Costume Store Manager Says Customers Using 'Breaking Bad' Haz Mat Suits To Design Ebola Costumes

(CBS) -- What do you get when you cross the TV show "Breaking Bad" with current events? The answer is: one of this year's most popular - and perhaps most tasteless - Halloween costumes.

After two decades at Fantasy Costumes on Milwaukee Avenue, General Manager Cathy Bunger has seen it all.

"Desiree, where's the 'Breaking Bad' yellow..."

"I think we ran out."

"Really? In the morning... to that lady?

"Apparently we are sold out. Temporarily, I'm sure, because we can reorder it. But - there you go."
