Drifter is a biscuit-based chocolate bar. Rowntree's[2] launched Drifter in 1980, consisting of a biscuit wafer with caramel layered on top. Nestlé now produces the biscuit following their takeover of Rowntree's in 1988.
About[edit]
90 million bars are produced each year,[3] but they are becoming increasingly hard to find in most parts of the United Kingdom. Among its advertising slogans, it has been referred to as 'the chewy chocolate bar that you really have to get your teeth into.'
In 2007, Nestlé discontinued Drifter before reintroducing it in May 2008, enjoying a similar act of nostalgia as Cadbury'sWispa bar. In early 2019 Drifter was discontinued by Nestlé.[citation needed]
McFlurry[edit]
It's been far too long! Drifter 0.8.4 is now live! This is the fifth release in the 0.8.x series, codename 'Event Horizon'. I'm continuing to work on finalizing the various bits and pieces of the game that need to be done for 1.0 but in the meantime I've got a lot of fixes and quality of life improvements rolled up into 0.8.4. My plan is to go back to a more regular update schedule going.
In June 2011, McDonald's introduced a limited edition Drifter McFlurry which was available from 15 June until 26 July 2011.[4]

- DRIFTER, by the bluegrass band Volume Five, is a very good album of solid, great sounding bluegrass music and vocals. These guys have a wonderful, almost classic, bluegrass sound, and for me, nearly every tune shares a close kinship with many of the classics from days long gone.
