Peloton instructor and dancing legend Cody Rigsby is an expert at many things... but will he add Expensive Taste Test to that list? We gave the new author rosé, cheese puffs (fit for a Connecticut mom), and cold brew that had a - strange- aftertaste to see if he could tell us which item had the more expensive price tag and it was absolutely hilarious! Check out his new novel, XOXO Cody, available where books are sold.

00:03 ♪ And I ♪
00:04 - Hey friends, I'm Cody Rigsby,
00:06 and I'm gonna be playing Expensive Taste Test with Cosmo.
00:09 Do I feel like I have expensive taste?
00:11 It really depends on the situation.
00:14 Sometimes I'm trashy, sometimes I'm classy.
00:16 I'm either going to like get everything
00:18 or I'm gonna fail horribly.
00:20 Let's do it.
00:21 These are cheese puffs.
00:26 I think I already know,
00:27 but which one is a better tasting product?
00:30 I already know that as well.
00:31 Like this is your classic cheese puff.
00:34 It has an orange color that you will not see in nature.
00:37 This is an abomination of an orange color,
00:39 and that's why it's delicious.
00:41 Mm, the flavor hits, it melts in your mouth.
00:46 This looks like some bullshit vegan something or something
00:49 that you're like trying to be healthy about,
00:52 but absolutely tastes like garbage.
00:54 Let's give that a test.
00:56 (Cosmo slurps)
00:58 Garbage, absolute garbage.
00:59 It tastes like cereal.
01:00 Like it tastes like cereal, it's not good.
01:02 But I guarantee these are more expensive.
01:05 Ah-ha, see, I knew it.
01:07 See baby, I just wanna go to the bodega,
01:09 I wanna get some cheese puffs at 1 a.m. in the morning,
01:13 coming home, this will get your life together.
01:16 This is for stuck up Connecticut moms
01:19 that think they're doing well by their children.
01:21 Okay, thank you.
01:25 I feel like you just put me on a blind date
01:27 with two different guys, and we're about to smell them.
01:30 I'll be honest, both containers look cheap.
01:33 I like the frosted glass on this.
01:35 Let's open her up.
01:37 The spritz area looks very industrial.
01:40 Let's pick up the flavors.
01:44 It's a little citrusy, and I might be wrong about that.
01:47 It's fresh, it's clean.
01:48 It might be giving Staten Island, though.
01:51 - If you smell a guy who smells like this, yes or no?
01:54 - If he has a big (beep) sure, but otherwise, no.
01:56 You can get away with a lot with a big (beep),
01:59 including a bad smelling cologne.
02:00 That smells like CVS, like the aisles of CVS.
02:08 It smells like prescriptions, drugs, candies.
02:12 I'm definitely not (beep) this guy,
02:14 even if he has a big (beep).
02:16 Not with that level of taste.
02:18 I hope, I hope it's that one.
02:20 Oh my God!
02:23 I always feel like cologne, no matter whatever it is,
02:25 less is more, baby.
02:27 If you just passed, and I can smell you as I walk past,
02:30 too much, too much.
02:31 Rose.
02:36 Is Rose basic?
02:37 Well, it is basic, but I love it, and that's okay.
02:41 We can love the basic things about ourselves.
02:43 I say embrace it, own it, be it, okay?
02:45 It smells like wine, maybe like a little bit of apple.
02:49 I don't (beep) know, like sure.
02:51 Graham crackers, that's what I smell in that one.
02:54 It could be a little bit more chilled,
02:57 but we're not gonna put that into the equation.
02:59 I would drink this one at first, enjoy the taste.
03:06 By the time I got drunk, I would switch to this one,
03:08 hoping that it's at least $3 cheaper.
03:11 This one's just a little bit smoother,
03:13 better tasting, better smelling.
03:16 Wine is like art, it's all a scam.
03:17 They're just selling it to you,
03:18 and hopefully you pay more for it.
03:20 I guess this one.
03:21 Ah, my friends, wine is a scam.
03:25 Get the cheaps up, there's more of it.
03:27 You get drunk, it's great.
03:28 We have two water bottles that I assume
03:36 hold like hot temperatures or cold temperatures.
03:39 This one feels richer, like it's heavier and heftier.
03:43 This one feels a little bit lighter.
03:45 You know, I like a little bit of heft in my hand,
03:47 and I think this one's a good one.
03:50 (laughing)
03:51 This top is a little bit crustier,
03:54 whereas this one's smooth and glidey.
03:56 It's a nice firm opening.
04:01 I lose a water bottle every day.
04:05 Either I'll hold onto one for six months,
04:07 and then I'll buy six consecutively,
04:09 'cause I'll lose it every week.
04:11 I can't keep track of my life.
04:12 I'm gonna go with this one.
04:15 (screaming)
04:16 Oh my God!
04:17 - It's $115.
04:18 - Oh my God!
04:19 Of course, it's black and sexier, I guess.
04:23 - What do you think is more physically exhausting,
04:25 a 45 minute hit and hills ride,
04:27 or back up dancing for Kingpin?
04:28 (laughing)
04:30 - I'm gonna go with a 45 minute hit and hills ride,
04:33 because let's be honest, Katie's not dancing that much.
04:36 She's looking beautiful and singing great,
04:38 and giving a camp performance,
04:40 but dancing, questionable, questionable.
04:42 Let me get this right,
04:47 you want to amplify my annoying ass voice?
04:49 Okay, that's a choice, all right.
04:52 I didn't know that there was a luxury market
04:54 for megaphones out there,
04:56 but hey, the more you know.
04:58 This is a little bit more fashion,
04:59 this feels a little bit more functional.
05:01 We're gonna have to get into the details
05:02 of how each one works.
05:03 There's an on button, there's also a siren.
05:06 (siren blaring)
05:07 Oh God, there's a record and play situation?
05:10 Are we gonna do that?
05:11 Hey girl.
05:13 Hey girl.
05:14 The volume goes pretty high.
05:17 One, two, three.
05:19 (sighing)
05:20 This one's heavier.
05:21 Hello?
05:22 Oh, that's only setting four.
05:24 My loneliness is killing me.
05:28 (singing)
05:29 There's no play, there's no record.
05:31 There is siren though.
05:33 Last time I think I had a megaphone in my hand
05:35 was during the promotional shoot
05:38 for my LOL series at Peloton.
05:40 We had Trixie Mattel, we had Carly Rae Jepsen,
05:43 JC Chazze, Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers,
05:46 and of course Mariah sprinkled us
05:48 a little festive Christmas magic
05:50 which was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
05:52 She was perfectly enough of a diva
05:55 that it was just perfect.
05:57 And it's kind of like you want Mariah to be a diva.
06:00 Like you want the show.
06:01 You don't want her to be necessarily like warm and fuzzy.
06:04 You want a little pettiness.
06:06 I love it, I love it.
06:07 Listen, I'm gonna go with this blue one.
06:10 Okay, yeah, she feels sleeker, nicer.
06:12 This has a little bit more functionality
06:14 but this one works.
06:16 [upbeat music]
06:18 We appreciate a chunky heel.
06:20 I have a beautiful collection of chunky heels and heels.
06:23 Okay, is it patent leather?
06:25 I don't know.
06:27 Vinyl?
06:28 It's giving something.
06:29 It feels sturdy though.
06:30 This is more of a regular leather.
06:33 This has a little cushion for the push in.
06:36 That strap feels pretty sturdy.
06:38 'Cause you know my girls, they be getting wasted
06:41 and pump these streets
06:42 and then that's how you sprain an ankle.
06:45 True story, the only time I ever sprained my ankle
06:47 I was running belligently drunk and I kaput.
06:51 Never from working out, never from dancing,
06:53 just from being a hot ass mess in the city.
06:55 This is giving cheap.
06:57 This is giving Charlotte a little too over the top,
06:59 a little, you know, you've got the pearl.
07:00 It's giving that.
07:02 And this is giving Miranda.
07:04 I'm going on old Miranda, not new Miranda
07:06 'cause I don't wanna drag Miranda through the mud.
07:08 Right now we're going with old Miranda.
07:10 These.
07:11 Oh my God.
07:13 - 1,250. - Oh gosh.
07:16 Oof, that's bad.
07:17 (upbeat music)
07:19 Oh, iced coffee.
07:22 Okay.
07:23 It's, you know, the color of coffee.
07:30 This one's a little bit lighter.
07:32 Okay, let's just go with taste test.
07:34 This is the problem with a lot of bottled iced coffees.
07:38 Sometimes it tastes like sunflower seeds to me.
07:40 I know that's a very random thing,
07:42 but let's try this one.
07:44 See, this one is lighter
07:49 and doesn't have as much of that flavor in it.
07:53 And I'm not above eating sunflower seeds.
07:55 It's just like a lot of work.
07:57 I'm gonna go with this one, the one on the right.
08:00 There's like barely any flavor here.
08:01 So I'm gonna go with that one.
08:03 Oh my God.
08:04 (upbeat music)
08:10 Okay, we've got some headphones.
08:12 Essential for workouts, for making my playlists,
08:16 drowning out screaming children on airplanes.
08:18 This is important.
08:20 First set of headphones.
08:22 We've got extendable here.
08:25 Okay.
08:27 Cushion.
08:28 This already has too many buttons.
08:30 That's not chic.
08:31 - Power on. - Oh.
08:40 These headphones are doing Beyonce's voice a disgrace.
08:42 Beyonce doesn't deserve that, okay?
08:44 Beyonce does not deserve that.
08:46 All right, now the next one.
08:47 That feels a little bit more chic.
08:49 There's about similar buttons,
08:51 but they feel a little bit more chic.
08:53 Oh, the swivel.
08:55 The swivel here is giving.
08:57 Oh yeah, the quality is way better here.
08:59 Like Beyonce's pumping.
09:01 I just wanna scream at the top of my lungs
09:02 that you will not break my soul
09:04 'cause Beyonce's coming in.
09:06 Okay.
09:08 The sound quality is 10 times better on that.
09:10 I'm gonna go with these ones.
09:11 To the left, to the left.
09:13 Yes.
09:14 These are 80 bucks?
09:16 Yeah, I can tell.
09:17 Candles.
09:23 Got in a lot of heat for talking bad about candles.
09:26 Candles are just not a very personal gift,
09:29 and that's just my hot take on it.
09:30 You know, there's a thematic of the frosted glass,
09:35 and that was cheaper last time,
09:37 so maybe that's a hint.
09:38 Frosted glass, not expensive.
09:40 This one has more of a ceramic glass.
09:43 This is giving Target, though.
09:44 I'm gonna be honest.
09:45 It smells like CVS again.
09:47 But CVS was expensive.
09:50 This feels sturdier.
09:51 Oh, but this has a tighter grip on it, you know?
09:54 And the smell is better.
09:55 I wanna say vanilla, but it's not vanilla.
09:57 It's probably the same name as a Lana Del Rey song.
10:01 My tax accountant's heartbreak in the summer in August.
10:04 - Scents is called peace and tranquility.
10:06 - Let's see.
10:07 What's the smell of this one?
10:08 - Rouge.
10:10 - I guess rouge.
10:13 Yes, okay!
10:14 I'm on a roll.
10:15 I am on a roll.
10:16 I'm hitting it.
10:17 Do I think candles are sexy for date night?
10:20 I think it's sexy, but don't forget to blow out the candle
10:22 when y'all go have sex, okay?
10:23 'Cause that's a fire hazard,
10:24 and I hope you have rental insurance, okay?
10:27 Thank you.
10:28 I got a five out of nine.
10:30 That's actually better than I thought I was going to get,
10:32 so I'm gonna take that score.
10:34 I have some room for improvement.
10:36 You know, I'm a simple kind of girl,
10:37 and I don't have expensive taste, I guess.
10:40 Thanks for watching me on Cosmo.
