Bryan Cranston And Aaron Paul Donate "Breaking Bad" Props To The Smithsonian
Methamphetamines are now officially a part of television history.

Well, the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History whole-heartedly agrees and on Tuesday accepted some of the show's memorabilia for posterity so future generations can all revel in Walter White's badass story.
