Al Roker’s Sweet Potato Poon, a delicious dish with a side of mystery https://t.co/Vj2DTqpL62

— The Associated Press (@AP) October 16, 2024

Look, this writer loves her some sweet potatoes on Thanksgiving.

She’s never heard it referred to as that, before. It’s apparently an old-fashioned term for sweet potato casserole, but we highly recommend not Googling it.

The mystery is which intern is getting fired for this headline. Also, I’m canceling Thanksgiving.

Yeah, this writer is passing on the sweet potatoes this year.

I thought the sweet potato poon was when you grab her by her *censored* and then you position your *censored*in her *censored*, and then using a potato you *censored* *censored* *censored*.

Oh don’t forget the mayo.

Aaaaaand now we’re dead.

“I’ve eaten so much of Al Roker’s poon, I couldn’t possibly take another bite”. Sorry by this doesn’t sound right.

I thought my family was the only one @alroker I was told poon was the leftover from making sweet potato pies. It wasn’t enough filling for a whole pie so you put it in a cast iron or baking dish and you can eat it as a side dish https://t.co/jMo8zPPe6R
