Was Tavon trying to get high on Skittles, Arizona Iced Tea, Robitussin?

Purple Drank or Lean is a coctail that is created by mixing Robitussin or other over-the-counter cough medicines with, you guessed it, Skittles and Arizona Watermelon Juice, the flavor of tea Trayvon Martin was carrying that night.

How come none of this was reported!!!!!!

Should be TRavon

The street thug was probably doing this

I did hear about this, way back when this first happened.  A lot was going on last year about the time of the Trayvon thing and it got forgotten.

I was surprised more of that aspect wasn't made.

When the link was first made the MSM suddenly dropped the watermelon part and started saying it was just iced tea.

When the link was first made the MSM suddenly dropped the watermelon part and started saying it was just iced tea.

And that's where it ended because iced tea doesn't work in that style of concoction - the drink needs to be sickly, syrupy sweet.  But there's no way the media was going to let Saint Tray Tray have anything sully his character or even use the word watermelon in the same sentence with black.
