Hot Slut Of The Day!
Breyers Viennetta, the most luxurious and decadent frozen dessert found in your grocers freezer.
Watching Dynasty and Central Park West gave me a craving for the finer things in life, so obviously the beyond classy commercial for Breyers Viennetta appealed to all my senses and I begged my mother to buy me that shit whenever we went to the supermarket. It was like the Fancy Feast of frozen desserts. I mean, it had a European-sounding name and everything! Alexis Carrington definitely served it all her fancier dinner parties.
My dream was to eat it from the one glass champagne goblet we owned, which my mom stole from her office holiday party. And you had to eat it out of a crystal goblet or all the premium ice cream would turn into soup and the rich chocolatey layers would crumble. Viennetta only touches fine crystal.
My dream never came true, because my mom told me Viennetta was too expensive and only rich people bought that mess. She was right. It was kind of expensive for being a step below a Baskin-Robbins ice cream cake.
Oh well. If for some reason a baby falls from the sky and into my arms, I'm going to name him/her Viennetta.

OMG! I haven't thought about this shit in years. I so remember this commercial & thinking that this ice cream lasagna-looking shit looked delicious! Now it makes me gag... Ew.
I miss commercials like this.
Those aren't champagne glasses like some people are saying. They're dessert dishes. I have a set of crystal ones passed down from my grandmother. I do agree with another poster that ice cream tastes better out of one of them rather than a regular bowl though they don't hold as much.
They still make these in England and you can get them at grocery stores and they're not expensive there. At one point you could get them with the family meal at KFC.
Viennetta didn't taste that great, but then I was eating it out of a Teenage Mutant Minja Turtle bowl.
Has anybody ever wanted to serve their cat Fancy Feast in a goblet, just cause?

Another reason why I believe MK and I were separated at birth.
I used to love watching the Viennetta commercials. Not that I was really into sweets or anything, but to me that shit was like Lasagna meets ice cream. And no one could ever pry me away from a nice thick slice of lasagna.
I always dreamed of one day opening up my Late Grandma Millie's China Cabinet and eating a nice fat slice of Viennetta from her crystal glasses.
But that never happened. My parents were too cheap for that kind of shit and my Grandfather's damn-near senile "lady friend" (aka the old ass Gold digger who moved in after my Grandmother died) lost the damn key to the cabinet.

OMG! That takes me back. I always wanted to try it, but my mom would never buy it. Instead, she would get that Sara Lee double layer chocolate cake. I'm not complaining, though. That shit was awesome and I cannot find it anywhere around here now. I never see Viennetta either. I wonder if they still make it.

You know, maybe if you ate more comfort food, you wouldn't have to go around shooting people.

They were icky.
I bought one once and found it not as delicious as promised. Give me a tub of frozen Whipped cream and some Magic Shell any day!
As an aside I had to check the Maryland Judiciary case search, and there is a woman named Vienetta...
This actually reminds me of the Polaner All Fruit commercial. I always wanted my mom to buy this stuff, but she only bought Welch's Grape Jelly. :(

OMG I also wanted this soooo badly, but we couldn't afford it. If it still exists today, I'm so getting one next time I'm at the store, though I haven't seen the commercial in years-bad sign. Some dreams aren't meant to come true, I guess :(.

Do they make these anymore? My mother used to buy these all the time.

Fancy Feast of frozen desserts ? I love that
MK should've posted the British version (from Wall's Ice Cream) of the same ad for extra Alexisness!

Until just recently KFC here in the UK had Viennetta as it's desert of choice with a Bargain Bucket of chiken. That's how classy it is. It doesn't get any better than that!
OMG, I demanded this deliciousness for my 21st birthday party! I just remember how the snap-snap-snap sound of them cutting it in the commercials made me drool! Hot Slut of MY LIFE!
I bought one of these for our first anniversary, and my idiot boyfriend ate the whole thing by himself. (It's tiny, but even so.) I dumped his ass soon after, and never dared purchase another. Too painful! *sob*
Besides, frozen Pepperidge Farm Triple Fudge Layer Cake is cheaper. (Served that bitch at my wedding!)
no offense dudie but you make me feel so rich because at home we would just buy bulks of vienetta and eat em in front of TV scratching our balls. Did i say rich?
Viennetta! Oh how I always wanted to indulge in a slice of that!
The commercials made it out to be the fanciest of shit...thanks MK for the stroll down memory lane :)
When I think of things I'm thankful for, MK is at the top of the list...too funny !
Just Like A White Winged Dove
My mom used to LOVE to class up the whole family with Viennetta!! I hate that shit because me and my brother wanted real ice cream, not the human dessert version of Fancy Feast!

THE FULL RELEASE LOOP
What the underlying loop inside all of this really is

The sound of the BR
I'm thinking these things were about $5.99 back in the day.
That was as expensive as a Sunday roast.
The Pepperidge Farm cakes were always about $3.99.
Last month my store was selling them two-fer $3.
Do they sell this anymore? Haven't seen in the ice cream section. It looks mighty tasty!
I remember this commercial. I wanted this too, but never had the nerve to ask my Mom for it. I forgot all about it. Now I will look for it, yum.
MK, you slay me with these time warps! I remember my parents bought this shit once. Tasty, yeah, but really it was just vanilla ice cream with layers of Magic Shell in between.
I hate long-ass signatures.
Um I had Viennetta the other night after dinner? Dunno what you hoes are on about because they still sell it here. I win.
I remember this...it was GOOOOD!!!!
Much tastier than Baskin-Robins crap.

THAT IS SOOO FUNNY! I remember this shit!! The commercial must have aired every day during Days of our Lives in the 90's HAHA! I wouldnt even ASK my mom to buy something so classy. Never noticed that it looks like a lasagna!!
OMG! I remember this shit!
Though, I don't think I've ever tried one.
Hahahaa I totally remember this commercial from when I was a kid.
Everyone keeps talking about it being really expensive... how much did you have to throw down to get your hands on one of these grocer's freezer gourmet goodies? I'm curious now.

Found a water bottle filled with a bloody mary in my purse this morning. Blacked-out me is always trying to help hungover me, it's so cute.
Michael, you make me laugh out loud every single day! Thank you for dlisted.
I fucking love Viennetta. I just had it last week. That shit is expensive here too. I used to think it was soo fancy too! All european sounding and shit.

I always liked this commercial for the great hand acting. "Oh no, I couldn't have any. Why yes, I think I will!"
I was weird even when younger, so I was irritated by the noise of the serving knife hitting the plate (audible over the lame sax solo), and then grossed out by the way the cake-like thing smeared all over it. So, I never wanted it.
I REMEMBER THIS SHIT! Hahahahaha!
OH MY GOD. I used to eat those, my mom thought she was being healthy or something. I was recently trying to recall what they were. For answering one of my life's mysteries, I love you MK. Oh and they were okay, I always wanted another.

wtf happened to my post?
I was obsessed with this commercial because I wanted that ice cream so bad and my mom would not get it for me. I still want it actually.
Haha, I love reading about your childhood memories, MK. I always saw commercials for this shit but never had it. I don't think those made it out to the Bumfuck grocery stores. But if it's served on a silver platter then it must be good!
The German TV ad was better, you saw a spoon crack into it and then little chocolate splinters were flying around in super slow motion, accompanied by a delicious cracking sound. Shit, I'd love me some Viennetta now...

Auri sacra fames
OMG I always wanted to try this stuff. Hahah those bitches are about to fight over it at the end!
I rewatched that commercial and I don't get it. There's a total of 4 people - including the person serving the ice cream - at the table. Why didn't the fourth piece go to the person serving it? Is it possible that they're saying that Viennetta was fancy that it required servants, who weren't allowed to partake in the Viennetta orgy, to plate it in crystal goblets for you? Oh I love the 90s.

you make me touch your hands for stupid reasons
omg I've never had this, but I wanna try it now!

OMG thank you so much for posting this!! I completely forgot about it. Those commercials worked on me and it was my favorite ice cream for a while. Delicious.

Omg Vienetta!!! Haven't thought about that shit in ages. I can remember my mom buying it for some dinner party (cause we're all sophisicated like that), sadly we didn't eat in outta fancy wineglasses b/c my parents don't drink. Boo! It was kinda melty but alright.
Thank you for reminding me of this childhood memory of mine, as well. What kid didn't want to eat that mess out of a champagne glass? My mom would buy this stuff for "special occasions," which is totally weird because we had really good homemade-from-scratch desserts for everything else. Backwards-ass country family of mine!
I dreamed of eating this frozen delight the exact way you described it. I don't think I ever got to do it. :(
YES! This was the birthday treat of choice for anyone born in the summer, when my mother couldn't be bothered to bake or buy a cake. I didn't even realize they stopped making it at some point.
"Picking a favorite blog is like picking a favorite crackhead. I don't know if I can do it" (MK, you're my fave crackhead)
One thing that seems odd is I we used to have cheesecake that was really good when I was a kid. Can't find one that good now--maybe the memory just got intensified.
Aside from farrels, which was like eating at 21 for us, it was mostly dairy queen--pretty low rent in the ice cream scheme of things.
Then there were hostess products--ho, hos, twinkie, bannana split...
My mom, bless her heart, was a pretty bad cook, and most of my childhood food memories are not good.
