Delta Cream
In the first post I called these overrated, and I stand by it.
I was considering that mainly in the context of the coveted Assorted Creams, arguably the best of the variety packs (although that may be my bias showing). It’s in tough competition - you’re unlikely to win any line-up with both the Kingston and Monte Carlo in it - but there’s just nothing special about the Delta Cream to me.
Deliciously smooth cream sandwiched between two chocolatey sweet biscuits, Arnott’s Delta Cream biscuits are an irresistible afternoon treat. Twist, split, dunk and devour!
And, sidebar, but I can’t believe that description. I’m willing to look past the biscuit appearance, but if you market this as a “twist and dunk”, you’re really asking for an Oreo fight, which you’re sadly outmatched in.
Anyway, back to the bickie. On paper, a vanilla cream and chocolate biscuit should be a knock-out. Sadly, it falls flat. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fine, but it isn’t great. In the Assorted Creams, it’s not your first pick (it’s not your last pick either, but I’ll save clowning on the Orange Slice 🤢 for another day.)
That’s all it comes down to for me. I don’t dislike them, but I wouldn’t buy a packet of them on their own. The Delta Cream simply lets me down. I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed.
