Drifter is a tasty chocolate bar that has a biscuit base. It features a crunchy biscuit wafer with a layer of sweet caramel on top. The company Rowntree's first launched Drifter in 1980. Later, in 1988, Nestlé took over Rowntree's and started making the Drifter bar.
All About Drifter
Did you know that about 90 million Drifter bars are made every year? Even with so many made, they can be hard to find in many parts of the United Kingdom. One of its old advertising slogans called it "the chewy chocolate bar that you really have to get your teeth into."
Nestlé stopped making Drifter bars in 2007. But then, they brought it back in May 2008! This was similar to how Cadbury brought back their popular Wispa bar. Sadly, in early 2019, Nestlé stopped making Drifter bars again.
Drifter McFlurry
In June 2011, McDonald's introduced a special Drifter McFlurry. This was a limited edition ice cream treat. It was available from June 15 to July 26, 2011.
