MINI BELIEVE IT OR NOT –

There’s a desk in the U.S. Senate designated the “candy desk” because it’s full of candy. 

  • The tradition of the candy desk was started in 1965 by Senator George Murphy of California
  • It’s located in the back row of the Republican side
  • The candy desk is always by the Chamber’s most heavily used entrance
  • The tenant of the candy desk is charged with stocking it with candy from his or her home state

MINI BION

“BIONs” – short for Believe It or Not – is the word we use at Ripley’s to refer to anything that is unbelievable and worthy to become part of Ripley’s lore and collection.
