While the short-form video app has provided countless dances, sounds, and other various trends, it also helps change the lives of creators in various other ways as well. In October 2020 we saw \u2018Doggface\u2019 receive a new truck when the juice company Ocean Spray noticed him after a video of him drinking their cranberry juice while skateboarding down the road went viral. Now, TikToker Kyle Scheele has gained popularity after posting a gigantic cardboard cutout of himself inside of a Kum & Go gas station advertising \u201cThe Kyle Scheele Meal\u201d which quickly caught the eye of the company who decided it wasn\u2019t a bad idea. The Kyle Scheele Meal In his first video regarding the prank, Scheele explained that he went into a local newly-built Kum & Go gas station and noticed a cardboard image that he wanted, so he asked if he could have it. Much to his amusement, Kyle learned that the store employees don\u2019t have any control over things placed inside the store, so he immediately went home with the idea of creating his own cutout marketing something he\u2019s always wanted\u2014his own influencer meal. After the help of two friends, one being a photographer and the other conveniently owning a print shop, Kyle realized that he had accidentally made his image nine feet tall. However, he didn\u2019t let that hold him back as he still went ahead with the plan to place it in the store.
