Patti LaBelle‘s sweet potato pies are a hit across the nation. Customers report finding empty shelves at Walmart stores that carry the pies bearing LaBelle’s name.
The sweet potato pies sold out everywhere after a positive video review was posted on YouTube.com by a fan.
YouTube star James Wright posted his ecstatic review of the pies while snacking on several of the pies. Wright hits high notes that LaBelle would admire as he sings Patti’s praises.
Wright’s review has racked up over 1 million views on his YouTube channel.
The funny thing is LaBelle is probably being paid for the use of her name, like most celebrity endorsers.
Be careful eating sweet potato pies if you are diabetic or have high cholesterol.
Just ONE SLICE of sweet potato pie has nearly 400 calories and 25 grams of sugar — that’s equivalent to 6 teaspoons of sugar!
Dietitians advise consuming 25 grams of sugar per day. So eating 1 slice of sweet potato pie gives you your entire daily recommended sugar intake!
