Marshawn Lynch Inks Skittles Endorsement
January 30, 2014
Skittles, a brand of Wrigley’s, has announced an endorsement deal with Seattle Seahawks running back, Marshawn Lynch.
The deal is unsurprising considering Lynch’s love of the sweet brand.
The candy manufacturer Mars will make a “Seattle Mix” in honor of the running back and will donate $10,000 to Lynch’s Fam 1st Family Foundation for every touchdown he scores Sunday. Lynch also will receive financial compensation, according to ESPN. We’d include more details if we were getting paid by Skittles.
Lynch has four 100-yard games in six postseason contests, with six touchdowns. The last playoff game during which he didn’t score was the 2010 divisional-round loss in Chicago.
The Seahawks will take on the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl on February 2.
