Viennetta

I just figured out what the name of that dessert was. I used to see the advertisement on tv when I was a kid. You know the one with the hand model dinner guests that acted like they didn't want any dessert, until the host cut a piece of Vienntta for each of them, they wolf it down and see that there's one slice of Viennta left, but they don't want to beg, so they desperately wait until they can't take it anymore and then hold out their little fancy dessert cups: "One Slice Is Not Enough!"

For years I've been trying to remember the name and it just came to me. I always wanted to try it because it looked rich and fancy that I could never get as a kid, but I don't even think it's sold in the US anymore. Have any of you ever had it? What was it like? Is it still sold anywhere?

I remember that commercial....and the dessert!
The commercial made me want that damn ice cream every time lol, kudos to the advertising exec. there.
I tried it twice, and it was very tasty. A bit odd textured, but tasty.

I believe it was discontinued a few years back.

I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.

I forgot about that cake until I read your thread. It was vanilla ice cream cake with chocolate slivers through it. It was pretty good. Haven't seen it since the 80s.

I thought it was around in 1997~1999 thereabouts.
I have a memory of sharing it with a longtime boyfriend, around that time(?)

Hi fiat 

I remember my husband and I trying it when we lived together in this tiny little apartment. We lived there from 1986 - 1993, so you're probably right. It must have been the early 90s when I had it last.

I could sure go for a slice right now!
