I read this as they are inspired by cosmic brownies, not made from them. It wouldn’t be unheard of, but blending an already baked and processed brownie into a drink seems…bad. You asked if they were spoiled, but these type of processed baked goods don’t really spoil like that generally because of all the preservatives.
They’re not good. But they’re supposed to be that way. I’ve never had anything quite like them outside of the US so it’s hard to think of something to compare them to that a European might be familiar with. They’re brownies in the same way that French fries are vegetables. Technically… Yeah… But no. They’re extremely sweet, taste quite strongly of artificial chocolate which may be a flavor unique to American paletes, and technically resemble a fudgey brownie.
All that to say, this shake did not contain this particular garbage snack.
I suspect what he made was a protein shake with added fiber and artificial sweetener. You can get cosmic brownie flavored protein powder. Protein shakes certainly can have an effect on the gut.
Enlighten an European: are they raw brownies and you’re supposed to bake these before consumption or were they simply spoiled?
They’re cooked. They’re just sugary and gross.
They’re sugary and gross and delicious! I get them twice a year when I go on a trip with my other buddy that likes them.

I guess you could get away with blending a brownie if it’s fudgey enough in the center and add a bit of milk or other liquid.

Thanks for the explanation!
Neither. It was something else. (Likely fake).
Brownie? The cookie thing?
Yeah, I baked them from scratch at home and found them good. And knew I should only eat one or two pieces max or get sick from too much sugar and fat.
