Potato Salad: I'm at a loss of words

I really freakin' wish I could have thought to be this genius........

Ummm so this guy made a kickstarter, as a joke, to make some potato salad.

He was asking for $10.



Here are his stretch goals:



$35 - I will make 4x as much Potato Salad. I know $40 isn't 4x $10, but you guys have earned it.



$75 - Pizza Party!



$100 - I will try two different Potato Salad recipes.



After he had earned $100...



He made new stretch goals:



$250 - Better mayonnaise (from the natural foods section)



$300 - Call a chef to get a better recipe



$350 - Make way more potato salad and probably do a third recipe.



After getting over $350 to make potato salad...



New stretch goals:



$1000: I'll do a live stream of the potato salad making



$1200: I'll pay someone to film a thank-you video for all of my backers!



After blowing $1000 out of the water...again...to make potato salad



$3000: My kitchen is too small! I will rent out a party hall and invite
the whole internet to the potato salad party (only $10 and above will be
allowed in the kitchen)! The internet loves potato salad! Let's show
them that potato salad loves the internet!!



There has not been a new update since, however, he has reached an ASTONISHING



$53,253
Edit: had a typo, sorry!


To make freakin' potato salad...



Goddammit, we could all have 13s by now guys!

I saw this today as well. Amazing. $53,294 that could have been used on something actually useful.

Did you buy one on behalf of your gf too? ;)

And also, where's Ryan?

Maybe he could throw in a few thousand dollars to balance it out by funding the kickstarter of the guy making coleslaw :D

I keed, I keed :p
