Taylor established a huge following on TikTok, with 1.7 million followers and 328 million likes, and entertained the masses by sharing fun clips of himself eating nostalgic foods.

The social media star often put his wild meals on top of a VHS tape for an extra trip down memory lane.

But Taylor wasn’t new to social media fame, as he had been sharing content on YouTube for the past 16 years and also managed to gain an audience on Instagram, where he has over 105,000 followers.
