Product Name Analysis:

I'm confused by the name of this bar. To me, a drifter is somebody who is not purposeful in her pursuits, but allows fate to carry her hither and thither. I'm not sure what that has to do with "crispy wafer dipped in chewy caramel and covered in chocolate." Perhaps it is the perfect bar for somebody who doesn't know what she wants?

Packaging Analysis:

The package is a comfortable shade of dark blue, and the name of the bar is printed in red with a yellow border around each letter. The writing is a bit uneven and fanciful, which I think adds something: it would be less interesting if the letters were uniform. When I look at the letters, I begin to wonder if the "drifter" might actually refer to driftwood. The "E" and the "F" could be made up of pieces of wood that have been tossed by the sea--or maybe I just have an overactive imagination. The packaging doesn't have any design elements that hint at what's inside, but it's perfectly pleasant to look at.

Visual Analysis:

The product comes in two long sticks that look similar to Twix bars, but are longer and perhaps taller. The top of each stick has a slight pattern-it looks rippled like sand after the tide has gone out. The bottom of the bar has a diamond pattern, and there are a few flaws in the chocolate, mostly bubbles. When the bar is cut open, the layers create a pleasing patter. The outside is chocolate, followed by a thin layer of caramel, and then alternating layers of wafer cookies-perhaps chocolate and vanilla? Looking at it makes me want to bite it.

Flavor Analysis:

Very sweet and milky. You taste the chocolate first and then the caramel. The wafers mostly give it texture rather than flavor. Aftertaste is very sugary.

Mouthfeel:

Mouthfeel: Nice combination of gooey caramel and crispy wafer.

Summary:

I enjoy the way this bar feels when I bite it, but it's too sweet for me.
