Wow didn't think it was that! My first thought was the flan I used to get at St. Germain Bakery (Honolulu) - well, a little off color...

A glazed donut?
practicallydone at 7:03PM on 09/17/08
I seriously can't believe I guessed right! The pooling near the plastic doodad and the little bubble made me think it was, but I figured surely I was wrong and it was going to be something sweet :-)
sylphon at 7:08PM on 09/17/08
some sort of fondit-coated treat?
cosmic charlie at 7:09PM on 09/17/08
I was thinking jelly donut--and now I'm going to check to see what it actually is.
maered at 7:11PM on 09/17/08
damnit.
maered at 7:11PM on 09/17/08
i was guessing a candied apple
burgerluver at 7:17PM on 09/17/08
i thought it was a cupcake
_greenbean at 7:18PM on 09/17/08
OK, based on the pink plastic thing, I'm going with Dunkin Donuts? Is it a Halloween doughnut with a Baskin Robins spoon thingy in it??
WickedGoodDinner at 7:45PM on 09/17/08
I was so wrong! LOL!
WickedGoodDinner at 7:46PM on 09/17/08
donut was my only guess, boy was I wrong!
Muhlyssa at 7:53PM on 09/17/08
a rare cheeseburger?
oishi at 7:55PM on 09/17/08
I'm with oishi. Cheeseburger.
trillian42 at 9:07PM on 09/17/08
My first thought was a cheesecake lollipop covered in icing. Boy, was I wrong!
madball911 at 9:27PM on 09/17/08
The "shape" and the type of sheen it has on the bottom right corner made me think "cheeseburger"
Tahitinova at 9:28PM on 09/17/08
First I thought sweet, but the little stick looks like the the thing they put in your meat to indicate donness. So I'm going with cheeseburger, like a few others.

looks like some sort of really wide Popsicle...but the texture is off. In fact, the whole image looks either 1) out of focus or 2) over-enlarged digitally. My guess is 2, as the whole thing seems to have that grainy quality to it.
sarandi at 10:04PM on 09/17/08
Maple jelly donut?
OliverRanch at 10:28PM on 09/17/08
Never wooda guessed
OliverRanch at 10:28PM on 09/17/08
cheeseburger, kind of on the rare side
katnsatoshi at 10:33PM on 09/17/08
A flan?
Oh. Drat.
IbisFlight at 10:36PM on 09/17/08
@sarandi: I didn't enlarge it by much; I just got really close to it. But I did use a high ISO.
roboppy at 11:20PM on 09/17/08
I'm all about the rare cheeseburger
feistyfoodie at 11:48PM on 09/17/08
Interesting and fun visual riddle BUT IT IS PHOTOSHOPPED. The tiny puddle of burger juice and its highlight - Bogus. Also the pink stake is probably faked in because there is no physical pulling down on the cheese at the piercing edge. I still like it though.
Phoodie at 11:54PM on 09/17/08
It looks like orange sherbet to me. With a pink icecream spoon?
Now I'll go see how wrong I am.
mikaque at 12:19AM on 09/18/08
@Phoodie: Uh...it's definitely not photoshopped. I wouldn't put in the effort to do that.
roboppy at 12:20AM on 09/18/08
That damn pin plastic thing makes everyone think sweet.
DanielJ at 1:15AM on 09/18/08
it is either a rare or medium cheeseburger. I think the pink may denote the level of rareness, so I'll go with rare. The slight pool of yummy pink juice peeking out from the pink stick kind of gives it away. That is definitely is a dressed burger bun off to the side.
meaghan at 1:52AM on 09/18/08
Is it a toffee apple?
mcdoto at 5:33AM on 09/18/08
Caramel flan.
Blip at 7:23AM on 09/18/08
strawberry filled potato??
nindi_18 at 7:28AM on 09/18/08
I was thinking donut, too. Fail.
Thomasj at 9:24AM on 09/18/08
cheeseburger?
Keight at 9:53AM on 09/18/08
A spoon stuck into a raspberry-filled, maple-iced doughnut, which, if you ponder on it too long, will make you hurl.
sarahbeam at 10:14AM on 09/18/08
Mango Sorbet....or maybe a gelato...with a little plastic sppon
leah4hand at 10:21AM on 09/18/08
Cheeseburger, of course! YUMMMMM
bitchincamero at 10:29AM on 09/18/08
Cheeseburger with a stick marker for Doneness(WORD?)
phauxtoe at 10:52AM on 09/18/08
Cupcake?
danimal898 at 11:56AM on 09/18/08
Cheeseburger, with the top bun off (obviously) and a little plastic thingy telling you how it's cooked. From the looks of the juice poking out of the hole, I'm thinking it's cooked medium to medium-rare.
ronzoni at 2:10PM on 09/18/08
I think it's a cheeseburger with the bun sitting to the side
TheDistrictDomestic at 1:23PM on 09/19/08
Cheeseburger sans bun?
daveandcat at 3:06PM on 09/19/08
Jelly Donut on a stick?
bobfole at 3:50PM on 09/19/08
