Patti LaBelle’s pies are back in Wal-Mart, and the department store is calling it a Christmas miracle.
“It took about 2 million pounds of California-grown sweet potatoes to deliver this Christmas miracle,” said John Forrest Ales, director of corporate communications at Wal-Mart.
On Tuesday, Wal-Mart CEO Doug McMillon posted on Instagram to say that the shipments of pies were being sent out, and the pies will now be sold year-round.
“At the end of November, the pies were the most-requested item across all Wal-Mart Wish Lists,” Ales said. In fact, the pies were selling at one pie per second for the 72 hours following the viral video of James Wright Chanel eating LaBelle’s pie.
