Drifter


Had one just now.


Weight is up to 60g from the 54g one shown on site.


I feel it has gone back to it's original taste (it went nasty a while back).


I really enjoyed it!

I love Drifter bars. They always seemed creamy and chewy in a similar way to Tunnock Wafers. However, the last time I had one (about six months) it tasted overpoweringly sweet and I have not touched one since. I am glad you noticed the change too Paulham cos it tells me I am not just too fussy or getting funny tastes in my old age.

It had that old "buttery" taste to the caramel again.

Me too! I actually prefer them to Kit Kats. Love the soft chewy texture to them.

I have never tried a 'Drifter', or 'Double Decker' for that matter.


Think I have some catching up to do....

Drifters are gorgeous! You have been missing out Chocoholic! Imagine a Twix but with wafer instead of biscuit - two sticks of bliss!

So nice!


I am in pain today. I did a "Spinning" class at the gym last night and now have a sore "gooch" (that being the bit between the balls and the ass crack...) I think it may be bruised...

I don't think it ever went out of production. The quote you attribute to Nestle actually came from a marketing e-news site (Paulham may remember which one, I've forgotten), and I wouldn't mind betting some lazy copywriter remembers Nestle briefly reintroducing the retro brown Drifter packaging, assumed it was a relaunch and didn't bother to check.

Drifters used to be nice but they're way too sweet now.

My God. This is an old post. I'd forgotten all about Lemoneye! How could I forget those wonderfully friendly exchanges we used to have? And why on earth was he posting about his crotch in the middle of a post about Drifter?

On some forums they get a bit sniffy if you start a new topic for something that's already got one (remember Bring it Back?)
