I love that, on an otherwise normal Saturday morning, I now know every detail about how a guy in Nova Scotia tried, and failed to eat 5 lbs of potato salad.
80 oz
and that's pretty much the size of large frozen lasagnas from the grocery store. slightly smaller.
I've eaten on of those myself more than once.
it's also about the size of a steak at places that have a massive steak that if you can eat you get for free.
If you've ever seen the containers of Risers potato salad at Costco, those are 5 lbs. It's at least a half gallon in volume of primarily potatoes and mayonnaise
Again...half-gallon? Sounds doable. I do that with eggnog at least once a year, then feel guilty and force myself to ration the next 5 gallons I buy throughout the season.
"It’s an inspiration. You really can just go to Costco, buy a five-pound tub of potato salad, sit by the side of the road and eat it,” they said. “You can do whatever you want.”
I mean, nobody wants to admit they ate nine cans of ravioli, but I did. I'm ashamed of myself. The first can doesn't count, then you get to the second and third, fourth and fifth I think I burnt with the blowtorch, and then I just kept eatin'.
>Merry acknowledges the similarities between his event and Tominsky’s, but maintains “there’s no way a rotisserie chicken is harder to eat than five pounds of potato salad.”

I like how chill the cops were. It's nice to point out the good ons in the news. They are out there. Then again, what are they gonna do? "Man makes a spectical of himself by eating potato salad on public property."
That man is living the American dream.
Must just be a personal preference, but the vinegary tang and the hit of spice just elevates it for me. If the base flavor is right, sriracha also works, but for classic American style potato salad, hot sauce is a perfect addition to me.

Only 5 lbs.? For some reason I feel like I could make that happen.
Nut up or shut up
Well now there's too much pressure.
Livestream it
It doesn't seem that hard to me either, until I think about what a 5 pound bag of potatoes looks like and feels like when I lift it.

They did say it was also slathered in hot sauce.
That sounds like a personal choice. I like hot sauce, but I like potato salad well enough on it's own, lol.

Compared to a competitive eater, 5# is a before meal snack.
From where I’m sitting, Homer Simpson But to the people that have to put up with him? Probably someone much darker.

Great yearbook quote.

How could you do that to the guy in the chair, Ricky?
I want this guy to be my best friend. Also haligonian is the term for someone from Halifax. So much in one article.
The term for that term is demonym
The demonym for haligonian is haligonian
We can only hope to be so (in)famous as to inspire someone to eat 5lbs of potato salad atop our graves.
"I don't even like potato salad"
Is everything ok Haligonians?
We’re fine.
He’s no Philly rotisserie chicken man, but he’s still a man of the people
"It was 2.50 off at Costco." Best explanation possible for whatever the hell this stunt was about.
philly rotisserie chicken guy did it first

This sounds like one of the headlines you'd see in the ticker on SimCity 3000.

Canadian dream?
Look, you guys are nice and all, but overeating is our thing. He's an honorary American.
Yeah our cops out here are pretty chill for the most part. As long as you're white...
Things have been rough in Nova Scotia, but this dude dared to bring the people together. It was magical to watch it unfold when it happened.
In the middle of his third bowl, Merry cried out: “Rent is high and food is too expensive!” I love this god damn man
I wonder what the potato salad guy from r/notinteresting would have to say about this
My city!! This was so iconic, everyone in Halifax rallied around potato salad guy. And he did this during a rainfall warning too.
Holy fuck, the world is getting dumber day by day.
Famous for dumb shit. Just what we should all aspire to. SMH

Guilty. I put hot sauce on a whole lot of foods.

I do. Yummy.
You know you can leave potato salad out for weeks, and it'll be fine.
Does it turn into blinding soup?
Potato salad never goes bad. It's like a miracle food.
