Was a step in the right direction when candy kittens first came out they were fresh and inviting for all veggies. Now they taste of nothing or they are smothered in sugar what a let down!

Ordered Nov 11th, two advent calenders and a bundle. No tracking, no delivery, generic response, very annoying! Sick of hearing its on its way after many long days and nights! Jamie messed up... See more

Being vegetarian I had resigned myself to the fact I would not be able to enjoy flavourful sweets again. I found candy kittens in my local supermarket and have been hooked since, by far the best vegan... See more

Sexualising children’s sweets is…

Sexualising children’s sweets is abhorrent, there’s no need for them to be advertised to children amongst their usual selections in supermarkets, one could sell them in Adult stores like Anne Summer’s for example if you wanted to target a particular demographic who might buy such a debased novelty for hen do’s etc, but by not focusing on such adult stores, it implies that you are promoting such to innocent children on purpose which makes you guilty of encouraging pedophilia - by definition the sexualisation of minors and you are inflicting sexual harm against children. Not a good look for your company or if it is fully intentional, then shame on you all and may public outrage destroy the businesses of all who are so morally bankrupt. You are the Jimmy Saville & Jeffery Epstein of the confectionary world - what a disgusting legacy, but in fact echos the disgusting taste of the range of sweets you make, so I suppose not surprising at all.

Thanks for your review. We’re sorry you find our collaboration with Netflix Sex Education offensive. We’re big fans of the show and decided to collaborate with them to broaden the reach of important topics that the show brings to light. We feel passionately that the topics discussed within the show resonate with our consumers (20-30 year old females). Whilst children may also enjoy our products, we do not market towards them and they’re not our intended target consumer.

Our partnership with Netflix is for a limited period, and it's unlikely you will be able to find them in stores for much longer. We are also working with our grocery partners to implement age restrictions on this product where possible.

Please be assured that your comments have been passed on to the relevant people for their consideration.

Sex Sweets for Children?

Zero stars for pretending that sugary 'sweeties' are for adults only. They're on the shelves for kids' sweets, they're animal-shaped to appeal to children, but this is also a sex in-joke (furries, anyone?) It looks as if there's a huge push to get children into thinking about nothing but sex. Wonder who's behind it?

DO NOT BUY THESE SWEETS

I have only just seen the totally inappropriate and shocking packing on supermarket shelves where children are bound to go. I am both upset and angry that these sweets are promoting a series(Sex Education) that is clearly not for children and selling them with the strap line - 'sweet and sex go hand in hand' . The sweets contain different shapes including those of condoms. We all know sweets are marketed at children and these are condoning and grooming the sexualisation of children.

SEX SWEETS FOR CHILDREN?

SEX SWEETS FOR CHILDREN?
Utterly disgraceful that a company can produce sweets that are designed and packaged in a manner to attract small children, but contain sexual information, imagery and shapes. With no age restriction.
They try to pass it off as 'sex education' (because eating condoms is educational?) but ignores the obvious associative dangers - have the marketing team even thought about grooming?
Even when for adults, why assert on the packaging that sex and sweets ONLY aim to make you feel good? 'Fun, awkward and dirty', but no reference to supporting, love or procreation. On an 'Educational' product.

Disgusting - Sex Education Candy Kittens

Sex Education Candy Kittens. This is disgusting aiming these types of sweets and packaging at children. I don't know how these are allowed to appear on the children's section of the confectionary isle in my local supermarkets. Section 10 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 makes it an offence for a person (A) aged 18 or over, intentionally to cause or incite a child aged under 16 to engage in sexual activity. This is child grooming.

Candy Kittens can’t block Trust Pilot :)

Glad to see that I can share my opinion of this perverse collaboration on Trust Pilot.
After several attempts trying to post this on the Candy Kittens site, only to see it removed within seconds, I gave up. It seems they’ve put some kind of block on any further reviews for this product.
That being the case, would suggest they might actually realise they got it wrong. Fact of the matter is, it shouldn’t have happened in the first place
We don’t have kid’s, and when I see rubbish like this, it just further endorses that I made the right choice.
My wife and I used to buy Candy Kitten because they’re vegan and taste good. No more. We don’t want to associate ourselves with sick perverts. If you need a condom shaped sweet to spice up your sex life. You’re in a pretty sad and pathetic relationship. if you want to sell this rubbish then sell it in the saddo adult shops where perverted and deprived individuals, such as the moron who’s 5* review actually says “They get me in the mood for a bit of kiddy fiddling” can buy them.
Candy Kitten have gone right down in my estimation, and have sunk to the wretched and perverted level of Jimmy Saville & Rolf Harris. I sincerely hope you go under as a result of this sick collaboration.

Grooming our children!!!

We all know sweets are marketed at children, despite your lame response that they're marketed at 20-30 Yr old females.
Sex and sweets do NOT go together. However this is the claim on the candy kittens sweet packs that have teamed up with nexflix.
Candy kittens - a child favourite - have released a packet of sweets condoning the grooming and sexualsation of children.
The packet shows a condom being put on a banana, words on the back stating "sex and sweets go hand in hand" and talking about "dirty sex" not to mention the condom shaped sweets inside the packet.
This is sickening and blatant sexualisation and grooming of children. Tescos have already removed the product nationwide from their stores after a backlash across the country from disgusted and furious parents and adults.
This filth needs to be off the shelves!!!!!

Promoting sex to kid's is disgusting

Promoting sex to kid's is disgusting! Sex and sweets go hand in hand do they Jamie? Not for kid's! Are you and the company in Epsteins black book or something.

Absolutely sick to have these sweets in the sweet Isle for kid's to buy in a world where kid's are abused and sold to grooming gang's.

I was looking for sweets for my child when I saw these Candy Kittens on the sweets aisle in Tesco. My daughter loves animals so these seemed great. However, when I looked more closely I saw that these were actually adult themed sweets. Some of these sweets were shaped as condoms and the packaging had images of condoms on it and was promoting a tv series called 'Sex Education'. I couldn'tbelieve that this was being marketed to children. The wording on the packaging also drew a parallel between sweets and sex, saying both are fun. Is this what we want children to be exposed to? Totally inappropriate.

Disgraceful

Disgraceful. These are colourful sweets which attract children and are full of completely inappropriate sexual references. Shameful.

The word "Gourmet" doesn't change your target audience and make them more "grown-up".

Putting the word "Gourmet" on a bag of sweets does not change the target audience. They are in the sweet’s aisle, accessible to children. The fact that most of the reviews are from PARENTS highlights that a lot of your consumers are most definitely CHILDREN. The TV show is sick and inappropriate in itself, but this is a whole new level. This "collaboration" does not raise any kind of educational awareness. In fact, it raises awareness on how truly twisted and perverted the world really is. You definitely need to change your logo from "No Nasties. All Good".

"We are no good, just a nasty bunch of sexualised perverts".

Zero rating should be an option given.

Extremely inappropriate

Extremely inappropriate. Definitely targeted at children! Should NOT be put on shelves. putting condom shaped sweets in packaging for kids to eat is vile. This sort of product is something you find in sex shops not in the kids sweet isle.
