Culinary review: Brownies

Tonight I redeemed collected coupons for a pizza at Domino's and they threw in their new Oven Baked Brownie Squares for free. Let me tell you about these things. Not since the McGriddle has a fast-food chain created such a delicious-yet-disgusting treat. They're basically tiny gooey chocolate cubes, crunchy on the outside, and you dip them in a fudge sauce that looks like used motor oil or a cup of really strong espresso. And wowza.
The fact is, they taste like exactly what they are: a chemically engineered treat, created by food scientists to hit the right tongue papillae and manipulate our gustation processes with the precision of a laser-guided rocket. It works and your tongue explodes with the sweet taste, but somehow, it just doesn't feel right.
I don't think I'll ever eat them again.
