2. Jolly Rancher Candy (Gerald Mitchell)
Mitchell was found guilty of killing two people during a robbery gone bad (as opposed to a robbery gone well, I guess). He was sentence to be executed in 2001 in the state of Texas. His last request was a bag of Jolly Rancher candy. My curiosity is how did he eat them? Most seasoned Jolly Rancher lovers do not equally divide and conquer, but rather eat flavors in order. My guess is he first ate the cherry because they are most enjoyable and then moved on to watermelon (second best). He then ate the grape and stuck out his tongue because it would be purple and that never gets old. Finally, he would eat the sour apple candies. After enough of those I’m guessing he was ready for his execution.
