Chelsea Makes Headlines For Mountain Dew

When you're an ex and wannabe First Daughter at the same time, even what you buy at a quick grocery store stop makes the news. The Eugene Register-Guard gives us the shopping list (along with a gorgeous photo of Chelsea):

Clinton emerged Monday from a white stretch Ford Suburban SUV, wearing jeans and a white jacket ... Accompanied by her chief of staff, Bari Lurie, the 28-year-old Clinton first picked out two green apples from the produce aisle. Then she loaded up on pretzels, popcorn, a dozen cupcakes, chocolate chip cookies, Special K bars and, in a seemingly impulsive purchase, a large plastic jar of nuts-and-M&Ms trail mix ...

Clinton placed two 12-packs of soda under her arm (Mountain Dew and Diet Coke) and found her way to the checkout line. She paid in cash.

“This is like our royalty,” marveled Mary Linn, a Fred Meyer pharmacy technician who joined co-workers watching Clinton at the checkout line. “OK guys, she’s normal: She’s getting chocolate,” Linn said.
