Travis Kelce/Instagram "I remember going to my mom and asking her in middle school — because we used to get school lunch — going to my mom in middle school and being like, 'Mom can I get $5 a week so I can get a Fruitopia every day?' because a Fruitopia was $1," Travis explained. "They had one drink machine, one vending machine where you could go and get a Fruitopia." And while Mama Kelce granted Travis' request, the future NFL star ended up spending his money on a different sweet treat. "It turned into me just going and buying 50 cent honey buns," Travis shared of the iced bun. "Like, a ridiculous, like, [I'd spend] $5 worth on honey buns on Monday." And when Travis brought his honey buns home in his backpack, he shocked his mother. "Mom was like, 'What the f--- is this bag?' Mom didn't swear but, 'What the hell is in this bag?' " Travis quipped. "She opened up the bag. 'Are you stealing honey buns from the store?' I'm like, 'No, Mom, I'm using the money you gave me.' " Travis admitted he was "stocking up" so he could have honey buns every day. "And that's when my mom stopped giving me $5 for Fruitopias because I was turning into a big boy," Travis joked.
