The sweets are bland and taste like medicine and just not nice at all! SAV UR KIDS FROM TUMMYACHE

The sweets are bland and taste like medicine especially the tropical blast. Personally, as I like niko I decided to buy the advent calendar trying to give the sweets a second chance. However, it was a great disappointment. As for starters, you only get 3 sweets a day and sometimes u just get the same sweet. Like on one day I got 3 red tropical blast sweets, which I dont like at all. I think that niko scammed me and the glaze is becoming to big and it doesn't live up the profile that it has been given I will definitely won't be buying these sweets again, nor the advent calendar as it was a BIG waste of money. Everybody please stop your children from buying this rubbish!

actually a good youtuber product

The new sour flavour is actually an amazing sweet espicially considering it was created by a youtuber, which normally means the product is rubbish but in this case it was a great expeirence. a good price for what i would say is a more luxury sweet expeirence and is halal. would reccomend

ShadesbyNiko are the best sweets ever

Honestly, big up shades. BIG UP NIKO. My life wouldn’t be nothing without ShadesbyNiko. The feeling when you taste a sweet is mental. All the other sweet brands have nothing against shades. All shades flavours are banging: straight - up strawberry(the best flavour) ; the originals(joy In every flavour) ; tropical blast (feels like ur in the Caribbean and last but not least Sour Ultimate VIBES🔥(taste better than heaven!

BIG UP NIKO
AND
BIG UP SHADES
THEY ARE THE BEST

Ok product terrible taste

The taste is just ok they are not great I don’t think I would ever get these again, I tried the strawberry shades and they were bland in taste and the texture wasn’t great at all either. Another overhyped product. Also over priced 1.70 a pack

Picked some up at a petrol station

Picked some up at a petrol station. I ate 1 bag now I’m addicted. Just tried the tropical and it’s insane by far my favourite flavour.
Normally YouTubers products are bad but Niko is the best in the world.
