Amazing. This thing has gone up over $100,000 since I posted it (yes, I know I didn't have anything to do with it). Crowd sourcing at its best!

I was going to do my standard $25 pledge for something like this, but don't think he needs the extra coin. I am trying (successfully so far) to keep myself from doing the $185 which would get me one of the coolers. Looks like they will retail for just under $300 based on some of the comments. Probably wouldn't be able to get that by the commissioner though...

What happens to that money? Do they have to show that it was spent on the product, prodution, development...anything?

Kick starter is for suckers. It will never be manufactured. All the money will be gone. Total BS IMHO. I just bring my blender & plug it in My cooler cost 30.00 & the bender costs 30.00 or less . This is a joke. A sucker is born every day. :flag:

I thought I read where they can't (or don't have to) return money if they don't reach their goal. And what about the extra? take this one for example, what do they have to do with the excess? Seems like if it was a great idea, they could get a loan. I think that kickstart may be a lot less work with no risk...
