The initial stretch goals for the potato salad Kickstarter include: making four times the potato salad ($35); holding a pizza party ($75); and trying two different potato salad recipes ($100). Afterwards, Brown started a set of more ambitious goals for the potato salad Kickstarter project such as using better mayonnaise and live streaming the salad-making process.
Reports say the potato salad Kickstarter project became viral because of the social link-sharing site reddit, where Brown is an active member.
On Sunday, CTV News reports that Brown hosted an "Ask Me Anything" session to answer any questions people might have including "Why?" to "Will there be onions in it?"
He said in the AmA, 'I never thought it would go this far. $10 seemed like a good, conservative goal. I think the people are responding to the opportunity to come together around something equal parts absurd and mundane. Potato Salad isn't controversial, but it seems to unite us all.'
Meanwhile, while Brown is extremely happy and content with the success of his potato salad Kickstarter project, others are upset and not a big fan of the project.
User greywizard77 said on a related reddit thread, 'I can't even raise the money to complete a 4-year degree and this guy gets 23k for a bowl of potato salad... I feel dead inside.'
User Equeon added, 'I feel terrible for all the legitimate Kickstarter projects that just barely fell short of their couple hundred or a few thousand dollars.'
As of the current moment, Brown is offering plenty of potato salad-themed incentives for the backers of his potato salad Kickstarter project. These include a potato salad haiku for $20 pledgers and a spot on the dedication page of his potato salad recipe book for pledges of $50 or more. There is also something for $1 pledgers. Brown's potato salad Kickstarter site says, 'You will get a 'thank you' posted to our website and I will say your name out loud while making the potato salad.'
Brown potato salad Kickstarter may seem innocent and risk-free, but Brown has warned that there might be a risk with his potato salad Kickstarter project. He wrote on the page, 'It might not be that good. It's my first potato salad.'
