Some of the veteran Ozbargain generation may recall the In a Biscuit - Dixie Drumstix.
For some, they were considered one of, if not, best artificially flavoured/salt-laden cracker
However they appear to have been discontinued in the last few years and are no longer available.
Despite petitions and facebook groups they are still unavailable and continue to be pined for.
When browsing Coles last week i noticed The Natural Cracker Co. Farmhouse Cheddar Crispy Crackers available at half price and thought i'd try some.
Wow, as you should've guessed by now, it tasted just like Dixie Drumstix!
Having not had Dixie's for as long as I can remember - the mixture of salt, cheese, onion powder (with natural flavours) with the light flakey biscuity texture captured the essence of the Dixie's in a way I had not experienced before.
So in case there are any other Dixie Drumstix aficionados out there i thought I'd share my experience. They should still be half price until tomorrow.
I went to get some more yesterday but they were cleared out. It was also quite surprising that only the Cheddar variety was gone, so that demonstrated that, Dixie Drumstix comparison aside, they should be still be a tasty snack. Admittedly the other flavours sounded a bit underwhelming for a cracker.
Finally given Arnott's Shapes are probably the most popular cracker brand i thought I'd do a customary poll to see which flavour is the most popular/well-regarded
