If you think a sugar overdose is a "great way to go" then this ice cream cotton candy burrito invention is perfect for you.

Sugar Sugar in Sarnia, Ontario thought this diabetic's worst nightmare was a great idea, and it's garnered them a lot of worldwide attention.

...and people aren't really sure how to take it. Comments are varied. Some loved the idea, some hate it.

But then the ultimate question emerged: is this actually a burrito?

According to Wikipedia, a burrito is "a type of Mexican and Tex-Mex food, consisting of a large wheat flour tortilla with a filling, wrapped into a closed-ended cylinder".

They go on to list the different types of fillings that can typically be included: "Mexican-style rice or plain rice, beans or refried beans, lettuce, salsa, meat, guacamole, cheese, sour cream and various vegetables."

So, by definition this sweet sacrilege is not a burrito.

And that's where the debate rages on. Reactions on Twitter are mixed from "this is a burrito" to "stop it" (full disclosure, I tweeted that).

You make some excellent points, Mike.
