Republican presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) has a sweet tooth and on Wednesday, he cracked it while eating a frozen Twix bar.

Rubio recalled the incident to reporters Thursday while dining at a Cracker Barrel with his family in South Carolina, according to the Wall Street Journal. He told journalists the molar mishap happened while he was on a plane.

“I just bit into a Twix bar and I go, ‘Man this Twix bar’s got something really hard in it,’” Rubio said. “And I go, ‘Oh my gosh, I cracked my tooth.’”

Rubio said the incident wasn’t painful and that he got a temporary resin filler. He said he’ll get a permanent fix when he goes back home to Miami, according to the report.

  2. Who’s paying for it? Him? The campaign? Obamacare?

  3. Probably on one of whose dildos from the Oregon refuge.
