My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nougat

The new mnemonic for memorizing the planets in our solar system in order away from the sun. Until recently, the mnemonic was My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pies, but since Pluto was eliminated from the list, "pies" no longer fits.
Grade School Kid 1: I have an astronomy quiz tomorrow, but I don't know the planets in order!
Grade School Kid 2: Dude, it's just My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nougat. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune!
Grade School Kid 1: What happened to Pluto?
Grade School Kid 2: Psh, Pluto is so pre-August 2006.
