Something like this?
color[___] = Black;
color[Drink] = Blue;
color[Meat] = Pink;
maxfont = 100;
minfont = 10;
Panel[Row[Apply[
Tooltip[
Style[#1, "FontFamily" -> "Helvetica",
"FontSize" -> Max[maxfont*#3/Max[sales[[All, 3]]], minfont],
"FontColor" -> color[#2]
],
#3
] &,
SortBy[sales, First],
{1}
],
Spacer[5]
]
]
of course you might want to use something smarter for the font sizes,
but that would need more information about what you want to read from
that tag cloud...
