A bright sunny rainbow dropping red,blue, purple,yellow, orange and green Skittles has been spotted.

Where? At Derrick Rose’s house.

Rose is a well known candy addict who has been awarded a Skittles vending machine with his name on it. According to ESPN, Skittles has been sending Rose mass amounts of Skittles since they learned of his sweet tooth, so why not give him his own machine.

Honestly, I’m jealous. The only candy I eat is the colorful S at the end of the rainbow. How do I get one? Never mind, I don’t need one.

The bigger question is, if every athlete said they liked something, do they get it? I’ll ask Reggie Bush.
