Skittles-filled sausage flying off the shelves in Seattle

Skittles-filled sausage flying off the shelves in Seattle

Seattle still can't get enough of "Beast Mode Sausage."

Tommy Marshall and Evan Greco, the owners of Blue Max Meats, came up with the clever idea to stuff sausages with Skittles in honor of running back Marshawn Lynch during the Seahawks' 2013 Super Bowl run.

With the Seahawks headed to the Super Bowl for the second year in a row, customers are still flocking to the butcher shop to try the sausage. 

"We originally did it to put our name on the map, but we've kind of become a destination," Marshall told Darren Rovell of ESPN.com. "Not a day goes by where we don't sell it."

It may not sound appetizing, but Marshall said the spices from the sausage and the sweetness from the Skittles actually go quite well together. He estimates the shop has gone through about 1,000 pounds of the candy in the past year.
