Vonage Commercial (What is 'The Big Fetnini?' -- 'The Big Fetnee?')
Vonage and Vanity ^ | December 16, 2010 | Arlen Williams

My chat, a few minutes ago with a live chat sales person at Vonage.com:

Connected with Ana. Your reference number for this chat session is 367003.

Ana: Thank you for choosing Vonage. I'm Ana, your chat sales agent. Before you start the signup process, what questions do you have?

You: Hello Ana.

You: I have to confess at the beginning here...

Ana: hi

You: I'm not interested in your service. I want to know about the annoying Vonage TV commercial. What in the whole wide world is "...the big fetnini?"

You: The Cuban? woman talks about "...the big turkey and the big fetnini..."

You: What in blazes is she talking about?

Ana: I'm sorry but I'm not familiar with that commercial.

You: Is there an email address I can use, to ask someone in Vonage marketing?

Ana: I'm sorry but you can only call 1-866-243-4357 and maybe they can help

You: Okay, thank you.

You: Have a good day. Merry Christmas. May you avoid the big fetnini (or fetnee) if it hurts.

The big “pernil”, a roasted pork shoulder (or some such part) that is often sliced like the meat that gyro is made of. Very South American - and verrrry good!

I was wondering about that, too. Now that I have an answer, I have to wonder why people would make international calls about turkeys and roasts. This only confirms my opinion that 90% of advertising is insulting to my intelligence.

I am so glad you posted this thread. I was going to ask this question on the new Weekly Cooking thread or the Gardening thread or the FReeper Kitchen thread.

I thought she was saying the Big Fetihinie but what the heck is it?

I would be happy to be in a commercial for Vonage because they have saved me a lot of money over the last few years!

Thanks! It really sounds good.

Why do they need to put this out? -- like we're supposed to know?

That woman even looks a little embarrassed when she says it.

petnil?

Do they call it that because the pig used to be a pet, but now that's all nill?

She probably looks embarrassed because it’s so fattening!
