Marco Rubio isย giving the phrase “breaking news” a whole new meaning.

The GOP presidential candidate made headlines on Thursday for cracking a tooth.ย The incident happened aboard a flight to Washington, D.C. on Wednesday evening, when Rubioย chomped on a frozen Twix bar.

“I just bit into a Twix bar and I go, ‘man this Twix bar’s got something really hard in it,’” Rubio told The Wall Street Journal. “And I go, ‘Ohย my gosh, I cracked my tooth.’”

The Twix debacle quickly became a trending topic on Twitter … and let’s just say, it’s not exactly helpingย his campaign find its footing after a bad debate performanceย last week, followed by aย disappointing showing in the New Hampshire primariesย on Monday.
