Monday Memories: Nabisco Dixie Drumsticks

Monday Memories: Did I ever tell you about Nabisco Dixie Drumstick Crackers?

In the early 1980s my mom worked at the local grocery store. Our town was so small that we had just two supermarkets: a Safeway and then a family owned business. She worked at the family owned one. She therefore brought home new items and a bag of groceries just about every day.

One item that I had to constantly eat was Nabisco Dixie Drumstick crackers. They were shaped like chicken legs and they had a chickeny-salty seasoning on them that I couldn't get enough of.

Then they were discontinued. Why must products go away into the annals of history? So many great foods have been lost due to the trends of the day.

But recently while trying to find out about my memory of these crackers I discovered that Nabisco still manufactures them in Australia! I don't know if I'll order any from the available sites that list them for sale, but I am tempted. I've long since forgotten how they actually tasted. All I recall is how delicious they were, how I constantly ate them. The seasoning was so yummy that I'd eat the crumbs in the box!
