I am so confused by this.
Isn't Patti Labelle a diabetic? Why is she making sweet potato pies for?

Walmart with the recipe. It's Walmart's money
are you sure about that? or just running your mouth with opinions not facts, as usual?
1. Shes using Walmart as a distributor. It's likely she is using its manufacturing as well. Doing my googles to confirm.
2. She has a website and they only sell sauces. Each walmart apparently only has 12 per day. Had it not been for the viral video, awareness of the product would be zip.
3. You do know how it works dealing with the big boys, walmart that is, right? That 2.3 ain't all hers. I'm trying to find the source, cause while the pies wear here emblem
"Patti's good life" I wanna see where the manufacturing takes place and by whom.
You would have to be willfully ignorant to not think that out of 2.3 mill, Walmart isn't making a sizeable chunk. I mentioned in this thread before, she would be better served
in black businesses , though Walmart likely had the pull to get her to come around.
Walmart is. Her name is just on it. Stop being disrespectful.

The cookbook the recipe comes from. Limited numbers of pies per store. Tells me since this is nationwide, Patti isn't making those.

exactly my point. you downplaying her role and you dont know anything for sure. I haven't seen any exact numbers regarding her share, but the message is that black spending power is real.Ya'll always trying to deflect and downplay though.
Nobody is doing that, fam. I'm trying to see who is caking most, who to support. Bu ying from walmart does NOT mean the money is going to her like that.
no, you're trying to immediately downplay her role, as i normally see you do with black folks.
just say you dont know and wait till the numbers come out before you try to down play her influence. isn't it her recipe? i'm sure she's caking lovely off that. and i'm sure blacks contributed significantly to her success.

But to keep it a hunnid.... its ok in small moderation.... and I do mean small......
Is this even Patti's company it just white folks who slapped her pic on it and gave her a few dollars?

And there is nothing wrong with that.... Its a tough market to get into.... her becoming popular via the big boys opens the floodgates for her to do her own thing.... since her name is behind a strong product now.....
The Black dollar isn't the farce. We just aren't doing the wise thing with our dollars.

Breh, you talking about a corportation that routinely squeezes suppliers to make better margins. Yes, support Patti, but this wouldnt be the first time MOST of the money
goes exactly where people wouldn't want it to. This goes for all commerce.
But she became popular with a facebook video with over 20 million views. Patty has a website and a Lady Marmelade line. I imagine those channels mean money to her, not
the big boys. They get a cut.
