Sweets from the Smithsonian

By Janice Wood · February 3, 2006 ·

Part of the fun of visiting an aviation museum is bringing home a keepsake – or two. At the Air & Space Museum in Washington, D.C., an M&M candy dispenser is the big item this year, according to spokesman Mike Marcus.

“We partnered with Mars Candy and have a limited edition collectors M&M dispenser,” he said. “It can only be purchased at the museum or through the M&M website. Proceeds from the sale go to finance Phase II at the Udvar Hazy Restoration Facility. When it is finished, the public will be able to watch airplanes and spacecraft undergoing restoration.”

Interested? The keepsake sells for $19.99.
