Those who called Marco Rubio a robot for his seemingly automated delivery of talking points at the last Republican debate have no reason to doubt his humanity after the Florida senator cracked his tooth while eating a frozen Twix bar Wednesday night.

"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 made an early morning stop by a dentist's office Thursday to have his broken molar fixed. He will have to adhere to a soft-food diet for the next few days while his tooth heals.

But Rubio did not sulk over his dietary restrictions. Following the appointment, he was spotted eating syrup-soaked blueberry pancakes at a local eatery in Okatie, S.C.
