- This is making me feel nostalgic.
I thought I was purposely being thrown off.
Oh my God.
It smells like straight up alcohol.
Hey, I'm Peyton List
and I'm playing "Expensive Taste Test" with Cosmo.
The rules are simple, I'll be given two products
and then I have to choose which one is more expensive.
I feel like my expensive taste test meter's pretty good.
I don't wanna get too cocky, but I think it's pretty good.
I feel like if I feel it, if I get a sense for it,
then I can tell if it's quality or not.
(cheerful music)
Why are we starting off?
So, I don't know, I'm like looking at the,
because the pattern and the color,
I feel like this pattern like,
automatically looks cheaper to me.
I don't know why.
There's no logic here.
And they feel kind of similar.
Like I'm trying to feel if one feels more synthetic,
like this one feels slightly more synthetic to me.
And this one feels a little more expensive.
This one feels just lighter.
This one feels like it's a little bit more expensive.
I'm gonna go with this one.
(cheerful music)
Wait they're cashmere, both of them?
I cannot feel cashmere I guess,
I don't have like a quality sense of sweaters.
Okay, this one feels pretty soft.
I have no clue.
Maybe this one's quality's a little nicer,
but the buttons are throwing me off.
They're just these like little basic plastic buttons
and I feel like I judge like an article of clothing,
based off the buttons.
Like sometimes I'll replace the buttons,
just to make something seem more expensive.
I'm gonna go with this one.
No?
This one does feel so much better,
but the buttons are throwing me off.
(joyful music)
These are just so different, these phone cases.
This one opens up and what's this material?
They both feel like they're a plastic material.
I don't, oh, this is leather.
That changes it.
This one's gotta be more expensive then with the leather,
because this is just like plastic and bedazzles.
Yeah, I'm gonna go with this leather like little,
wallet situation being more expensive.
(buzzer beeps)
What?
That's ridiculous though.
(cheerful music)
Okay, that one smells really strong.
I like cleaner.
Oh god this one smells a lot more floral,
but I can't decide because sometimes like,
the ones that are medicinal that are really strong,
like topicals, I feel like they can be more expensive, so.
Oh that feels really nice, super soft.
I feel like the cheap ones typically like work really well.
So the more floral one feels lighter
and it feels more expensive to me,
it feels a little more hydrating.
Like this one feels like it like leaves,
like a little bit of residue.
Okay I think this one is the more expensive one.
Yes.
(cheerful upbeat music)
Oh, judging on the packaging, I have no idea.
Like I feel like they could still be equal.
I don't know what I'm smelling, but I don't know.
I am not gonna be helpful with that one.
Wow, both of these cents are really strong.
This one smells like that red hot gum.
The spicy cinnamon one.
This one feels slightly heavier,
but this is I feel like this is the more expensive candle.
Yes.
(joyful music)
Just gonna go for it.
That one taste like there's like texture to it.
So it makes me think that it's possibly the tap water.
Oh, now I'm really thrown off.
They will taste exactly the same to me.
This one almost seems like it has like a slight,
sparkling after taste.
I know it doesn't,
but like I'm just being specific.
I feel like this is the tap and this is the bottled water.
Final answer.
What?
(cheerful upbeat music)
You guys are purposely trying to throw me off,
with the packaging because I feel like this would be,
like the obvious choice for the cheaper one.
Oh my God, it smells like straight up alcohol.
It just feels like pure rubbing alcohol.
Okay, let me try this one.
This plastic feels like thicker and more sturdy.
I'm so thrown off.
I feel like since this is the name brand one,
from what it seems like, I would guess this one.
Damn it.
I thought I was purposely being thrown off.
(upbeat music)
Okay, oh all I can small is hand sanitizer.
Hold on.
That doesn't really have much of a scent.
Let's see.
(cheerful music)
Not a crazy scent.
It's super lightweight.
I cannot tell by the bottles.
This gold cap looks cheaper than that cap,
but oh that's a lot thicker.
And it seems like a lot more goopy,
which makes me think it's cheaper.
I have to smell it like this.
Yeah, this has more of a scent,
which makes me think it's cheaper.
Like I feel like unscented things are cleaner.
Okay, yeah, I'm gonna have to go with this one,
being the more expensive one.
(cheerful music)
Okay, so just looking at the packaging, I can't tell.
I feel like they'd be the same price.
So this is making me feel nostalgic.
Like middle school.
Let's see.
That one smells a little more mature,
but oh, now I'm thrown off.
I feel like this is more of like a body mist
and this feels more like a perfume.
I have no idea, is this one more expensive?
It is?
This was a little bit easier than I thought.
I wasn't sure how expensive my taste was, to be honest.
But on that note, don't forget to watch my new show,
"School Spirits" on Paramount Plus.
Thanks guys.
(joyful music)
