Now this is a workout I can get behind. Marshawn Lynch, running back for the Seattle Seahawks, found a creative way to get through tough workouts: Skittles. This is the first in a series of Skittles ads with NFL tie-ins. When the Seahawks won the Super Bowl earlier this year, Skittles created a limited edition "Seattle Mix" to honor Lynch. In the ad, Lynch survives hard workouts by incorporating Skittles into various exercises. When Lynch is riding a stationary bike, for example, there's a bag of Skittles hanging just out of reach. When Lynch lifts weights, they are see-through and filled with thousands and thousands of Skittles. Now that would be a fun contest: guess how many Skittles Lynch is lifting! Even the weighted sled Lynch is moving is packed with a clear box of Skittles. Watch the ad here, created by Olson Engage.
