Kickstarter Shares Social Stats for $55,492 Potato Salad

The bizarre success of Zach Brown’s Potato Salad Kickstarter had the entire Internet scratching digital heads: $55,498 to help one man make the lowly potato salad. More importantly, that’s $55,488 more than the original project goal of $10. That’s 6,911 Kickstarter backers willing to help Brown make any ol’ potato salad.
