- Oh, this is (muffled).
Oh no.
Not expensive anymore.
(fancy music)
Hey, it's me, Cyn,
and I'm here to play Expensive Taste Test.
The rules are simple.
They're gonna place two products in front of me,
and I have to choose which one is more expensive.
I'm not a competitive girl,
I'm just gonna do my best.
(upbeat music)
I work with Katy Perry,
and she has tons of crystals in her studio.
So, I should know.
Oh.
Everything looks usual around here.
I wish I had a hammer.
(thumps)
I've never done this before,
so I'm just kind of shooting in the dark.
(thumps)
something about this feels a little unrefined.
I can't tell if that would be more expensive.
Maybe you would spend more money
on something that's more polished.
I don't even know if I believe in crystals.
(gasps)
Hmm.
I'm gonna say this is the expensive one.
All right.
250.
- 50?
Well, I thought we were doing expensive things.
- Absolutely not.
Maybe if I had a bunch of papers that were gonna fly away.
But still, no, never.
(upbeat music)
My heart is racing.
I think this is the cheap one.
Yeah, I think this one's more expensive.
I'm gonna taste it.
Hmm.
I usually think that if the color's really nice,
they might be trying to lure you in.
I don't know, I'm not a rose girl.
I like chardonnay.
I think this one's the expensive one.
It just feels bolder and mature.
This to me feels like a college night.
(giggles)
Man, I might be wrong.
That's my final answer, though.
Let's just get to it.
- [Woman] You're right.
- I'm right?
Hell yeah.
Can I swear?
- Oh good.
(upbeat music)
I saw that you guys were giving me pizza,
and I was stoked.
This is the expensive one.
But I like cheap pizza,
so I'm gonna start with this one.
Mhm, I can tell.
They both have the same pattern on the bottom.
Love a little bit of balance, you know.
Pizza and Marc Jacobs.
I'm gonna have a few more bites,
'cause I actually am hungry.
Do we have time?
Wow, maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe I'm so wrong.
I'm not a New York girl.
I don't know this (bleep).
I dated an Italian once though.
This is the expensive one.
It has sweet onions.
- [Woman] Yeah, you're right.
- Oooo yeah.
Mamma Mia.
Can I just hold this while I test the other ones?
No, that'd be weird.
(upbeat music)
- I don't think this is the expensive one.
It smells like Folger's.
This is the expensive one.
It smells like Intelligentsia.
A nice bold, rich taste.
Rich.
Yeah, this is like water.
Expensive.
- [Woman] You got it.
- Mhm.
(upbeat music)
Unless these are from the dollar store or something,
and they couldn't afford
the artificial colors,
you know, that's possible.
This, like,
I know what Cheetos look like.
I'm gonna go with this one.
First.
(crunches)
that's a Cheeto.
Okay, hold on.
I gotta clear it.
(sniffs)
Definitely real cheddar.
Definitely.
I used to be a nanny,
I know organic snacks, all right?
(crunches)
Alright, I really hope I'm right.
Is this expensive?
No?
Dang it.
Oops.
(upbeat music)
This one has more oxygen around the glass.
Maybe it's from a faucet.
Let's start with this one.
My fingers are a little cheetoey.
Hmm.
Hmm, hmm, hmm.
Fluoride?
Shoot.
Mhm.
This one's colder.
You wouldn't put tap water in a fridge,
would you?
I think this is the tap water.
(buzzer)
Oh man.
(upbeat music)
Okay, this is obvious.
This is the expensive one.
And it matches my outfit,
just great.
Yeah, this is cheap.
That's my final answer.
115?
Whoa.
That's a lot for a headband.
You only wear something like that
if they give it to you for free.
(upbeat music)
I think,
well this one's missing a bristle.
But maybe that's just for airflow,
you know?
My instinct's telling me that
this is the more expensive one.
But like, does it look like I brush my hair?
I don't know.
I don't.
I have a comb in the shower that I use.
I think this is a cheap one.
Okay, cool.
(upbeat music)
(hums)
This reminds me of an e.l.f. brush
from Target.
I like that section.
I don't know.
This one has a bristle sticking out.
This one looks a little bit nicer.
I think this is the expensive one.
- [Woman] Yeah.
- Okay.
I don't really have a lot of expensive brushes,
'cause I don't take care of my things.
I think I might need a rematch.
It was a cheap shot, okay?
They gave me Cheetos verse Trader Joe's Cheetos.
So it's fine, it's cool.
I won't take it to heart.
