- There's something inside of this.
Yeah, I still don't see it
but I believe you.
See that sounds about right.
I have no idea.
I'm Loren Gray
and today I'm playing expensive taste test with Cosmo.
The game is simple.
They're gonna place two items in front of me
and I have to guess which one is more expensive.
I think I'm going to do very poorly.
I do not have expensive taste.
I'm very cheap
and I like to save my money,
so this is gonna be really hard for me.
I'm really nervous.
(upbeat jazz music)
First I'm gonna do the smell test.
Not that I think that's gonna do anything,
but we're gonna smell it.
It smells like a donut.
What do you know?
This one does too.
(upbeat music)
There are more sprinkles on these,
but they're not hitting the same.
I mean, it's really good.
Those kind of taste like grocery store donuts.
I'm probably so far off.
Okay, let's just try this one.
Mm.
I like that one better.
And they're bigger
and the glaze seems more intentional.
So I'm gonna have to go with this one being
the more expensive one.
Yes.
(upbeat jazz music)
We have some gold hoops,
which should be easy for me.
It's not.
These have the little...
This thing which I feel like always breaks.
I don't know about that.
This feels heavier
and not just by default.
And this,
I feel like expensive earrings
usually have this kind of back.
This doesn't feel right.
This doesn't feel right to me.
So I'm gonna say that these ones are more expensive.
(buzzer rings)
(Loren laughs)
See, that sounds about right.
I have no idea.
(upbeat jazz music)
Hmm.
Okay, I have no idea, okay.
These ones feel thicker,
but sometimes that's...
Do they though?
Sometimes that's misleading.
Okay, a little stretch test.
I don't know.
I always feel like
more expensive shorts don't fit me as well
because they don't have as much stretch.
So I usually prefer like cheaper shorts.
I'm gonna say just based on that fact alone
that these ones are more expensive.
Yay.
(upbeat jazz music)
I feel like this is a trick question
because off the bat I wanna say
that this one's more expensive because it's bigger.
It kind of looks like something I would wear, honestly.
Hmm.
Again, but this looks like something that like...
You'd be like Tiffany.
So,
the hardware on this one feels cheaper.
I don't know whose dog is fitting into this also.
It would be a really cute belt though.
I'm gonna say,
I'm going against my gut feeling
and saying that this one's more expensive.
(buzzer buzzes)
A $102 for a dog collar.
My dog's like this big,
so probably leaning more towards something like this.
But I get her harnesses on Amazon.
So I don't know.
(upbeat jazz music)
I am somewhat of a sweatpants connoisseur.
I buy a lot of sweatpants.
It's the majority of my clothing collection.
But I like cheaper sweatpants
'cause I like the way they fit better.
So I feel like more expensive sweatpants
are usually thicker and I don't like that
because it feels less comfortable to me.
So that's what I'm thinking of.
So these,
they're different styles too.
I hate sweatpants like this.
I don't know why.
It feels like my ankles are suffocating
but these feel thicker
than these.
The drawstring is also important.
Let's look at that.
They're pretty much the exact same.
This one's more of a ribbon though.
This one's a little thicker,
but I would be more inclined to wear these
because of the bottom
and because they're more lightweight.
These ones are more expensive?
Yes?
Oh thank God.
(upbeat jazz music)
Shoes are a tough one for me
because I feel like
sometimes really expensive shoes look cheap.
So here we have the braided strap
but they do feel cheaper than these.
These feel fancy
'cause I feel like a lot of times
luxury brands are doing a little puffy,
a little puffy thing.
Also, let's look at the souls.
There's no grip on these ones,
so that's a little scary.
And there's grip on these ones.
So now I'm changing my opinion a little bit.
Also, I feel like these will come apart really easily.
But then these, I'm like...
I don't know, it could go either way.
There's something inside of this.
Maybe it's like
some fancy technology.
Ooh.
And this part is not giving,
but these ones make sense to me.
I'm gonna say...
I'm gonna say these are more expensive.
(buzzer buzzes)
What?
I feel like I need to inspect my shoes better now
before I purchase them
because this does not make sense to me.
(upbeat jazz music)
I'm not good at jewelry.
I don't really buy expensive jewelry.
I've only ever received expensive jewelry as gifts.
We're gonna inspect this.
These are one of those little charm bracelet situations.
Has a little angel charm,
very on brand.
A little American flag action.
And it's recyclable.
Okay.
This is a singular feather,
and I feel like I'm usually misled
because I always assume that smaller, daintier things
are more expensive.
And this case...
(upbeat music)
This one's more expensive.
(buzzer buzzes)
What?
Oh, but I missed this.
There's a little diamond action.
Yeah, I still don't see it,
but I believe you.
(upbeat jazz music)
Off the bat,
I wanna say this one's more expensive
because sometimes when I see sequins,
I just automatically assume like Claire's.
Okay, zippers.
(upbeat music)
This one has a lining.
So does this one though.
Because this looks like something
that a person with a lot of money
would spend a lot of money on.
This could very well be
just because I feel like the zipper's a little bit better.
It's a little heftier.
Like this one feels more structure.
But then this one feels like...
Yeah, I could see that.
Expensive for some reason.
So I'm gonna say this one's more expensive.
(buzzer buzzes)
No?
Okay.
My makeup bag was free.
Like I (indistinct) it and I got it for free.
And if it works, it works.
And makeup spills inside of things all the time.
I just don't...
I wouldn't.
(upbeat jazz music)
This is a field I'm very knowledgeable in
as a pale girl
striving and struggling to be tan every day.
Okay.
(upbeat music)
Okay, the colors are very important.
That one's a little gray.
I feel like I might know what that one is.
I like the one on the right better.
I like the color better.
This one looks a little green.
Oh my God.
It's getting everywhere.
I'm gonna be really sad
if this is the more expensive one
because this is very much gray.
It's very much green.
This one is a nice warm tone
and it fluffed up more.
So this one I'd be more inclined to use.
Also this one stay in the table a little bit.
So I feel like it would last longer.
So I'm gonna say
that one is more expensive.
A $1.50 for some tan?
Oh my gosh.
Don't do that to yourself.
Self tan is something that you should
spend the money on
because there are very severe consequences
for a bad self tan.
I think I learned a lot about myself through this process.
I think there are things that I understand really well
and there are things that I absolutely don't
and I don't think I did very well.
But that's just...
I'm just so humble.
