Taste The Rainbow Like a Beast

Over the past few years it’s become some what of a urban legend that Marshawn Lynch loves the candy Skittles, and even enjoys them during a football game.  Except in this case the legend is true!

As a result of this little colorful tidbit Seahawks fans have started the tradition of raining down Skittles on Lynch whenever he scores a touchdown and even when he’s just sitting on the bench.

Recently teammate and wide receiver Golden Tate even got in on the fun

Fans and commentators alike have wondered, when is the endorsement deal coming?  Well the day has finally arrived, it was recently announced that Lynch has  signed a deal with Mars Candy (the manufacturer of Skittles)  for an undisclosed figure.  In addition to the deal, Mars is also planning to donate $10,000 to Lynch’s Fam First Foundation for every touchdown he scores in the Superbowl.

They have also started to manufacture special edition Seahawks Skittles candy in anticipation for the Superbowl.
