Marshawn Lynch Eats Skittles Candy After Each Touchdown

Taste the beast mode. Taste the Rainbow.

Who knew they were the same thing?!

Seattle Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch has always been a quirky guy. But his love of the rainbow candy is one of the most unique things I’ve ever seen.

After this touchdown run Lynch finds his special bag of Skittles on the sidelines and enjoys a handful.

Turns out his mother gives him a bag before each game for him to have and on Thursday night we caught the ritual on camera.

Lynch had just turned on Beast Mode again and ran through a ton of Eagles on his way to the first score of the night. When the cameras returned the announcers pointed out the Skittles backstory and showed this nice clip.

Apparently, Lynch has his own Skittles assistant.

UPDATE: Apparantly, someone at the Skittles home office, which I assume is on a rainbow, saw the game last night. Skittles is offering Marshawn Lynch a 24-month free supply & a customized dispenser for his locker for last night’s exposure.
