You've already tasted the rainbow, now sample the flaming hot sun with Wrigley's latest madcap creations: "Sweet Heat" Skittles and Starburst.

The candy giant announced the sure-to-be-divisive confections in a press release along with 12 other new products last week. "In December, Skittles and Starburst are spicing things up with Sweet Heat, where each pack features fruity flavors with a spicy kick," read the note. Strawberry Nut Chocolate M&M's and Twix Dark Chocolate Cookie Bars are some of the other treats set to arrive later this year.

While the new candies might be spicy, the reaction on Twitter to the news has been mostly salty. Find some takes below.
