Dan Doperalski—Penske Media/Getty Images Over the last five years, Jordan Howlett—better known as “Jordan the Stallion,” in a playful nod to the rapper Megan—has amassed more than 31 million followers across [TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@jordan%5Fthe%5Fstallion8?lang=en "undefined"), [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/jordan%5Fthe%5Fstallion8/?hl=en "undefined"), and [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@jordan%5Fthe%5Fstallion8 "undefined") by sharing fast food secrets with a side of humor.In his clips,the former Division I baseball player—who overcame mental health challenges and homelessness to become a social media star—capitalizes on his years working in the industry. The 27-year-old often films himself in the bathroom mirror, revealing the types of things fast-food joints don’t want their customers to know. Wearing his signature reading glasses and often holding a leather-bound notebook, he plays the role of fast-food sage, divulging confidential tips (like how to get half-price pizzas at Domino’s) or intel (like how to make Olive Garden’s alfredo sauce). Tonally, Howlett has a certain flair for the dramatic; his impeccable timing has helped him land guest stars like actor Michael B. Jordan, comedian Kevin Hart, and rapper and actor Donald Glover, to whom he bears a striking resemblance. One could argue the self-proclaimed president of the “Fast Food Secrets Club” is doing a public service and there is even a [website](https://www.fastfoodsecrets.club/ "undefined") dedicated to the insights he’s revealed over the years. _Data and insights powered by #paid_ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-creators-2025/7299139/jordan-howlett/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-creators-2025/7299139/jordan-howlett/"},"headline":"Jordan Howlett","datePublished":"2025-07-09T11:34:28.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-03T00:50:56.949Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/collections/time100-creators-2025/7299139/jordan-howlett/","keywords":["Social Media","list","franchise","Magazine","Special Project","sponsorshipblock","Accolades"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd5d28ad0c5021836/6998c81c93610c3b5cc2fcb1/TIME100-Creators-2025-Jordan-Howlett-075.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Shannon Carlin","jobTitle":"Carlin is a contributor for TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/shannon-carlin/"}],"creator":"Shannon Carlin","articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd5d28ad0c5021836/6998c81c93610c3b5cc2fcb1/TIME100-Creators-2025-Jordan-Howlett-075.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-creators-2025/7299139/jordan-howlett/","name":"Jordan Howlett"}}]}] ```
