If you can't stand the heat, stay outta Burger King

The burger chain announced its "Angriest Whopper" on Tuesday, a follow up to the restaurant's previous "Angry Whopper," a burger so fiery it apparently needed a successor.

The newest edition has a red bun with hot sauce baked right in, flaming onion petals, spicy angry sauce and jalapeños, making this the spiciest option Burger King has created. 

"This alarmingly delicious burger is sure to disprove the commonly held belief that a sequel is never as good as the original," says the company.

Check out the sequel's "trailer" here:

This isn't the first colorful bun for BK. During Halloween 2015, Burger King launched its A.1. steak sauce burger with a pitch-black bun, leading to some pretty interesting body reactions from customers. 

The Angriest Whopper is available for a limited time at participating restaurants nationwide.
