Sen. Marco Rubio's impromptu water break during the Republican response to the State of the Union on Tuesday caused a stir on Twitter.

The moment didn't go unnoticed online.
Stevie B. tweeted: "I don't often drink water, but when I do it's Poland Springs- Marc Rubio"

"If Marco rubio's water break was the biggest fault the liberals can find in his speech , I'd say Rubio did a pretty dang good job," said Ryan Wirsing.
