The new mnemonic for memorizing the planets in our solar

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.
