SpaghettiOs is rolling out a new flavor with millennials in mind.

The new Spicy Original SpaghettiOs featuring Frank’s RedHot sauce is a “grown-up” twist on the childhood favorite, Campbell’s announced in a news release.

Campbell’s teamed up with the popular hot sauce brand to cater to adults who grew up eating the canned soup and pasta, but now want a bit of kick for their mature palettes. The new flavor arrived in stores on April 4 and offers fans a punch of mild-medium heat.

Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce lands relatively low on the overall spiciness scale, at about 450 in Scoville heat units, CBS News reported.

A can will cost you $1.59, plus tax, the release said.

News of the spicy, new flavor prompted a variety of reactions online.

“Through this collaboration, we’re excited to put a hot, more mature twist on a classic offering that our adult consumers grew up enjoying,” Mieka Burns, vice president of meals & sauces at the Campbell Soup Company, said in a statement.
