Millions Sweets: Every Flavour in the Range
Strawberry Millions
Strawberry Millions are consistently the bestselling flavour in the range. The strawberry flavour is sharp and sweet at once, and the small granule format means you get a concentrated hit with each mouthful. A bag lasts longer than you expect because the size of each piece means you naturally eat them slowly. Available in bulk bag format, strawberry is the one to go for if you’re buying Millions for the first time.
Bubblegum Millions
Bubblegum Millions are the sweet, slightly synthetic bubblegum flavour in the same tiny granule format. Bubblegum is a flavour that works particularly well in Millions because the intensity of the small pieces matches the boldness of the flavour. These are popular with younger buyers but have a wider following than you might expect. The colour is a vivid blue, which makes them useful for colour-themed events alongside the blue sweets range.
Strawberry Tubes
The box of 12 Millions Strawberry tubes is the standard retail format. Each 55g tube contains the same strawberry Millions in a format that’s easier to portion and share than a bulk bag. Twelve tubes per box at £1 each makes this a practical buy for events, party bags or workplaces where you want individual portions rather than a large shared bag.
Apple Tubes
The box of 12 Millions Apple tubes brings a sharp green apple flavour in the same tube format. Apple is one of the more refreshing flavours in the Millions range: less sweet than strawberry, with a slightly tart edge that makes it good for people who find the sweeter flavours a bit much. Available in boxes of 12 tubes.
What Makes Millions Different
The format
Millions are categorised as a “chewy sugared sweet” but the texture is more complex than that description suggests. Each granule has a slight crunch when you first bite, then a chewier interior as you work through it. The granules are very small, roughly the size of a large grain of rice, which means you typically eat a handful at a time rather than one piece at a time. That changes the eating experience significantly compared to a standard gummy or boiled sweet.
The flavour intensity
The small size concentrates the flavour. A handful of Millions delivers a stronger flavour hit than a similarly sized quantity of most other sweets because the surface-area-to-volume ratio means more flavoured coating relative to the interior. It’s a format detail that makes a real difference to how they taste, and it’s one of the reasons people who discover Millions tend to become regular buyers fairly quickly.
Who makes Millions?
Millions are made by Tangerine Confectionery, a British sweet manufacturer that also produces Barratt sweets, Butterkist popcorn and a range of other British confectionery brands. Tangerine is one of the larger independent sweet manufacturers in the UK and the Millions range has been one of their most consistent performers. For a full breakdown of the flavours and history, the Millions sweets complete guide on The Hub covers everything in detail.
Buying Millions in Bulk
Bulk bags vs tubes
The bulk bag format is the better value option if you’re buying for a household or event and want to decant into a bowl or jar. The tube format is better for individual portions at events or parties where people are serving themselves. Both formats are available from £1, and free UK delivery applies on orders over £20.
Mixing flavours
Millions work well as part of a broader sweet selection. They’re small enough to fill gaps in a pick n mix bag and the flavours are distinct enough to stand out alongside larger sweets. The strawberry and apple flavours in particular complement most other fruit-flavoured sweets without clashing. For building a full pick n mix selection, the pick n mix online guide has practical advice on combining different sweet types.
