What does this picture say about...?

So Heidi and I were on a "we need something sweet kick" and noticed something that made our evening. Yes, we are both easily amused...but back to the point. There was something wrong with this picture of the donut racks at Wal-Mart in Shreveport, Louisiana. The shape of that brownie is not a triangle, it is in fact a rectangle (this was confirmed on Wikipedia).
At first we thought that they just have the label there for either brownies OR triangles and just had brownies there that day. But after dedicated efforts to ascertain the facts, we have never seen triangles there. Not that we know what a triangle donut is since we have never seen one, but we do know what a brownie is and have eaten many so we are somewhat experts on brownies. Some may even say Heidi has a "Brownie Obsession"...
So you be the judge as to what this picture says about_______.
****Disclaimer, the editor has censored the conclusions of this post as she thinks they are too demeaning to the various groups (wal-mart, educational system in Louisiana, bakers, people who put up labels for donut racks) involved in this sensitive matter.

Reminds me of the "lint special" we saw when we were down there. Maybe they really are brownie triangles but you can't buy them individually. Hence the rectangular shape. Either way I hope they were delicious and hit the sweet tooth spot

At first I was considering the "brownies and triangles" "angle" but I think Linds has it right. They are not sold individually unless you ask, then they can be cut for you. But then again, who would only want half a brownie no matter what shape it is!?

Maybe the bakery manager is a philosophy major and is being esoteric. Which makes more sense, that a bakery manager would label esoterically, or that a philosophy major would end up as a bakery manager...
