Tried this Viennetta version, and can honestly say it was a let-down. No where near as good as Breyer's version. The Good Humor version is a "frozen dairy dessert", where the Breyer's was a premium ice cream dessert. Good Humor uses "chocolate flavored" layers, where Bryer's had crisp chocolate layers. Yeah, another case of not being able to relive the past because it only disappoints.😏
Breyers always did have the best ice cream, until the super premium brands like Ben and Jerry’s came along. Sadly now Breyers whips tons of air in so it’s not as good :(
I grew up very, very poor and only had Viennetta twice in my childhood, but I loved it so much and it was so special I remember it very vividly, and remember how delicious it was. I still love the old commercials!
I was just about to comment how I remember saving change as a little kid to buy this for myself just once because I felt bad asking for it. Major memory anytime I see it in stores now. 🥺
Same here. But my aunt always had one in the freezer, and my cousin & I would inevitably eat the whole thing whenever we'd have a sleepover. It was worth every word of scolding.
I was a legit Viennetta connoisseur! What made it great was the breyers vanilla with the actual visible vanilla seeds. By far the superior vanilla. The good humor one just doesn’t hit the same
Agree it's not as good as the original, quality is lower in the ice cream in particular. Still I'm glad it's back. It's nice to have it for the nostalgia.
I VIVIDLY remember when I was a kid and turkey lunchables had a weird mini carton of Dijon mustard that you had to fold in half, and an Andes mint as the “candy” 😍
Yes, that was the “deluxe” version, if I remember right. Also: I wish that container of mustard (or other condiments) took off here in the US. They use those in other countries, like Japan.
They sell Viennetta at my local Family Dollar in Southern New Jersey for $6. I grew up thinking it was the pinnacle of wealth and super fancy 😂. I buy it every now and again lol
What size is a pack of Viennetta where you from? A pack of Viennetta here costs around 2€ (which is now almost the same as in $) but its only 650 ml which is around 22 Oz i think (im crap with imperial measurements).
@@Luciele last time I saw it in my super market and looked at the price it was only 1,60 Euro, but that was last year... it probably gone up now, thanks P... - I really have to agree with Emmy here, it really taste a bit simple now, compared to other ice cream you can buy. I do remember, how much I did like it. That was before we had the gelato ice cream places with fresh ice.
It's the "Ferrero Rocher" effect. We're told it's super fancy and we grow up believing it. But hey it felt like a huge deal as kids and our parents could treat us and make us feel nice without breaking the bank. It also helped that you had to serve it in a plate and eat it with a spoon, so it made it even more fancy than just a popsicle or a cone.
I told my boyfriend the same thing, that I thought it was a rich people thing as a kid, so now we have these all the time and we like to hum Boccherini's Minuet while we open and cut them.
I agree about the packaging. I didnt grow up with a lot of money, and so whenever my parents bought a Vienetta it felt like such a super special treat. Like I was having something fancy that rich people and movie stars would be eating. xD
I'm from Ireland and it has been continually available in Ireland and the UK (among other countries). Always like a Vienetta. It's simple but delicious.
I am so glad you mentioned how the place to puncture a caprisun used to be metallic 😂 I remember it was harder to puncture before it was clear plastic. I used to make it go through the back so much.
As a child of the 90's, the wonder ball was my absolute favorite candy! I have such good memories surrounding it. And I used to have this Lolli pop that looked like a painters brush and you dipped it onto a 'paint pot' that was filled with purple candy, really good
Oh my God, Emmy is eating all the fancy rich kid food right now and I am loving the nostalgia. Not that we got to have a kid cuisine a lot let alone bougie ice cream, but I remember those commercials 😂
Same. I didn’t get Kids Cuisines, I got those Swanson Fun Feasts and they were terrible 😂 my mom often got them from the food pantry, it was basically just “here kid, now shut up and eat”
When I had kid cuisine, the “brownie” was never fully cooked, it was kind of like a hot pudding sort of situation. Having people mention the brownie, I was so confused because I didn’t think of it as a brownie but it was soooo good ☺️
I would only ever buy the ones that had the brownie, Id have like 2 bites of the chicken nuggets, stab my still frozen mashed potatoes and then devour the goo.
I NEVER ONCE had Viennetta as a kid, despite wanting to try it SO badly. I knew it'd come back recently, but wasn't ever able to find it. Thank you for posting this - I live in RI as well and just checked my local Stop & Shop and supposedly they have it. I'll be popping in there first thing tomorrow morning to check!!!
I think there was an Andes mint in the basic lunchables we had in the late 80s and 90s. I can so relate to all these things! Thanks for the walk down memory lane!
Thank you, Emmy, for taking one for the team and biting the whole roll of gum. I always wanted to do that too but couldn’t waste it….. now I don’t want to buy gum I don’t even like to try it. So I lived through you in that moment!
Vienetta used to be served at kids birthday parties here in Ireland, and is still sold in shops! The packaging of the one you have is almost identical to what we have here, although Good Humor is branded as HB in Ireland. So good to see you tasting my favourite childhood treat! Although, I was a sucker for the mint version!
Holy nostalgia, Batman! Especially the gum section. I, too, always longed to chomp into a bubble tape...but have never done it! When you described dried up gum, I IMMEDIATELY tasted Fruit Stripe gum, which was notoriously hard and crumbly, but I preferred it because it had a better flavor than bubble gum. Also viennetta, the epitome of fancy in the 90s. Goodness, that was fun :D
Fruit Stripe was always horrible! 😅 My favorite was always Chewels, which was a gum that was really soft, in a square pillow shape, and had gel inside it so that when you bit into it, it would kind of ooze. Off-putting when I think about it now, but it was always my favorite.
Viennetta, my sister and I ate those all the time, so yummy. Our mom would pick them up, eat them with the girl Scout cookies. I had a great childhood. RIP mom. 🧡
All the 90’s gum iterations were awesome. Bubble Jug, Ouch bubble gum bandaids that came in that tin, when BubbleYum came out with Cotton Candy flavored gum. Endless joy.
Oh the nostalgia, especially rolling up the bubblegum tape without even thinking about it, just an automatic thing, lol. Vienetta was so good in the 90s, I'd forgotten it even existed. The 90s was a really good decade in retrospect.
Emmy, you ripped out my heat when you said a CapriSun you didn’t like was “Something Cooler” Pacific Cooler was my favorite! 😂Still to this day I’ll buy a pack a few times a year 🤣
I always thought they all tasted pretty much the same, with only slight variations of flavor, aside from the grape one which for some reason sticks out in my memory.
Emmy, we still have Viennetta in England. Not only the vanilla choc variety but also mint choc too! We still buy it as a desert sometimes and it's always gone in a flash! 😁
I have been disappointed by Breyer's, which is easily confused with Dreyer's. In my own opinion, between the 2, Dreyer's has superior quality and flavor to Breyer's.
@@lizhustedt4254 There should be a law against that. Breyer's and Dreyer's is confusing enough already. That's like saying that as soon as you cross the state line celery is called plywood; they both taste the same so they should only have one name.
Vienetta (sold under the Walls brand, which has the same heart logo as that "Good Humor" brand there) never went away over here in the UK, it just shrank, a lot, like a ridicluously huge amount smaller now than back in the 90s, and we still have the mint one, which I think is the more popular one, but these days it's not really as popular as it used to be, as nice as it is, though I haven't had one for a number of years now, and by one, yes, I mean I had it to myself, they're so small it's pretty much a one serving thing now... :P
To be fair, they're only £1 (or at least they were until 'stuff' happened, I haven't looked recently). They were 72p in 1985, so the price was basically static for 37 years - it's probably reasonable if they're a bit smaller now. Just buy 2!
Same in Australia, it’s pretty much been around the whole time (though the other flavours are long gone). Shrunk, been discontinued at least once for a short period, plus pretty expensive (but I kinda remember it always being kind of expensive). Currently $8.00, but I think it’s been much higher at times in the past 15 years. Made by Streets (same as Walls/Good Humor). We don’t buy from them anymore, because of union busting and offshoring much of their local production.
In Portugal we still have it, and it's still popular, so it's funny to see it thought of as a throwback. There's other flavours of Vienneta too, like caramel, chocolate, strawberry...
As an adult I admit to buying Capri Sun once in a blue moon. Really was the only "kids drink" I ever liked growing up. I recall my family trying the Vienetta once or twice. But we ended up preferring the Pepperidge Farm freezer cakes ( those are still amazing imo).
My aunt brought over a Viennetta once, I loved it so much that I still check the ice cream isle at least a few times a year. Sad that they’re not using quality ingredients but I’m still going to try one. The packaging was definitely much nicer back then.
I love living vicariously through you, Emmy! That big bite of Hubba Bubba is something I've always wanted to do, but doubt I'll ever be able to bring myself to. I enjoy pretending to be a lizard far too much
i don't remember having the urge to take a bite out of it, mostly just because when I chewed gum I would chew like 3 or 4 sticks at a time so for those rolls when I had them I just made REALLY long sticks of gum
They were selling them at Grocery Outlet couple of weeks ago. I bought one to share with my kids and grands. These were my best friend (of over 50 years) and I's favorite fancy desert when we were in our early-mid 20's. We grew up in rural Iowa/Illinois and fancy food was something we loved.
Yes these cost around one euro here in Finland making it the cheapest "cake" you can get, and I think its the only ice cream cake that we have available.
I had Vienneta as a kid, teenager, adult. It never discontinued in France. It's simple and easy to share. The caramel one is the best with a great cookie at the bottom.
Vienetta was never discontinued here in Sweden. We have at least 2-3 different flavors , and over here they are made by GB Glace. There has also been other ice-cream brands making a similar thing.
The Vienetta ice cream cake 😭😭 I loved this stuff when I was a kid! My grandma every time she visited would bring it. I got some last month when home visiting family & it was skits so nostalgic 🖤🖤
I’ve been trying to remember the name of Viennetta for yeeeeeears. I remember eating this a lot as a kid but I forgot the name and then started mixing it up with the also defunct Blue Bunny ice cream roll (also a fave). You just unlocked a memory!!
Thank you for reviewing everything for us. We appreciate everything you do. I honestly was ever expected you to review something like Lunchables. You are a special type of person that appreciates all kinds of foods including children's favorites. Unlike other reviewers or celebrity chefs that will not eat, let alone review a lunchable. You are amazing Emmy!.
The Kid Cuisine must've changed their formulas, because back when I had them, the brownies always turned hard as a rock like 30 seconds after you took it out of the oven and got one tiny little perfectly cooked part you could actually eat while the rest just sort of stuck to the tray thingie.
I wouldn't say that my father keeps a box of Viennetta in his freezer for emergency purposes, but I wouldn't say he doesn't either. Love it, had it as my birthday cake (summer kid) multiple times.
Yes, Emmy, my neighborhood always used to bring it up to us every Sunday in 90s it was a symbol of wealth in Italy expecially during the Sunday lunchs 🥰😍🤩👍
When I was a kid in 2000s, Vienettas were made by Good Humor (or Wall's here in Indonesia) and it was always the epitome of dessert for me as a kid, they also discontinued it and it came back 2 years ago and I was SO EXCITED
I remember that when I was a kid the Lunchables that we got came with two different kinds of crackers, meats, and cheeses, and they also came with a little squeezy blister pack of Grey Poupon mustard. I fell in love with the combo of the meats and crackers with Grey Poupon.
For some reason I remember something like this being part of the Swanson's delivery truck. The big difference being that it came in a shiny aluminum tin with a white top. I remember being so excited when my mom said we could order it once as a kid.
So much memories rushing back! Definitely wanted to bite the gum tape whole when I was younger as well! These were fun I recommend to do more videos like this!!
The baseball card gum just unlocked a childhood memory and I can almost taste that stale gritty bubblegum flavor. 🤣 My grandmother served Vienetta once when I was a kid during a holiday party and it felt very fancy and formal and grown-up. It tasted amazing.
Vienetta was a dessert staple in our household when I was growing up. It was never discontinued in Australia that I'm aware of. I've always been able to buy it whenever I wanted it. My kids love it too.
My goodness, Viennetta! I'm a coffee flavor lover and we had a espresso flavored Viennetta here. I've loved it as a youngster until far into my teenage years until it disappeared. Now I settle for tiramisu but I still remember that deep, dark coffee flavor of that Viennetta. 😋
I've been trying to hunt down Viennetta since its re-release. I recall the commercials for back in the day and was always sort of fascinated by it, but my extremely frugal mom would never buy it for us. She always used the excuse that my older sister had bought one and was disappointed because it was too small for the price they were charging. I did get a ton of Lunchables and Capri Suns, though. The turkey and swiss was my favorite Lunchable. I remember always having them at swim meets and Tae Kwon Do.
I still get bubble tape whenever I remember how great it is and it's available. We were too poor to ever get vienneta. 89 baby here so I remember all of these and being excited to get them. I loved lunchables. Had them every week. Pizza, hot dogs, nachos, ham and cheese.
Oh wow! Viennetta is a Christmas tradition in my family. It's still available in Australia but has succumb to shrinkflation, so the cake is tiny now. After Christmas dinner we bust out the Viennetta for dessert. It always felt so fancy as a kid, especially when my Mum would give us tiny dainty spoons to eat it with. Thanks Emmy!!
I FORGOT ABOUT VIENNETTA. We saw the commercials for it when I was little and finally my mom decided to bring some home and we tried it. We all agreed it was good, but not as good as the commercial made it out to be. lol What you're describing makes it sound like they changed the ice cream, though, because when we had it back then the ice cream was pretty creamy, not like ice cream sandwich ice cream. And you're right about the box being different. The box was dark green, definitely not bright blue. Thank you for restoring this buried childhood memory!!!
I hadn't thought about this ice cream in over 20 years until I saw a 90's themed post about it earlier today. Now a few hours later I see you posted a new video and my mind is blown!
It was my dad’s favorite. My mom would occasionally find it at Albertsons. Glad it made a come back. Still haven’t seen it in the store yet. This is so nostalgic.
I remember vienetta. I had it as a child and an adult. It is still good. The bubble tape was my favorite. The frozen foods also were good to. But sometimes we had chicken soup 🍲 and ham and cheese sandwiches 🥪. God Bless to the good times. Take care. Mari'a. 👍👍👍👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗💃💃💃💃💃💃❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😀😀😀😀
I never got to have ANY of these things but lunchables, because my parents were holdover hippies, but my 90s kid childhood was spent COVETING them. Lunchables I got sometimes for field trips. But thank you so much for assuaging my own need to just bite the heck into the side of a roll of Bubble Tape. Does anyone else remember the 'It's six feet of bubble gum! For YOU! Not THEM.' jingle?
They relaunched Vienetta in Mexico too under the Holanda brand (same brand that makes the Magnum ice cream bars). It's actually very rare to find Vanilla Vienetta (if they even make it), you'll only find chocolate and cappuccino flavors.
I live in AZ and am now wondering if some of that might make it up into some local stores here. I genuinely miss the mint flavor... but the cappuccino sounds divine.
@@TheLadyBlerd it's great, the coffee flavor gives it a more "adult" flavor instead of pure sugar, sort of like tiramisu. Check out if any latin markets near you carries the Holanda brand!
Recently found a westcoast copy Of this “Viennetta” at my favorite grocer. Had no idea what it was. Showed my fiancé and she immediately had a flashback to her childhood. She demanded I buy as many as I could. Her first bite, brought her to tears, as she was now back to being a child again. Big, sobbing, Ghibli tears.
Vienetta was a staple of my family's Sunday lunches in the UK in the late 80s along with Le Piat d'Or wine and then screaming rows between my parents...
I love that Fruit Gushers came back recently and are still popular 🤓 At the part now with the Sriracha sauce. Happy you getting your taste back and love Sriracha just exist. Makes alot of things instantly better 😌
I too enjoyed the Viennetta. It appears that Good Humor and Breyers are now the same company. They discontinued Choco Taco for a while when they unified as one business. Looks like some marketing guru is trying to build sales! I always enjoy watching you, from recipes to retro appliances and everything in between. Glad to hear your sense of taste and smell are returning.
I so SO appreciate that you always rate things for what they are 8:45 It's super nice to see someone who gives leeway and understanding that it's not meant to be Home Made Baked Mac n Cheese Super Fancy, it's microwaved food. If it's pretty good, that's great!
Hey Emmy ☺💜 I noticed you don't censor the word Covid in your recent videos, if you're getting demonetized and don't know why then it may be because apparently it's a trigger keyword for youtube's automated video review/inspection ! Hope you have a great day Emmy, and thanks for this nostalgic throwback video 😁
This awoke a memory that I forgot about. My neighbors used to get this!! They had that truck that delivered frozen meats and ice creams come and it was always in their freezer
I only had Vienetta at my Grandma’s. She was fancy and always had unique foods for us to try. I loved that about her ❤. For years I couldn’t remember the name of it and kept Googling “ice cream lasagna” with no luck, then they brought it back! Now I just have to find it.
I’ve never heard of Vienetta, despite growing up in the 90’s. I wish I had, though! I probably would’ve loved it. All the other items are so nostalgic. 😊
I love all your videos, but I don't think Ive ever laughed at one of your videos so much. I'm too old to have had these in the 80s, but I do remember the Viennetta commercials and thinking that lunchables were appalling even back then. Watching your excitement and delight at these was so heartwarming. You look so genuinely excited about these - your delight is infectious. Keep them coming!
I was an adult and lived in Texas when I saw my first Vienetta commercial. It made the product seem so elegant. I purchased it one time and remember being disappointed. I thought a scoop of really good ice cream with cake would have been better. I don’t remember finishing the product.
Viennetta is still a popular dessert in UK and Ireland, it was never discontinued here, its always been available, in several different flavours including original, mint, double chocolate. I remember it fondly from childhood but also get it sometimes as an adult.
I remember seeing the Viennetta commercials when I was watching The Price Is Right in the 80s, and thinking, because of the commercial, that it was the epitome of fancy grown up desserts. Sadly, I never tried it because my mom didn’t like it, and once I was able to buy my own stuff I just didn’t think of it. I’ll have to try this new iteration 😊
You can still get it here in the UK and I get it sometimes. My parents were teenagers in the 80s and had it then. My granny served it for pudding to my family when we visited during the 2000s and 2010s. Good memories.
funny how Viennetta is seen as a fancy ice cream & was discontinued?! here (in Vienna lol) you can buy it like any ice cream, not expensive or anything hard to find & has been there since I was born (1996)
I used the Capri Sun as ice packs for the lunches. They would still be slushy at lunch time. They also make good ice packs for the bumps and bruises that energetic kids get.
I'm originally from Portugal and we've always had Viennetta. I'm not sure it's ever been stopped over there. They've added different flavours my favourite being caramel biscuit it's so good.

As a kid I thought Viennetta was the height of sophistication for desserts. My parents just rolled their eyes.
Same here, I bought one when they brought them back and was really disappointed 😢
Hahahaha! I thought the same thing. I still buy it sometimes cause I can.
Same
Same! 😆
Love the gummy lunchable…. Tried it with my niece… Lunchables were pretty expensive so I always envied the kids that had them
I grew up very, very poor and only had Viennetta twice in my childhood, but I loved it so much and it was so special I remember it very vividly, and remember how delicious it was. I still love the old commercials!

Here's to all the parents who didn't have money but got the fancy stuff once in a while. We were poor too, but I know they made sacrifices for us ❤
I was a teen in the 90s, and I think bought it for myself twice. We were poor, but my mom was very health conscious. She rarely bought ice-cream.
I was a legit Viennetta connoisseur! What made it great was the breyers vanilla with the actual visible vanilla seeds. By far the superior vanilla. The good humor one just doesn’t hit the same

My mom would NEVER let us touch HER Vienetta lol. “That’s why I got the bucket of ice cream for you guys.”
Yep and when you finally got some it was gross
@@vilenationgaming 😂 right. I’ll stick to the bucket thanks mom
They were ripped off lol More like ice milk
I agree about the packaging. I didnt grow up with a lot of money, and so whenever my parents bought a Vienetta it felt like such a super special treat. Like I was having something fancy that rich people and movie stars would be eating. xD
That was my experience also.
I am absolutely in the “I can trace my love of cheese boards back to my love of lunchables” camp 🤣
I was OBSESSED with Bubble Tape as a kid. I can almost taste the sour green apple just thinking about it!
That one was my favorite as well!
yesss I was just thinking I loved the gum tape but didn't recognize the flavor... sour green apple was the one!
I am 50 years old with grown children and grandchildren and I still love it, lol. I actually just bought some today. 😂
They were all amazing including the original! :D I'd pull a big piece of it hoping to blow super big bubbles.
The flavor would be gone in two seconds though 😭
I'm from Ireland and it has been continually available in Ireland and the UK (among other countries). Always like a Vienetta. It's simple but delicious.
Same in Italy, it was never discontinued and I believe there are still several different options available, including a tiramisù one!
Yea, it never went away here in Sweden either 😅 Its great, Very underrated 😊
Yeah same here in Poland and Germany
Same in the Netherlands
Same in Portugal, never has been disconinued, kinda confused ngl
I am so glad you mentioned how the place to puncture a caprisun used to be metallic 😂 I remember it was harder to puncture before it was clear plastic. I used to make it go through the back so much.
As a child of the 90's, the wonder ball was my absolute favorite candy! I have such good memories surrounding it. And I used to have this Lolli pop that looked like a painters brush and you dipped it onto a 'paint pot' that was filled with purple candy, really good
When lunchables were first released they came with an lovely herbed mayonnaise or a spicy mustard sauce. The sauces really elevated them.
I miss the herb dressing
I miss the herb mayo and the little Andes mint!!
I miss the mustard. I remember its flavor EXACTLY.
I loved that spicy mustard! Don't forget about Snickers bite size!
I remember the squeeze packets in the big flat Lunchables. Those were so good! Deluxe was delicious.
Oh my God, Emmy is eating all the fancy rich kid food right now and I am loving the nostalgia. Not that we got to have a kid cuisine a lot let alone bougie ice cream, but I remember those commercials 😂
Vienetta isn't bougie
Same. I didn’t get Kids Cuisines, I got those Swanson Fun Feasts and they were terrible 😂 my mom often got them from the food pantry, it was basically just “here kid, now shut up and eat”
When I had kid cuisine, the “brownie” was never fully cooked, it was kind of like a hot pudding sort of situation. Having people mention the brownie, I was so confused because I didn’t think of it as a brownie but it was soooo good ☺️
Hot brownie goo. That craved vanilla ice cream!😋
I ate it too much as a kid and became a pro at getting the brownie just right. 🤗
I just popped it out of the container and ate it frozen like a fudge bar
Mine was always over cooked
I would only ever buy the ones that had the brownie, Id have like 2 bites of the chicken nuggets, stab my still frozen mashed potatoes and then devour the goo.
I NEVER ONCE had Viennetta as a kid, despite wanting to try it SO badly. I knew it'd come back recently, but wasn't ever able to find it. Thank you for posting this - I live in RI as well and just checked my local Stop & Shop and supposedly they have it. I'll be popping in there first thing tomorrow morning to check!!!
Try Aldi, I found it there for 2.99.
It's not the same. Different company, lower quality.
well? did you find it? report back tomorrow.
@@ChristopherStandardTime I never found it!! I'll have to look again once it gets more into summer. Surely they'll have them then?!
I do remember viennetta . My grandma always had an old one in the freezer covered with a nice layer of freezer burn.
I think there was an Andes mint in the basic lunchables we had in the late 80s and 90s. I can so relate to all these things! Thanks for the walk down memory lane!
Lunchables used to be made by Oscar Mayer in Madison, Wisconsin; Andes mints are made in Delavan, Wisconsin.
I remember a spicy mustard packet that came with the early ones, as well.
"So, that wasn't nearly as satisfying as I had imagined, as a child." You don't say? Shrieking with nostalgic laughter; thanks for posting!
Thank you, Emmy, for taking one for the team and biting the whole roll of gum. I always wanted to do that too but couldn’t waste it….. now I don’t want to buy gum I don’t even like to try it. So I lived through you in that moment!
I used to love kids cuisine! though I remember the brownie always being a bit of a mixed bag due to stray pieces of corn often getting cooked in
Totally!😂
lmao. True. Though I really liked eating the brownie still frozen. Was kinda like a thick fudge yumm
the corn brownie is my memory too lol
You just unlocked a deeply hidden memory. The corn brownie!!
@@Beetlejam837THE CORN BROWNIE!
Biting into the hubba bubba roll was so inherently chaotic! Love it.
I was born in '76. I remember all of that and more.
Great times. I miss those times a lot. Especially now.
Emmy you should make your own version of the Viennetta!
Up
Vienetta used to be served at kids birthday parties here in Ireland, and is still sold in shops! The packaging of the one you have is almost identical to what we have here, although Good Humor is branded as HB in Ireland. So good to see you tasting my favourite childhood treat! Although, I was a sucker for the mint version!
It’s still sold in the UK. I bought one last summer.
We used to have it for any celebration growing up (in Ireland) firm favourite in our family.
I grew up in Ireland eating them but tried in the US a year ago and it was not comparable
@@Dsbeat7000 It’s probably more chemicals than allowed in Europe. Here it was still the same as I remembered it.
Need more than one for a birthday party. Barely enough for dessert for a family of 4
Holy nostalgia, Batman! Especially the gum section. I, too, always longed to chomp into a bubble tape...but have never done it! When you described dried up gum, I IMMEDIATELY tasted Fruit Stripe gum, which was notoriously hard and crumbly, but I preferred it because it had a better flavor than bubble gum. Also viennetta, the epitome of fancy in the 90s. Goodness, that was fun :D
FRUIT STRIPE GUM! 🦓🌈
@@emmymade yikes, stripes!
Fruit Stripe was always horrible! 😅 My favorite was always Chewels, which was a gum that was really soft, in a square pillow shape, and had gel inside it so that when you bit into it, it would kind of ooze. Off-putting when I think about it now, but it was always my favorite.
@@zombiepants Do you remember Amazin Fruit?
@@emmymade Flavor lasted about 2 minutes.😛
Viennetta, my sister and I ate those all the time, so yummy. Our mom would pick them up, eat them with the girl Scout cookies. I had a great childhood. RIP mom. 🧡
All the 90’s gum iterations were awesome. Bubble Jug, Ouch bubble gum bandaids that came in that tin, when BubbleYum came out with Cotton Candy flavored gum. Endless joy.
The NKOTB gum!! Then there was Fruit Stripe but you got 20 seconds of flavor out of those.
I wrote a poem about bubble jug 😂
What a fun episode! 1985 baby here, and this was so nostalgic!!
Oh the nostalgia, especially rolling up the bubblegum tape without even thinking about it, just an automatic thing, lol. Vienetta was so good in the 90s, I'd forgotten it even existed. The 90s was a really good decade in retrospect.
Emmy, you ripped out my heat when you said a CapriSun you didn’t like was “Something Cooler” Pacific Cooler was my favorite! 😂Still to this day I’ll buy a pack a few times a year 🤣
Pacific cooler really is the best flavor!
Best flavor by far!
I always thought they all tasted pretty much the same, with only slight variations of flavor, aside from the grape one which for some reason sticks out in my memory.
Emmy, we still have Viennetta in England. Not only the vanilla choc variety but also mint choc too! We still buy it as a desert sometimes and it's always gone in a flash! 😁
I remember vienetta!! The quality is different because Breyer's ice cream is actually a great quality and their vanilla flavor is stronger.
I have been disappointed by Breyer's, which is easily confused with Dreyer's. In my own opinion, between the 2, Dreyer's has superior quality and flavor to Breyer's.
@@mikearmstrong8483 And Dreyer's is Edy's in certain parts of the country.
@@lizhustedt4254
There should be a law against that. Breyer's and Dreyer's is confusing enough already. That's like saying that as soon as you cross the state line celery is called plywood; they both taste the same so they should only have one name.
Vienetta (sold under the Walls brand, which has the same heart logo as that "Good Humor" brand there) never went away over here in the UK, it just shrank, a lot, like a ridicluously huge amount smaller now than back in the 90s, and we still have the mint one, which I think is the more popular one, but these days it's not really as popular as it used to be, as nice as it is, though I haven't had one for a number of years now, and by one, yes, I mean I had it to myself, they're so small it's pretty much a one serving thing now... :P
To be fair, they're only £1 (or at least they were until 'stuff' happened, I haven't looked recently). They were 72p in 1985, so the price was basically static for 37 years - it's probably reasonable if they're a bit smaller now. Just buy 2!
Same in Germany. You can still buy it but Vienetta really shrinked down to a single serving and and with less chocolate.
Same in Australia, it’s pretty much been around the whole time (though the other flavours are long gone). Shrunk, been discontinued at least once for a short period, plus pretty expensive (but I kinda remember it always being kind of expensive). Currently $8.00, but I think it’s been much higher at times in the past 15 years.
Made by Streets (same as Walls/Good Humor). We don’t buy from them anymore, because of union busting and offshoring much of their local production.

When you said “I wish my brother was here” I was very sad… and then you said you texted him and I had a very YAY! Emmy reaction. ❤
In Portugal we still have it, and it's still popular, so it's funny to see it thought of as a throwback. There's other flavours of Vienneta too, like caramel, chocolate, strawberry...
Where in portugal are you from
It's popular all over europe especially italy. It is produced by algida.
As an adult I admit to buying Capri Sun once in a blue moon. Really was the only "kids drink" I ever liked growing up. I recall my family trying the Vienetta once or twice. But we ended up preferring the Pepperidge Farm freezer cakes ( those are still amazing imo).
I totally forgot about Viennetta!!! You just unlocked soo many memories lol
My aunt brought over a Viennetta once, I loved it so much that I still check the ice cream isle at least a few times a year. Sad that they’re not using quality ingredients but I’m still going to try one. The packaging was definitely much nicer back then.
I love living vicariously through you, Emmy! That big bite of Hubba Bubba is something I've always wanted to do, but doubt I'll ever be able to bring myself to. I enjoy pretending to be a lizard far too much
I would ALWAYS pretend to be a lizard when I was a kid! 😂
i don't remember having the urge to take a bite out of it, mostly just because when I chewed gum I would chew like 3 or 4 sticks at a time so for those rolls when I had them I just made REALLY long sticks of gum
They were selling them at Grocery Outlet couple of weeks ago. I bought one to share with my kids and grands. These were my best friend (of over 50 years) and I's favorite fancy desert when we were in our early-mid 20's. We grew up in rural Iowa/Illinois and fancy food was something we loved.
wow, what a throwback! I haven't had one of these since the 90s either :) I think you can still get these in grocery stores all around Europe.
You can, the real viennetta that i remember is from algida, it is very popular in italy. Sometimes we even eat it at birthday parties.
Yep you can still get them in England, ive seen them in a few supermarkets just a couple of days back.
Yes these cost around one euro here in Finland making it the cheapest "cake" you can get, and I think its the only ice cream cake that we have available.
@@TomboyVale the real one? It's made in the UK, like the frist original one
i’m a 2000s baby and i remember kid cuisine - nothing but pure nostalgia.. especially that one meal with the spaghetti and brownie
I had Vienneta as a kid, teenager, adult. It never discontinued in France. It's simple and easy to share. The caramel one is the best with a great cookie at the bottom.
Your joy is contagious. It’s one of the reasons I subscribed
Vienetta was never discontinued here in Sweden. We have at least 2-3 different flavors , and over here they are made by GB Glace. There has also been other ice-cream brands making a similar thing.
This sounds so divine I wish I could find out more
The Vienetta ice cream cake 😭😭 I loved this stuff when I was a kid! My grandma every time she visited would bring it. I got some last month when home visiting family & it was skits so nostalgic 🖤🖤
I’ve been trying to remember the name of Viennetta for yeeeeeears. I remember eating this a lot as a kid but I forgot the name and then started mixing it up with the also defunct Blue Bunny ice cream roll (also a fave). You just unlocked a memory!!
Thank you for reviewing everything for us. We appreciate everything you do. I honestly was ever expected you to review something like Lunchables. You are a special type of person that appreciates all kinds of foods including children's favorites. Unlike other reviewers or celebrity chefs that will not eat, let alone review a lunchable. You are amazing Emmy!.
Aww...thank you. 🧡
The Kid Cuisine must've changed their formulas, because back when I had them, the brownies always turned hard as a rock like 30 seconds after you took it out of the oven and got one tiny little perfectly cooked part you could actually eat while the rest just sort of stuck to the tray thingie.
I wouldn't say that my father keeps a box of Viennetta in his freezer for emergency purposes, but I wouldn't say he doesn't either. Love it, had it as my birthday cake (summer kid) multiple times.
Yes, Emmy, my neighborhood always used to bring it up to us every Sunday in 90s it was a symbol of wealth in Italy expecially during the Sunday lunchs 🥰😍🤩👍
It feels like a long time passes between your Sunday video and your Thursday video. And I was so ready for it this week.

The nostalgia with these childhood treats hits hard, especially the bubble tape
When I was a kid in 2000s, Vienettas were made by Good Humor (or Wall's here in Indonesia) and it was always the epitome of dessert for me as a kid, they also discontinued it and it came back 2 years ago and I was SO EXCITED
I remember that when I was a kid the Lunchables that we got came with two different kinds of crackers, meats, and cheeses, and they also came with a little squeezy blister pack of Grey Poupon mustard. I fell in love with the combo of the meats and crackers with Grey Poupon.
For some reason I remember something like this being part of the Swanson's delivery truck. The big difference being that it came in a shiny aluminum tin with a white top. I remember being so excited when my mom said we could order it once as a kid.
So much memories rushing back! Definitely wanted to bite the gum tape whole when I was younger as well! These were fun I recommend to do more videos like this!!
The baseball card gum just unlocked a childhood memory and I can almost taste that stale gritty bubblegum flavor. 🤣
My grandmother served Vienetta once when I was a kid during a holiday party and it felt very fancy and formal and grown-up. It tasted amazing.
Vienetta was a dessert staple in our household when I was growing up. It was never discontinued in Australia that I'm aware of. I've always been able to buy it whenever I wanted it.
My kids love it too.
Emmy you are so much fun!! I never get over your channel and I’m always ready for another one ☺️❤️🙏🏽 thank you for all you do!!
My goodness, Viennetta! I'm a coffee flavor lover and we had a espresso flavored Viennetta here. I've loved it as a youngster until far into my teenage years until it disappeared. Now I settle for tiramisu but I still remember that deep, dark coffee flavor of that Viennetta. 😋
Ooooh I remember the coffee flavored one!
I've been trying to hunt down Viennetta since its re-release. I recall the commercials for back in the day and was always sort of fascinated by it, but my extremely frugal mom would never buy it for us. She always used the excuse that my older sister had bought one and was disappointed because it was too small for the price they were charging. I did get a ton of Lunchables and Capri Suns, though. The turkey and swiss was my favorite Lunchable. I remember always having them at swim meets and Tae Kwon Do.
I still get bubble tape whenever I remember how great it is and it's available. We were too poor to ever get vienneta. 89 baby here so I remember all of these and being excited to get them.
I loved lunchables. Had them every week. Pizza, hot dogs, nachos, ham and cheese.
Geez I love Emmy so much lol the bite of gum was cute to watch she’s just such a sweet lady 😊
I love this!! Can’t wait for more. Graduated high school in 1996. Great times!!
Oh wow! Viennetta is a Christmas tradition in my family.
It's still available in Australia but has succumb to shrinkflation, so the cake is tiny now.
After Christmas dinner we bust out the Viennetta for dessert.
It always felt so fancy as a kid, especially when my Mum would give us tiny dainty spoons to eat it with.
Thanks Emmy!!
I FORGOT ABOUT VIENNETTA. We saw the commercials for it when I was little and finally my mom decided to bring some home and we tried it. We all agreed it was good, but not as good as the commercial made it out to be. lol What you're describing makes it sound like they changed the ice cream, though, because when we had it back then the ice cream was pretty creamy, not like ice cream sandwich ice cream. And you're right about the box being different. The box was dark green, definitely not bright blue. Thank you for restoring this buried childhood memory!!!
I hadn't thought about this ice cream in over 20 years until I saw a 90's themed post about it earlier today. Now a few hours later I see you posted a new video and my mind is blown!
It was my dad’s favorite. My mom would occasionally find it at Albertsons. Glad it made a come back. Still haven’t seen it in the store yet. This is so nostalgic.
I found it ALDI for 2.99 😊
@@LuLu-sy8oz thank you! I’ll check my locally!
@@TXFRWYGYPSY
Enjoy!
I remember vienetta. I had it as a child and an adult. It is still good. The bubble tape was my favorite. The frozen foods also were good to. But sometimes we had chicken soup 🍲 and ham and cheese sandwiches 🥪. God Bless to the good times. Take care. Mari'a. 👍👍👍👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗💃💃💃💃💃💃❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😀😀😀😀
I am today years old in learning that Vienetta is in stores again! I will definitely look for it and buy one for my mom. She loved it!
I love that childlike wonder that you still indulge yourself in.. and occasionally thrive in. I wish that for everyone 💜💜💜
This brought back some great memories!!! Thank you.
I never got to have ANY of these things but lunchables, because my parents were holdover hippies, but my 90s kid childhood was spent COVETING them. Lunchables I got sometimes for field trips. But thank you so much for assuaging my own need to just bite the heck into the side of a roll of Bubble Tape. Does anyone else remember the 'It's six feet of bubble gum! For YOU! Not THEM.' jingle?
They relaunched Vienetta in Mexico too under the Holanda brand (same brand that makes the Magnum ice cream bars). It's actually very rare to find Vanilla Vienetta (if they even make it), you'll only find chocolate and cappuccino flavors.
I live in AZ and am now wondering if some of that might make it up into some local stores here.
I genuinely miss the mint flavor... but the cappuccino sounds divine.
@@TheLadyBlerd it's great, the coffee flavor gives it a more "adult" flavor instead of pure sugar, sort of like tiramisu. Check out if any latin markets near you carries the Holanda brand!
Vienetta never left us in the uk, and we have had so many different flavours of them over the years! I used to feel so fancy eating them as a kid :D
Recently found a westcoast copy
Of this “Viennetta” at my favorite grocer. Had no idea what it was. Showed my fiancé and she immediately had a flashback to her childhood. She demanded I buy as many as I could. Her first bite, brought her to tears, as she was now back to being a child again. Big, sobbing, Ghibli tears.
Vienetta was a staple of my family's Sunday lunches in the UK in the late 80s along with Le Piat d'Or wine and then screaming rows between my parents...
I love that Fruit Gushers came back recently and are still popular 🤓
At the part now with the Sriracha sauce. Happy you getting your taste back and love Sriracha just exist. Makes alot of things instantly better 😌
fruit gushers never left... ever.
I too enjoyed the Viennetta. It appears that Good Humor and Breyers are now the same company. They discontinued Choco Taco for a while when they unified as one business. Looks like some marketing guru is trying to build sales! I always enjoy watching you, from recipes to retro appliances and everything in between. Glad to hear your sense of taste and smell are returning.
Oh yes, I remember the bubble gum from baseball card packs Very Well. Bazooka also was very firm - but I have an entire set of comics. :)
I so SO appreciate that you always rate things for what they are 8:45 It's super nice to see someone who gives leeway and understanding that it's not meant to be Home Made Baked Mac n Cheese Super Fancy, it's microwaved food. If it's pretty good, that's great!
Hey Emmy ☺💜 I noticed you don't censor the word Covid in your recent videos, if you're getting demonetized and don't know why then it may be because apparently it's a trigger keyword for youtube's automated video review/inspection ! Hope you have a great day Emmy, and thanks for this nostalgic throwback video 😁
This awoke a memory that I forgot about. My neighbors used to get this!! They had that truck that delivered frozen meats and ice creams come and it was always in their freezer
I only had Vienetta at my Grandma’s. She was fancy and always had unique foods for us to try. I loved that about her ❤. For years I couldn’t remember the name of it and kept Googling “ice cream lasagna” with no luck, then they brought it back! Now I just have to find it.
I’ve never heard of Vienetta, despite growing up in the 90’s. I wish I had, though! I probably would’ve loved it. All the other items are so nostalgic. 😊
I love all your videos, but I don't think Ive ever laughed at one of your videos so much. I'm too old to have had these in the 80s, but I do remember the Viennetta commercials and thinking that lunchables were appalling even back then.
Watching your excitement and delight at these was so heartwarming. You look so genuinely excited about these - your delight is infectious.
Keep them coming!
I was an adult and lived in Texas when I saw my first Vienetta commercial. It made the product seem so elegant. I purchased it one time and remember being disappointed. I thought a scoop of really good ice cream with cake would have been better. I don’t remember finishing the product.
Viennetta is still a popular dessert in UK and Ireland, it was never discontinued here, its always been available, in several different flavours including original, mint, double chocolate. I remember it fondly from childhood but also get it sometimes as an adult.
I remember seeing the Viennetta commercials when I was watching The Price Is Right in the 80s, and thinking, because of the commercial, that it was the epitome of fancy grown up desserts. Sadly, I never tried it because my mom didn’t like it, and once I was able to buy my own stuff I just didn’t think of it. I’ll have to try this new iteration 😊
Over in Austria, Viennetta never left. Still have it in my freezer, it’s such a classic. We also have different flavors.
You can still get it here in the UK and I get it sometimes. My parents were teenagers in the 80s and had it then. My granny served it for pudding to my family when we visited during the 2000s and 2010s. Good memories.
“Wow! That’s a lotta gum…” feels like it should’ve been their marketing tag. I loled.
Letting the intrusive thoughts in with the bubble gum >.< I love it
Viennetta was one of my favorite treats when I was younger....and I recently found it again and have one in my freezer right now 💜
funny how Viennetta is seen as a fancy ice cream & was discontinued?!
here (in Vienna lol) you can buy it like any ice cream, not expensive or anything hard to find & has been there since I was born (1996)
I used the Capri Sun as ice packs for the lunches. They would still be slushy at lunch time. They also make good ice packs for the bumps and bruises that energetic kids get.
I'm originally from Portugal and we've always had Viennetta. I'm not sure it's ever been stopped over there. They've added different flavours my favourite being caramel biscuit it's so good.
