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.
Looks like a great FR thread start. I’ll need to come back later.

ROFL!!
It’s Panini, with an accent
Thanks!!! Roasted pork shoulder...mmmmmmmmmmmm
Nothing says home and hearth like lots of roasted pig.
Has turkey beat hands down!
Merry Christmas!
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!
Colonel, USAFR
Just trying to be helpful! (heh heh)
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 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!
Her accent turns a P sound into an F sound?
Glad I am not Jewish or Moslem.
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!
