Celebrities doing weathercasts is nothing new, but Skittles got into the action Thursday by recruiting Broncos star DeMarcus Ware to offer a real forecast for Super Bowl Sunday—and his prediction included a Skittles-branded rainbow over Santa Clara, Calif., for the Feb. 7 game against the Carolina Panthers.
The linebacker, 33, did the forecast on Denver's Fox31. See it here:
The stunt comes with an actual weather-related contest that Skittles is organizing for game day. If a rainbow does actually appear over the Bay Area that day, fans who have used the hashtags #SkittlesRainbow and #Contest in the days leading up to the game will be eligible for free Skittles.
