A fleet of US-based foodies have taken the social media platform by storm by posting candid clips of themselves eating meals in their cars.
Some of the most popular TikTokers make more than $2,000 per post – according to DailyMail.com’s calculations via Influencer Marketing Hub – which means they have the potential to rake in around $60,000 a month from the bizarre 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.

Offering her verdict, she says: ‘This is so good, the corn is like sweet, buttery, the parmesan cheese.
‘I wouldn’t be mad if there was more of the chipotle lime mayo on there – just personal preference – but home run, definitely delicious.’
In a bid to maximize her TikTok earnings, Mandy can be seen promoting products in some of her clips, with discount codes on offer to viewers.

One of Crystal Lara’s most-watched clips sees her eating wings from Wingstop from the comfort of her car (left) whereas a clip of her eating an apple didn’t get as much traction
Texas-headquartered Wingstop appears to be a hugely popular spot among TikTokers, with morsels from the diner garnering millions of likes.
Self-proclaimed food-lover Crystal Lara (@crystalxlaraa) is mainly seen rustling up meals at home but one of her most-watched clips sees her eating wings from Wingstop from the comfort of her car.
In the 58-seond-long clip, which has more than 2.6 million views, she does not say a single word.
To start with she shows viewers her fries before turning the camera on herself as she eats the wings.
In a later TikTok, Crystal filmed herself eating an apple with peanut butter on in the car and joked ‘I just want to see if eating healthy on camera will go viral.’
Proving her point – that fast food items gain the most traction – her ‘healthy eating’ TikTok only garnered just over 6,000 views.
