- Can I do it like with my eyes closed?
Coulda fooled me.
Oh (bleep).
(Madelyn laughs)
Hi, my name is Madelyn Cline,
and I am playing the Expensive Taste Test with Cosmo.
Do I think I have expensive taste?
I like to think so.
When I'm shopping,
I do go towards the expensive stuff and then I walk away.
I think on this test, I think I'll do 50/50.
I don't know.
Maybe, maybe I, who knows?
Let's find out.
(upbeat music)
Can I do it like with my eyes closed?
Okay.
These feel like French macarons.
Okay, already I feel like this one might be more expensive
'cause it's heavier.
Mm.
Chocolate.
Delicious.
Almond flour.
Crispy.
Delicious filling.
Nice and light.
Lots of air bubbles in it.
Mm mm mm.
Is that lavender?
It has like detergent notes.
I feel like these are more expensive.
Hmm.
I'm gonna do the same color.
Maybe I was wrong.
Let's peek inside.
Nevermind.
That it?
(bleep).
I'm gonna go with first instinct.
The one on the right.
(buzzer buzzes)
Oh (bleep).
(upbeat music)
Hmm.
Let's look at the construction.
Stitching is nice and even.
There's a bunch of little crystals on it.
Okay.
And then, I'm gonna say this one.
(buzzer buzzes)
No?
This one?
Could have fooled me.
(Madelyn laughs)
Could've fooled me.
The black one's really cute though.
Shoot, I have bad instincts.
(upbeat music)
I don't know either of them.
Wait.
I feel like I got some secret info.
I don't trust anything anymore.
This one?
(bell dings)
I'm right.
I don't know, I feel like,
because now I'm feeling like I'm being tricked.
So just by the size of the two, I was gonna say this one,
but then I realize that my first instincts have been wrong.
This one, no concrete evidence.
(upbeat music)
Someone told me one time if you stretch a sweater,
you can tell like how nice it is.
If it stays stretched out, then it's really nice.
I don't know.
I feel like it's not really helping me here.
This one is staying a little bit stretched out.
See, I don't know it.
Is it this one?
(buzzer buzzes)
(Madelyn laughs)
Why?
I just don't understand.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm disappointed.
I like this one better.
(upbeat music)
I'm bombing.
Okay.
Ooh, I get to taste these?
First instinct.
I'm gonna go with this one, just by the shape of the bottle.
It seems rich.
I like the shape of the bottle.
(bottles clink)
(Madelyn laughs)
Tart.
(Madelyn laughs)
Fizzy.
It's a, I'm guessing it's a Brute.
Mm.
No, not that one.
I feel like this one's gonna be expensive.
(bell dings)
I love that like the only things I could guess
was like a plate and alcohol.
(upbeat music)
I feel like that's tap.
I feel like this one's expensive.
(buzzer buzzes)
I feel like this demonstrates
that I am a very low maintenance person.
Just gimme a glass of water and I'll drink it.
It's totally fine to me.
I like the tap water better.
(upbeat music)
Okay, so this one has stuff in it.
Looks like almonds, maybe some fruit, dried fruit.
And some pretty little, is it apples?
And we have this very simple bar of chocolate.
Okay, let's go.
(chocolate bar snaps)
Toffee.
Fairly dark chocolate.
I do not like milk chocolate.
I like dark chocolate.
Milk chocolate's too sweet.
I also don't like white chocolate.
Mm mm, get it outta here.
This one's harder to, okay, just, well.
Okay, just by presentation, I'm gonna go with this one.
(buzzer buzzes)
(upbeat music)
Okay.
This is more expensive.
I'm getting the impression that it's thinner.
It's more dainty.
Oh god, if I, wait a second.
If I fail this one, I'm just like, I'm going home.
This one has a really fancy clasp,
so it can't come out of your ear, which screams expensive.
This one's flimsy.
I don't know about that.
Actually, I take it back.
I'm gonna go with this one.
(bell dings)
Yes.
My first instinct once again was wrong.
I'm learning never follow my own instincts.
Usually people say the opposite.
No, not here.
Not I.
(upbeat music)
We have some rings.
Supposedly, this seems like it would be opal.
It's meant to be opal.
Maybe it is an actual opal.
This one has a little baby diamond in it.
Shoot y'all, I'm gonna go, oh wait.
Ooh, ooh, this one has engraving on the inside.
That seems fancy.
I think it's this one.
(buzzer buzzes)
I thought the engraving in it would mean it was special.
Whatever.
You know, I'm a cheap date is what I'm figuring out.
So don't take me shopping.
Just take me to dinner.
Have a nice bottle of champagne there
with some nice plates specifically.
And gimme some nice earrings and I'm a happy girl.
Everything else I'll handle on my own.
And I was so excited to play this
because I felt like I was gonna do really, really well.
Well thank you for watching
and being here with me to watch me fail.
That was fun and interesting.
I learned a lot about myself.
Bye.
Oh, you're still here?
What are you doing?
It's over.
Go home.
And don't forget to watch Outer Banks
and Knives Out Glass Onion.
Shoo.
