00:00 Ah, it does look cheap.
00:02 Ah, man, need to talk to my stylist.
00:06 What's up y'all, it's Caleb McLaughlin
00:08 and I'm doing expensive taste test with Cosmo.
00:11 I'm a visual guy but I'm very good with my senses
00:14 in terms of smell and taste.
00:16 So if you stink around me, sorry, I know you stink.
00:20 Let's do this.
00:21 Looks like champagne.
00:29 Okay, mm, nom, nom, nom.
00:31 That stinks.
00:35 It might be the glass, can't tell you.
00:37 I don't know, but this one smells better.
00:40 But let's try it out.
00:42 Actually, it's good though.
00:47 I like this one.
00:52 I'm gonna say this is the expensive one
00:53 'cause of the fizz.
00:54 So I got it at Empty.
00:58 Okay, I've been around, I've been around.
01:00 I don't like how this one looks though.
01:06 Like why is it bursting?
01:07 Why is it coming out like that?
01:09 Or is it like that?
01:10 I don't know.
01:10 Mm, smells pretty cool.
01:15 Smells like Skittles.
01:19 Well, let's go for the taste test then.
01:26 Mm, I don't really have much to say.
01:29 It's sour, it's sweet, it's colorful.
01:33 Pretty cool.
01:35 Mm, that one's sour.
01:38 Okay, my judgment, if you go to a corporate building
01:44 and that front desk, they always have candies.
01:46 It's always hard candy.
01:47 It's never like gummy, you know?
01:50 This is more gummy.
01:51 It's still kind of hard, but I feel like
01:53 a corporate building is like, you know,
01:54 they want to make sure they have the best stuff.
01:56 So I'm gonna say this is the more expensive one.
01:58 I'm right?
02:00 My judgment is right.
02:03 This one, the cheaper one.
02:07 I think I like cheaper things better.
02:09 We are looking at is the iconic character,
02:15 Lucas Sinclair on the hit TV show, "Stranger Things."
02:18 I wanna be him when I grow up.
02:20 I know which one is more expensive
02:22 just because of the detail.
02:24 This is dope.
02:25 Love the detail on this, is, you know,
02:26 the pop dolls and stuff, like the big head.
02:30 Definitely don't have a big head like this.
02:32 But I think it's the detail on this.
02:34 Look at his eyes, man.
02:35 Look at the shape of the body.
02:36 He's like, that's how he looks.
02:38 Look at him.
02:39 And he has, look, he has his own platform.
02:41 He don't have that.
02:42 I'm sorry, bro.
02:43 Gotta give it to this guy.
02:44 But he has the better fit.
02:46 He does have the better fit,
02:47 but I'm gonna go with this one.
02:48 This one is more expensive.
02:49 I'm very detailed.
02:53 "Stranger Things" has been a big part of my life.
02:55 It's shown me so much.
02:56 I've traveled around the world.
02:58 So I think it's gonna be sad,
02:59 but it's time for it to end.
03:00 Like, we don't wanna stretch out a classic.
03:02 We don't wanna milk the cow too much.
03:04 I guess they're the same age Simba.
03:09 They're just different sizes.
03:12 This one is smaller and this one's bigger.
03:14 Usually they would say, like,
03:15 the bigger one is the more expensive one
03:16 and the smaller one isn't.
03:18 But, you know, big things do come in small packages, though.
03:23 It's fluffy, okay.
03:25 Squishy.
03:25 Let me look at, like, the eyes.
03:30 Is there anything different?
03:31 The tag.
03:33 Okay.
03:34 'Cause, you know, this could be the small one,
03:35 but it may have, like, a golden eye
03:37 and this may have the same eyes
03:38 and that could be more expensive, so.
03:40 They look the same to me.
03:43 This one looks a little crazy, though.
03:45 I just say this one is more expensive.
03:52 Okay, I may get this one wrong.
03:53 I don't know.
03:54 I love basketball.
03:55 I played basketball all my life.
03:57 You know what, I'm just gonna look through these.
04:00 By the color, I'm not sure.
04:03 Indoor game, okay.
04:05 That could be expensive because it's indoor.
04:07 Is this outdoor or indoor?
04:08 Mm-hmm.
04:09 So, okay, so they're both the same size.
04:13 It's the same.
04:14 Let me see.
04:15 Huh.
04:16 It's because it's indoor.
04:25 This is the more expensive one.
04:27 Probably, you guys already seen "Shooting Stars,"
04:30 the LeBron James project.
04:31 I was able to meet him
04:32 and it was a really dope experience.
04:34 He congratulated me on just everything
04:36 I've been doing in my career.
04:37 He's a really cool, really nice guy.
04:39 Okay.
04:43 I'm gonna do the sniffing test.
04:46 You know what, I already know which one it is
04:49 'cause you see more of the orangey Cheeto puffs
04:54 at any store.
04:56 This is bland as hell.
04:58 I don't get it.
04:59 This should be more expensive 'cause it tastes better.
05:01 I don't even need to taste it.
05:02 I'm gonna taste it though 'cause I'm hungry.
05:04 Mm, cool.
05:07 Let's see if it's bland.
05:09 Wait.
05:13 [smacking lips]
05:16 It's not bland, but it looks bland.
05:18 I'm gonna say this one is more expensive though.
05:20 I just feel like it is.
05:22 Yeah.
05:23 We're looking at water, H2O.
05:29 Agua.
05:30 Hmm, I'm gonna go for the test.
05:38 [smacking lips]
05:41 Mm.
05:47 I feel like the cheaper waters,
05:49 at least tap water is cold.
05:52 It has a smell.
05:53 And I guess the more expensive ones don't.
05:57 This tastes more like a tap water.
05:59 So I'm gonna say this one is more expensive.
06:01 Yo, come on.
06:04 [laughing]
06:07 [upbeat music]
06:10 These look like Amazon earrings.
06:12 They're two different ones?
06:13 - Yeah. - Mm-hmm.
06:14 - Oh, shoot.
06:15 I'm gonna just feel how it snaps in and out.
06:18 Mm.
06:26 It's a little tougher.
06:30 If you're gonna invest more money into something,
06:33 you wanna make sure it's more sturdy
06:35 and it's able to clip onto the ear.
06:38 So I would say, is it this one?
06:40 Yeah, this one is the more expensive one.
06:45 [buzzer buzzing]
06:46 Dang.
06:47 It just feels more sturdier.
06:49 Dang.
06:50 Probably like 50, $40.
06:55 Bro, I'm so off.
06:58 See, yo.
06:59 I said 50, 40, 40, $50.
07:04 150, all right, bet.
07:06 We're looking at jean jackets with a coat of fur inside.
07:13 I would say I like fashion.
07:15 No, I would say I love fashion.
07:17 Feels cool.
07:18 This is definitely nice and warm.
07:19 You could wear this in New York.
07:20 I would wear this, though.
07:23 This is fire, not gonna lie.
07:32 Mm.
07:33 What is this?
07:36 This looks expensive.
07:39 This looks very expensive.
07:40 See, these are different from the arms.
07:45 But this one has fur and they just gave up on this one.
07:48 They was like, you know, I don't have enough money
07:50 to finish out the whole arm,
07:51 but we're gonna add a different cloth,
07:53 different fabric to this one
07:55 'cause they had the money to do it.
07:57 This is the more expensive one.
07:58 [buzzer buzzing]
07:59 Dang.
08:01 Dang.
08:02 Dang.
08:04 - The cheaper one, that one's $59.
08:07 - Ah, it does look cheap.
08:09 Ah, man.
08:12 Need to talk to my stylist.
08:13 So I got seven out of nine, guys.
08:15 I'm happy with my score, you know?
08:17 Everybody knows me from "Stranger Things,"
08:18 but I do have more projects coming out.
08:19 The next one will be "The Book of Clarence."
08:22 Then I also have a scary movie.
08:23 It's called "The Deliverance," directed by Lee Daniels.
08:25 You know, I have a lot of other stuff coming.
08:27 It's Caleb, guys.
08:28 Thank you for watching "Expensive Taste Test" with me.
08:32 Peace.
