A 'freshly made brownie' from the cafe at work

Inedible. I thought it looked a bit odd - like the flour had sunk to the bottom or something. I was told it was a chocolate brownie but it was stuffed full of sultanas. What a horrible shock! I had three bites to make sure and then thew it away - it was basically sultanas surrounded by flour. Gross. If I could give it a minus I would, but it'll have to be 0/5. What a waste of 95p.

Costa Coffee brownie

Simply nasty. Just look at the stale chocolate chips. I was going to look past this as all the other coffee houses seem happy to sell brownies covered in bloomed chocolate chips, but then I tasted it. It is easily the worst yet - it had a horrible amount of synthetic vanilla flavour and a disgusting aftertaste. I didn't even want a second bite but I forced myself to, in the name of research. Then I forced my boyfriend to have a bite to make sure my tastebuds weren't doing funny things - his face said it all. Horrible. It looked ok - moist and dark inside, with a fudgy texture to the outisde, but looking a bit old and tired with the stale-looking chocolate chips. It was split into two handy sections for easy eating on the move - sadly, we didn't even finish the first half as it was so foul. It's pretty unheard of that I don't finish a brownie. No points at all for this one - 0/5.

Can't upload photo for now - will do so as soon as it's working.
