You’ll recall Skittles and Arizona Iced Tea got an unexpected, and unwanted, sales bump from the Trayvon Martin tragedy, and now the Daily News lets the world know that shooter George Zimmerman went on a candy-buying binge at the Seminole County Jail. He “bought plenty of junk food in the commissary — including Tostitos tortilla chips, beef sticks, white cheddar popcorn, chocolate creme cookies, Jolly Ranchers, root beer and fruit punch.” All told, his commissary bill tallied $79.84. Crucial details, people. [NYDN]
