Well… just to point out the obvious, we knew it was a yam, but called it a sweet potato on purpose. That’s why the word yam shows up on the yam during the video.
I’ve been doing a little research into potassium rich foods and discovered that apparently the average baked potato is right up there. Sources disagree as to how much potassium the average potato has, but generally they seem to suggest it’s pretty high. Higher than the standard “banana benchmark” in fact (though bananas do still have a higher potassium to sodium ratio).

Since the “sweet potato” you used is actually a yam, shouldn’t you call that particular drink “Yamade?”

Yes… this was an inconsistency and we probably should have called it Yamade.

That is right. Or yam priests.
BTW - what was the society who used yams as currency Brian?

Upon research it looks like the peoples on the Trobriand Islands in Papua New Guinea.
That or where ever Finishnr, the tribal Yam Priest of the Forgotten Realms campaign, was supposed to be from.

That was amazing. I’ll have to make some of the last one for my next party.

Sis’,
You should only serve that stuff if you want the guests not to come to the party you throw after that.
Now the sweet tateraid on the other hand: Delish! (but a little tough to get out of the glass)

Just another reason to drink Taterade!
