who uses the handle @eatdrinkbemandycurrently has over 208,000 followers and over 5.8 million likes.

One of her most viewed videos — with over 1.2 million views — shows her trying the Cheesecake Factory’s new fire-roasted corn ribs with parmesan cheese.

She gives her verdict and says, “This is so good, the corn is like sweet, buttery, the Parmesan.”

“I wouldn’t be mad if it had more of the chipotle lime mayo on it — just personal preference — but home run, absolutely delicious.”

In an effort to maximize her TikTok earnings, Mandy can be seen in some of her clips promoting products, with discount codes being offered to viewers.

Creator Dao (@daostp) also likes to eat in his car.

The TikToker’s account mainly shows him standing still behind the wheel while eating.

One of his favorite eateries seems to be Wingstop, and numerous clips show him tucking into parts of wings.

In one video, while munching on the outlet’s popular Cajun fries, he tells viewers, “I don’t think you can ever have enough Wingstop.”

One of Crystal Lara’s most viewed clips sees her eating wings from Wingstop from the comfort of her car (left), while a clip of her eating an apple didn’t get much attention

Texas-based Wingstop seems to be a hugely popular spot among TikTokers, with bits from the restaurant getting millions of likes.

Self-proclaimed food lover Crystal Lara (@crystalxlaraa) is mainly seen rustling up meals at home, but one of her most viewed clips sees her eating Wingstop wings from the comfort of her car.

In the 58-second clip, which has more than 2.6 million views, she doesn’t say a single word.

For starters, she shows viewers her fries before turning the camera on herself eating the wings.

In a later TikTok, Crystal filmed herself eating a peanut butter apple in the car and joked, “I just want to see if healthy eating goes viral on camera.”

To prove her point — that fast food gets the most traction — her “healthy eating” TikTok only got a little over 6,000 views.

How to grow your followers on TikTok

Here are top tips for growing your TikTok account:

Understand your audience: You should start by asking why people would want to follow you. What do you offer that thousands of other accounts don’t?

Perfect your profile: Your profile should emphasize your identity as a creator. It should show your intended audience why they should subscribe to your page. The type of videos you want to share should be obvious to anyone viewing your profile.

Follow the basic rules and conventions: You must ensure that you do not violate TikTok’s content guidelines. There should be nothing inappropriate in your videos; no hate speech, racism, etc. Also, like Snapchat and IGTV, the convention on TikTok is to upload vertical videos. The ideal aspect ratio is 1080×1920.

Produce consistent content: You want to establish a consistent pattern so your audience knows what to expect. Ideally, you want all of your niche-themed videos to have the same look and feel.

Engage with your audience: Don’t forget to communicate with your viewers. Make sure to respond to comments people leave on your videos. It may seem like hard work, but it makes your followers believe you care and pay attention to them.

Promote your TikTok videos on other social channels: Promote your videos on your other social channels and also on your blog if you have one. The more people know about your content, the more people will view and like it.
