Antonio Brown Has A Skittles Vending Machine In His House

Ryan Mayer

When you think of NFL players loving Skittles, the first name that likely comes to mind is Marshawn Lynch. However, he's not the only NFL player to have professed a love for the sugary, flavored candy. Steelers wide receiver Antonio Browns is also known to be a big fan. At one point last season Brown wore Skittles themed receiver's gloves.

Now, the company has rewarded Brown's love of Skittles with a special gift: his very own vending machine filled with the candy. The machine, which Brown posted a video of on his Instagram account, is personalized with his signature and his slogan "Business is Booming". Take a look.

One question I have after watching the video... There seems to be multiple different tubes filled with Skittles as the cup moves across the bottom of the machine to the different tubes. Are they all different kinds? For instance, does he have one tube with regular Skittles, one for sour Skittles and one for tropical Skittles? Is it just four tubes with the regular kind?

Sorry, these are the things I think about. Regardless, congratulations to Brown, the machine is pretty cool.
