Zack Brown, a computer programmer from Columbus, Ohio, had a spare 15 minutes, and decided to put it to good use by setting up a joke Kickstarter page to raise money to help him make potato salad. It stated fairly simply: "Basically I'm just making potato salad. I haven't decided what kind yet." In return for a cash pledge he offered to send a photo of himself making the salad to his backers, post a thank you to the website, and to say the name of the person making the donation aloud.

He set a goal of $10, but he was in for a shock.
