Marshawn Lynch is a well-known Skittles connoisseur, but what other treats does the retired NFL star enjoy?

Lynch embarked on a press tour of Toronto earlier this month as part of his role as an ambassador for DAZN — the streaming platform features every NFL game and NFL RedZone, plus Premier League, Champions League and Serie A soccer — and on one of his stops he was treated to several Canadian snacks.

The 33-year-old was tasked with ranking some of Canada's best known junk food, with some pretty surprising results.

Lynch sampled All Dressed chips, a Kinder Surprise chocolate egg, Coffee Crisp and other well-known snacks, with varying reactions. After tasting Smarties — which he subsequently placed in his "keep for later" pile — he gave a reaction that could only come from the man known as Beast Mode. When told that his interviewer preferred Smarties to M&Ms, Lynch deadpanned, "you probably would say some s— like that."

In the end, more snacks ended up in Lynch's good books than others, but the five-time Pro Bowl running back ended with his preferred Skittles as he jokingly told viewers to catch him in an NFL game on DAZN even though he hasn't played in nearly a year.
