Unless you’re not particularly the TikTok type, you’ve definitely seen Jordan the Stallion around. But even still, any Instagram users or Facebook scrollers will have second-hand experience watching his videos, which often go viral effortlessly. Currently sitting at north of 2M followers on Instagram and 10M on TikTok, Jordan Howlett has grown himself a large and faithful fanbase. The 26-year-old TikTok sensation was born in Oceanside, CA, and typically uploaded comedic reaction videos before using his newfound fame to share life and food hacks.
Howlett describes himself as a social media influencer and someone with an interest in data analytics. One of his latest fast-food secrets targeted McDonald’s french fries, which he revealed as being cooked in beef flavoring mixed with regular oil, and that’s bad news for vegetarians. Fret not — any vegetarians in the U.K., Canada, and Australia are safe according to Jordan, who states that only the U.S. does this.
In one of his latest Instagram posts, Howlett tries out In-N-Out Burger’s secret menu items, namely the tomato-wrapped burger and onion-wrapped burger. Despite never liking tomatoes and trying one for the last time five years ago, Howlett (who calls himself “President of the Fast Food Secrets Club”) ended up rating the tomato-wrapped burger highly, but it was the onion-wrapped burger that turned out to be the dark horse.
Jordan the Stallion began posting content to his TikTok in May 2020, around the time when COVID-19 was still running rampant across the United States and the rest of the world. Howlett grew up in Oceanside with his parents and his siblings, a brother named Eli and a sister named Gina.
Along with his TikTok and Instagram, Jordan also has a YouTube channel, which has accumulated 2.44M subscribers across 400-plus videos. Following the Grimace milkshake trend overtaking TikTok, if you’re left wondering what exactly the flavor of the drink could be, Jordan has that covered for you.
