k, well the rules are

choose a topic
first player gets an opening statement
second player make a statement
second player attacks, first player defends, then vice versa
end
count points.

and dear voters! this game has points, each voter chooses a side from the beginning and at the end you choose if you want to change the vote or not. if your vote stays the same, the team you voted for get a point, but if it changes the team you switched to gets two points

here's the scoreboard:
kit:1
elise:4 𓆰♕𓆪

current topic is: what's better, edge brownies or middle brownies
debaters: kit: edge and elise: middle

Ok:

The middle peices of the brownie is a clearly superior and much more enjoyable part of the brownie. It maintains the flavour and goeyness, without being burnt or crispy. The edges of the brownie are more burnt and chunky, and take away from the soft and flavoursome - and overall main parts - of what would rather be a S tier pastry

(technically there are supposed to be side players who pick side, but this matter is to important to wait lol)

the corner piece is the best part because it is mostly crunchy, but at least half is still soft and gooey, and it's not overly sweet like a middle piece around the edges. the corner and edges are less uniform and you get a better array of flavors. and imagine someone made brownies but undercooked them, you don't want the gross middle ones that just taste like flour and raw batter, the edges would be much better cooked and in any situation the corner and edges hold together much better, you don't even need to make dishes dirty as long 'you're careful.

Before I begin the rest of my arguments, I would like to point out some flaws in the opposing teams case.

Firstly, Kit has stated that 'the edges would be much better cooked and in any situation the corner and edges hold together much better'. This is incorrect as the edges tend to be more crisp/burnt, which means it is more likely to crumble when being eaten and held.

Kit has also stated that 'you don't even need to make dishes dirty as long 'you're careful.' This argument could be used by both sides, as you could make minimal mess with both middle and edge pieces, making this argument irrelevant.

Now, moving onto my next argument…

Have you ever had a burnt steak before? Or maybe even burnt toast? Its one of the worst and weirdest textures ever, as when it burns and becomes crispy, it loses its flavour and doesn't taste as it should, and it feels weird in your mouth when you try to eat it. Same thing applies for brownies. The edge peices are more susceptible to be burned, and henceforth, lose their rich, chocolaty and sweet flavour, aswell as they're smooth texture - which is what brownies are most known for

for the defence i'd like to state that elise's comment about corners and edges being crumbly was wrong. it becomes more of a hardened shell, whereas the middle is too soft to hold together properly, it's the same idea as pulled pork. it's simply too moist and chunks fall off from the moment it leaves the tray.

for the second point elise had about dishes; i'd like to point out that, yes, it can apply to both BUT it takes more effort to keep something so soft and fragile from breaking apart. also, if you drop corner piece crumbs on the floor it can just be swept/vacuumed, but you have to jump through so many more hoops when cleaning up something soft and gooey, especially if someone ends up stepping on it.

onto the last point of elise's attack: firstly, the texture isn't ruined, just changed.
burnt marshmallows, charred steak, crispy toast.
these are all things many people i know (including myself) enjoy. these things don't just 'lose their flavour and don't taste as they should', most of the time it's a simply different flavour on the outside, while preserving the same good old flavour and textures you know and love on the inside, but only adding to them.

(haha imagine having school rn)

(yah imagine!! was supposed to have testing today but my school doesn't have power)

it's my turn to attack elise's initial statement.
firstly, not quite important, but just stating something 'clearly' one way or the other is not a valid argument, so we can strike that from the record. secondly, brownies are a type of cake, and the virtues of a good cake is not gooeyness, but in being spongy and having well balanced flavours. and the best part of even middle piece brownies in the surface, with the crunchy part on top. plus, unlike the edge piece with a variety of textures and flavours, the middle piece is all just the same thing. no variation, it's as tough to get through as big plate of plain boiled potatoes.

i rest my case.

i like boiled potatoes.
