Title: Man Raises $23,000 on Kickstarter to Make a Bowl of Potato Salad Post by: epere on July 08, 2014, 07:26:51 AM This opens the floodgates. Kickstarter is going to be filled with copycats now, hoping to get a quick buck.

Title: Re: Man Raises $23,000 on Kickstarter to Make a Bowl of Potato Salad Post by: iopq on July 08, 2014, 07:59:54 AM I found an article about this
http://www.polygon.com/2014/7/7/5876971/kickstarter-potato-salad-crowdfunding According to the article, there are a lot of legit kickstarter projects that are nowhere near as compelling as this one. Although the project itself was stupid, it did everything right: -Clear goal, and interesting (well, funny anyway) story -Clear benefit to backers (silly fun and/or eating potato salad is a benefit) -No self-important nonsense Lots and lots of kickstarters are basically "fund this because I wanna do it" which is not a good reason. This one was "fund this for the lulz and/or you get to eat potato salad" which is a plenty good reason.

They should make their money useful by supporting legit projects. I'm sure it was more than just an attempt to make potato salad. It was probably a university project about social engineering or something.

The potato salad is a one off joke, wouldn't repeat again ;D Surprisingly the joke ones are on the rise, just ridiculous to look at this really. They would be better of making ice-cream IMHO.Seriously people love wasting their money "even if it's just few cents".

But i think its funny ;D
