Lots of skittles for New Englanders

[LoveTrains]

So of course I think of GBCN whenever I hear about Seattles. I hope our Mayor enjoys his giant bag of skittles.

Elorza, Seattle mayor make Super Bowl bet

Published: January 30, 2015 04:38 PM


Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza and Seattle Mayor Ed Murray have placed a friendly wager on the outcome of Super Bowl XLIX.

According to Elorza's office, if the Seahawks win, Providence will send 12.5 to 13.5 pounds (a nod to the Deflategate scandal) of items that Providence is known for, including Olneyville New York System hot wiener sauce spice mix, sweet bread from El Quetzal Bakery, Trinity Brew House IPA, and music by Deer Tick and the Low Anthem.


If the Patriots win, Seattle will send a gift basket to Providence City Hall that will include Northwest alder-smoked salmon from Pure Food Fish Market, whole bean coffees from the original Starbucks at Pike Place Market and a giant bag of Skittles.

The Democratic mayors finalized the details of their Super Bowl XLIX bet in a conference call Friday afternoon.

Giant bags of skittles were on sale at Costco today next to the Seahawks cupcakes. It made me wish I liked skittles more or that peanut m&ms were the thing instead.

I love funny bets like this, but we know if the Patriots win that Boston is going to skimp and send less that "regulation."
