Viennetta to comeback this year (US)

[jbug617]

Fret not, though, because nostalgia is a hell of a profit opportunity. Good Humor announced that after 30 years, the beloved Viennetta is returning to the dessert aisle freezers, along with a ton of other new frozen items. For now it'll only be available in vanilla, though chocolate, mint, and pistachio versions have been available over the years. No partnerships with KFC or Pizza Hut, which originally carried the dessert on their menus, have been announced.

This was so good back when I was a kid.

 

[Dodongo]

Hell yeah, those looked so good in the commercials.

 

[TitlePending]

WHHHAAAATTT?

I'm in for at least one. Although I doubt it'll be as good as I remember.

 

[John Rabbit]

Fuck yeah.

 

[siteseer]

praise 2021.

 

[Turbowaffles]

So.... when? Can I go to the grocery store RIGHT NOW and get one?

 

[Camwi]

Fuck yeah, all over my face!

 

[RecRoulette]

Like everything that comes back after a long period of time, it won't taste as good as you remember.

That said, I never got a chance to get one of these so bring it the fuck on

 

[Menchi]

Funnily enough I had a Mint one the other day. Lovely things

 

[Jimnymebob]

Hopefully these are more impressive than the Walls ones in the UK because they're awful.

 

[Dennis8K]

2021 is looking up.

 

[Wingfan19]

Hooooooooly shit! I've never had one, but I remember those commercials vividly. I'm so buying one if I see it in the stores. You can't stop me mom!!!

 

[SeanShards]

 

[Silvergun-Blue]

Ice cream lasagna!

I remember the last time somebody mentioned it not being available over there I got a craving for it and nipped out to the shop to buy one.

 

[FTF]

Wow I've never tried this but have always wanted to!

 

[Cess007]

As a kid, I used to want one of those so much lol I think they are still available in Mexico tho 🤔

Edit. Wait, it's that Tim Roth on that Viennetta commercial?

 

[TronLight]

Did it ever go away?

 

[Xiao Hu]

Wait...Americans had been deprived of the best ice cream you can get in a supermarket for 30 years? What the hell, I'm so sorry for you :(

Ha wow so it really is ice cream lasagna.

 

[ManNR]

Holy crap. Its really been out of stores for 30 years?

 

[NekoNeko]

i buy these like once a year when guests come over and i don't want to make something myself.

 

[fick]

can't wait to tell my wife. She's so sad she can't get it here

edit: she devil already saw :(

 

[bastardly]

as a kid i thought this and grey poupon were the utmost highest tier of food

 

[i_am_ben]

They still have this in Australia. It's actually pretty good!

 

[Boat Times]

There is no way this hasn't been in stores for 30 years. I'm 32 and I know I've had them throughout my life. Can't recall having them in awhile, though, but definitely in my childhood and even teenage years.

 

[wbloop]

Didn't know Viennetta was basically in the same situation like the McRib.

Something that you are able to get anytime in Germany, but is super limited in the US. Weird.

 

[Horp]

This shit was good. I hope it comes back here in Sweden too.

Nah this isn't like the McRib. Viennetta has been completely discontinued for nearly 20 years in the US.

 

[Volimar]

They could have made so much bank during the pandemic last year. Still will, I'm sure.

 

[CostcoCousteau]

Fuck yeah, all over my face!

[Shades]

These felt like ultimate decadence as a kid

Yeah, you can get it in grocery stores.

Normal Viennetta is decent (available in Vanilla, Mint and Strawberry in the UK..as well as a new limited edition chocolate orange flavour)...

..but the king (that returned to the UK late 2020)...

... is Biscuit Caramel Vienetta.
Caramel and vanilla Ice cream, with crisp caramel layers instead of chocolate, a layer of crunchy caramel biscuit at the base and caramel nibs on top.

I currently have four in the freezer.

 

[julia crawford]

I have enjoyed this every summer and then some for the last thirty years.

It's part of the family.

 

[vixolus]

I have never heard of these but this doesn't look appetizing in the slightest even though it's just ice cream and chocolate sauce fancily layered.

 

[Xbox Live Mike]

I just tried Nuttela first time and really liked it, I've never had this so I will try this as well.

 

[Human Resources]

oh my god

 

[Pickman]

2021 really has been a roller coaster of a year so far.

 

[Muppet of a Man]

2021 you motherfucker! YOU HAVE DELIVERED US FROM THE HELL OF 2016 THRU 2020!

David Lynch is a phrophet:

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

Wow! This was my birthday tradition for the first ten years of my life!

 

[WhySoDevious]

I had completely forgotten about these... hopefully my supermarket will have them.

 

[bawjaws]

This shit never went away in the UK.
