Riley Merry was 25 and fresh out of a five-year relationship when an uneaten 5-lb. tub of potato salad inspired him to create posters advertising a public eating challenge
After one of his posters landed on Reddit, hundreds of people showed up in the pouring rain to watch Merry attempt to finish the entire tub
Three years later, Merry says he still gets recognized several times a week and credits the bizarre experience with giving him a new sense of confidence
Riley Merry says he only bought the 5-lb. tub of potato salad because he thought his ex might come back.
Instead, the untouched Costco purchase eventually brought hundreds of strangers into the pouring rain, landed him on national television and turned him into an unlikely Halifax legend known simply as "Potato Salad Guy."
