00:00Hello, it's me.
00:03Hallelujah.
00:06Hi, I'm Meg Donnelly, and I'm playing
00:08Expensive Taste Test with Cosmo.
00:12I have no idea how I'm going to do.
00:14I came into it really confidently, and now that I'm here,
00:17I'm like, mm.
00:24Okay, so we have two iced coffees.
00:26This little foam thing right here makes it seem like,
00:29oh.
00:30Okay, I feel like this one is going to, okay, wait.
00:34Yeah, that's the one.
00:37Put some whipped cream on top?
00:38Come on.
00:39Yeah.
00:42I think I need some more.
00:44Okay.
00:46You know when sometimes the cold brew or iced coffee tastes
00:49like pure gasoline, this is what it smells like?
00:52Or it kind of tastes like a pretzel sometimes?
00:54Oh.
00:58Pungent.
00:59Just by pure taste, I think this one is more expensive.
01:02And like I said, the little foam.
01:03This one's like Nespresso, and this one's like,
01:08like, wah!
01:09It's giving like, the ones that are like in the container.
01:13Or like an artsy cafe.
01:15They like have the cold brew and you taste it and you're like,
01:17wah!
01:20Ooh!
01:21Yeah, I would say this one.
01:25I'm wrong!
01:26I think I went personal pref and don't think that's the move.
01:32So I might have to switch it up a bit.
01:40We have two microphones.
01:43Hello.
01:44Ooh.
01:45Wow.
01:46Hello.
01:47It's me.
01:49This sounds nice.
01:50It's good.
01:51I don't know.
01:52This one seems more fancy because it has some red in the buttons.
01:55Oh, and there's rev.
01:57I don't even.
01:58Oh, reverb.
01:59EQ, volume.
02:01Oh, I guess this has those buttons too.
02:03But rev is fancier.
02:05But I like this one.
02:06And it, like, I like all the colors.
02:08Color on.
02:10Fancy.
02:11Hello.
02:12Whoa.
02:13Yeah.
02:15Whoa.
02:16Wow.
02:17I really like this one.
02:18I think this one's more expensive.
02:20It sounds like a place where that one person on social media
02:24would sing hallelujah.
02:25You know what I'm talking about?
02:26They're, like, in an empty, like, space.
02:28And they're, like, hallelujah.
02:30Gets a million likes.
02:32Okay.
02:33I think this one.
02:34Yes.
02:36Good night.
02:37Keep it a great audience.
02:38Ooh.
02:39We got some top hats.
02:40Moulin Rouge vibes.
02:41I wear a very large top hat.
02:42And diamonds as I'm descending into the audience.
02:45Which is really cool because there's, like, magnets and, like, under my wig and in the hat.
02:51So I literally go, goop, goop.
02:52And then it stays on like that.
02:53When I was younger, I used to...
02:54Top hat.
02:55Oh, no.
02:56Maybe I lost it.
02:57Hold on.
02:58Let me try again.
02:59M'lady.
03:00I feel like my first impression is...
03:01Oh, no.
03:02Maybe I lost it.
03:03Hold on.
03:04Let me try again.
03:05M'lady.
03:06I feel like my first impression is...
03:13Is this one?
03:14Because it has, like, suede, which is really nice.
03:31That must be Bryce-y, maybe.
03:33And this one just feels more, like, floppier.
03:36more like Halloween costume, you know?
03:39And this one's more like,
03:42I'm going to see a Broadway show.
03:44And the inside looks nice.
03:45Like it has all of this like lining, it's like white.
03:48I feel like this ribbon is like thinner
03:50and it kind of just feels like it was placed like quickly
03:55but this one feels like it was more like sewed on.
03:58More time and care into this top hat per se.
04:02I am going to say this one, final answer.
04:08Yes, let's go.
04:16Okay, right in front of us, we have satin heels.
04:19I feel like this little heel always gives like, you know?
04:25I also feel like the way like the heel is shaped
04:28and the way it like goes up really fast,
04:30these would be very uncomfortable.
04:31Some of the most expensive shoes are very uncomfortable
04:34as well, so that doesn't mean anything.
04:35But also the jewels, I feel like came as one
04:41and they just went doot doot.
04:42But this one looks like it was like all placed in,
04:45like handcrafted.
04:48And also the color difference too.
04:50This feels more like, ooh.
04:51And this one's more like, oh.
04:54Now that I'm looking at them, I'm like, no,
04:56but like what if it's, what if it's these?
04:58The material's satin.
05:00Yeah, I feel like this one, this satin feels better
05:04than this one.
05:06This one's more like,
05:08and this one's like more like, satin.
05:12I think these.
05:13Is it more expensive?
05:14Yeah.
05:18I'm wrong.
05:20Oh, no.
05:21Do you want to know the price difference?
05:23Yes.
05:24$235.
05:26$235.
05:27$1,295.
05:30That is blasphemous.
05:31These are two blue wigs that I have in front of me.
05:40It's now an inside joke with everybody that I meet,
05:43who's like a fan of the zombie movies.
05:45They're always just like, you in that damn wig.
05:47I'm like, yeah, that's me.
05:49Also that scene in Zombies 2 with Milo being like,
05:53says the girl wore a wig her whole life.
05:54Says the girl who wore a wig her whole life.
05:56That became a whole thing.
05:57So now every time I hear wig, I'm like, wig, yeah, that's me.
06:01Wednesday, I'm an expert yet,
06:03but I've worn so many wigs in my life.
06:05So I feel like this one feels more natural, like hair.
06:10This one feels more like synthetic,
06:12but it looks really nice.
06:14Yeah.
06:15The hairline's kind of like,
06:17well, there's obviously lace in there,
06:19but it's like a fake hairline.
06:20But this one just has lace.
06:22It's like almost like netting.
06:23Like it just kind of feels very like synthetic.
06:25The color feels more alien vibes for sure.
06:28But I feel like this hair is so much more natural.
06:32Oh, and this too.
06:33This helps.
06:34The lace front.
06:36I don't think this one has a lace front,
06:39but this one does.
06:40So it'll go over your head and you can help like pull it down
06:43and then cut it.
06:44Those damn wigs.
06:45Um, this one.
06:50Yes.
06:51I guess I know what I'm talking about.
06:55I know what I'm talking about.
06:58Croissant stuffed animal.
07:00Um, this one.
07:04And I know.
07:05I know my jelly cats very well.
07:07I'm going to assume that jelly cats are more expensive.
07:09So if we're doing that, my math.
07:13It's the feet.
07:14Like the feet.
07:14The feet are always this size.
07:17These are way too big for a jelly cat.
07:19And the color is off.
07:20It's like a light brown.
07:22Jelly cat feet are always this like dark brown.
07:25I sound insane.
07:26There's always a tag here, which I usually cut off.
07:29But there's no tag on this one.
07:31Fake!
07:32So yeah.
07:32So this one definitely says jelly cat.
07:35And it says, I'm a croissant.
07:37It's also the face.
07:38I think everything about the dupe is that it's large.
07:43Like the feet are bigger.
07:45The smile's bigger.
07:47Eyes are bigger.
07:47And just like the actual size of it is bigger than a normal jelly cat.
07:53But it's still really cute.
07:55That's why.
07:55I would say everything is just like two times the size.
07:59This one.
08:03Yeah!
08:05He's so cute.
08:12We have pickles.
08:15I love pickles.
08:16I feel like this looks like a textbook pickle.
08:19Perhaps.
08:19But this one looks like there's like spices in them.
08:21Like.
08:23Ooh.
08:24Is that like mustard?
08:25Honey.
08:26What is it called?
08:26Mustard seeds.
08:27But I don't know.
08:28Because they're more like they're less like bright.
08:31Maybe that means they're more like organic.
08:34And like costs more.
08:36Let's try.
08:38Mmm.
08:40Yeah, these are definitely flavored.
08:42Crunch factor is amazing.
08:43That's just a standard pickle.
08:52But I think because these are flavored.
08:55And there's like the honey seeds on them.
08:57I think that has to be more expensive.
08:59So I'm going to go with these.
09:03Yes!
09:03Let's go!
09:05I have one more.
09:06We have two masks.
09:15Very Moulin Rouge.
09:17If I was going to a masquerade ball, which one would I want?
09:20I didn't see you with a mask in your hands without masking.
09:23What was the Masked Singer like?
09:24Who?
09:25The Masked Singer was so much fun.
09:28It gave me so much confidence performing and singing in front of a bunch of people.
09:33And it was really freeing because I was behind a mask and nobody knew who I was.
09:37And especially with Moulin Rouge, like every night I just am telling myself, I'm like just
09:41have fun, listen to everybody on stage, just like be in the moment.
09:45The mental game is the hardest part about this industry.
09:47And so the Masked Singer definitely helped me start that journey.
09:50If I was going to a masquerade ball, which one would I want?
09:54Let's see how it feels on the face.
09:58Oh, this feels nice.
10:01Masquerade!
10:03Felt great on the face.
10:04Maybe you want to sing Masquerade from Phantom.
10:06So I think that that means it's pretty comfy.
10:09Oh, this one feels kind of like, oh, that feels comfortable too.
10:13But the material on the inside is way more,
10:16like this one feels more, not plasticky, but it feels more like hard shelled.
10:21This one has just like more texture and more like grooves in it.
10:24There's just so much more detail on this.
10:27Just kidding.
10:28But, but I think there's way more like texture maybe is the right word.
10:33It's getting like autumn fairy, the autumn court, if anyone reads Akhtar.
10:39I really love this one with the feathers and the lace.
10:44And this one's really cool too.
10:45But I feel like if you go to New Orleans, this is like the standard one that you get.
10:50And this one's like way more like elegant and free.
10:54I'm going to go with this one.
10:58Yes, sir.
10:59Yay.
11:00I think six out of eight is pretty good.
11:02I really didn't know how I was going to do.
11:04And getting the first one wrong made me really nervous.
11:07Start sweating a little bit.
11:08So I'm really excited that I got six out of eight.
11:11Thank you so much for watching.
11:12Be sure to check me out on Broadway.
11:15That was so fun.
