Like other poorly-planned Kickstarter projects, this project is now facing some serious scalability issues. It's a victim of it's own success.<p>The project leader has to fit 20 people in his kitchen, and say more than 1,000 names while making the potato salad. He has to accept ingredient suggestions from hundreds of people. And he has to give a bit of the potato salad to hundreds more. If he does achieve that, by hiring a venue, and additional temporary staff, and making some sort of mega-salad, then people are probably going to complain that they wanted a normal salad, in his kitchen. I doubt they've thought about hygiene issues, health and safety, licensing, crowd control, etc.<p>It's a disaster in the making.
For $25, you can buy a "I (heart) Potato Salad" hat[1] which appears to infringe on the tightly enforced[2] "I (heart) NY" trademark.<p>____<p>[1] <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/i_love_potato_salad_mesh_hat-148005376484063142" rel="nofollow">http://www.zazzle.com/i_love_potato_salad_mesh_hat-148005376...</a><p>[2] <a href="http://iheartguts.com/extra-special-guts/" rel="nofollow">http://iheartguts.com/extra-special-guts/</a> (via <a href="http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/episode-87-i-heart-ny-tm/" rel="nofollow">http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/episode-87-i-heart-ny-...</a>)
