The "sweet potato theory" is a concept that suggests certain innovations or cultural practices spread rapidly once a society reaches a tipping point of understanding or necessity. The theory is often used to explain how ideas or technologies can suddenly become widespread after a long period of dormancy or slow growth. It draws its name from the observation of how sweet potatoes became a staple food in some regions after being initially introduced.
