Noah Beck says he doesn't care about expensive things but shows up to play #ExpensiveTasteTest dressed in head to toe designer. While he stumbles on one item by going against his gut, the influencer, actor, and IPHIS underwear designer proves he's a pro at spotting quality (thank goodness for that, right? ). Watch as Noah goes from dismissing a $395 bracelet as an absolute joke ♀️ to admitting he’s the worst food critic, yet still nails the more expensive cronut and identifies exactly which juice is better tasting and therefore pricier.

00:00You can put like a piece of Nobu steak in front of me and then a piece of like Applebee's steak.
00:05Could not tell you the difference. I would love both.
00:08Hi, I'm Noah Beck and I'm playing Expensive Taste Test with Cosmo.
00:13I feel like I have a pretty good sense of taste for what is expensive and what's not.
00:18I say I don't care. I come from pretty humble backgrounds, but uh,
00:22you know, a nice thing here and there is nice.
00:24I don't care about expensive things as I'm wearing full Gucci, so.
00:28My parents are teachers, by the way. Just want to throw it out there.
00:38Face massagers. If you would have told me, do you have a face massager?
00:42I probably would have answered and been like, I think so, but none that look like this.
00:45So I am truly at a loss for words. Like I don't even know where to start.
00:50This looks like it's like half a gua sha in a sense.
00:53So I feel like it would, I feel like that's what you're going to do.
00:56Okay, so this one has a red light. So if this is like infrared or red light therapy,
01:01we're off to a great start. That seems expensive.
01:04It vibrates and there's a heating function.
01:09It feels great. Does it feel expensive?
01:14We'll see. Off touch, this one feels cheaper. It just feels lighter and it feels more cheap.
01:22Okay. It's on. We got red. They both have red. That's good.
01:27This one has blue. So that's a mode that this one doesn't have.
01:34Okay. Now that I'm feeling both, they're both kind of light.
01:39This one is very minimal, which makes me think it's kind of expensive.
01:43And this one has a brand on it, but this just looks so futuristic.
01:47I'm going to go with this one.
01:52Love that. This does look like an Amazon product. Like I could get this off TikTok shop.
02:04Okay. So we have two hats and I can't know the brands, right?
02:08That would kind of give it away, wouldn't it?
02:09It's got like almost like a nylon type feel, I would say.
02:13Very much like you could wear this on a run. It's kind of athletic in a sense.
02:19It's got a Velcro. Velcro is good. Velcro can also be cheap though.
02:24So see right off the bat, the lining on the inside is giving not expensive,
02:30but I could be wrong because it does also look soft in there.
02:34Let's take a look at the other one. See this one, I pick it up. It's very structured.
02:37It's got different lining, a bit more of like an elevated feel to it.
02:43It's made in the USA. It does say that.
02:45I think I'm going to get this one wrong.
02:53Wow. Okay. I was leaning this for the whole time, but then something last minute,
02:57I got a gut feeling. I was like, I feel like this is doing it.
03:06If I'm correct, these are clones.
03:10This one is definitely lighter than this one.
03:12This one seems to have a more sturdy feel to it.
03:15It's got really cool, kind of a textured pattern.
03:18That definitely cost a little for the packaging. That's not free.
03:21Some cool patterns on the side. I like that.
03:23This one, very plain bottle.
03:27I feel like I know this scent. You know what it smells like?
03:30It almost smells like the super generic Adidas cologne that I used to get from Ross.
03:34I mean that in like the most nostalgic way.
03:37This one,
03:38it does smell like a high fashion brand that made a cologne.
03:46Just because the packaging is like very good on this one,
03:49that almost makes me want to say it's like cheap, which is crazy.
03:52So that being said, I'm going to choose this one.
03:57Honestly, good. Good.
03:58Because I like that this is more expensive because they put time into this bottle.
04:02Here, we have two pairs of boxer brief underwears.
04:11This one's feeling like a ribbed cotton.
04:13It kind of feels like my tank that I'm wearing right now.
04:16It kind of has that. Comes back to you. So that's good.
04:19The same material almost comes up to the waistband.
04:22For the most part, they feel nice, which is well done.
04:27I actually have my own underwear brand.
04:28So that's why I'm like educated on the topic a bit.
04:32If these were a pair of EFEs, they would not be the most expensive,
04:34but they're great quality.
04:36These, speaking of great quality, these feel amazing.
04:39Like these are a great material.
04:41These are very soft.
04:43Okay, my mind has been made.
04:46I'm going to say these.
04:50Love that.
04:52As comfy as these are, these feel like took more to manufacture, I would say.
04:56But it also feels like these would be some kind of name brand.
05:02We have smoothies.
05:09Okay, consistency's good on both.
05:11So I give it a go.
05:12I'm kind of picky.
05:17That's good. It's really good.
05:22That's also good.
05:23Unless my taste buds are doing a trick on me, this feels very familiar.
05:27This feels like this is a naked juice poured into, is it?
05:32Wow.
05:32Okay, so I'm going to go here.
05:34Or is the naked more expensive?
05:37Okay, wait.
05:38I need to reanalyze this one.
05:44The difference is this one's naked and this one's not.
05:46That's all I know right now that is certain in my head.
05:48But this one is a little thicker and it tastes, dare I say, healthier almost.
05:54And so that what is leading me to say that this one is more expensive.
06:01Wow.
06:02Love that.
06:02Where's this one from?
06:04Okay, and it's expensive?
06:07Really?
06:14Cronuts.
06:15I love croissants.
06:16Like that is my whole explore page right now.
06:19I'll start here.
06:21Slip it around.
06:23Wow, this one's like delicate.
06:24Like I feel like I could quite literally like, it's like an accordion.
06:29Like I can like play it almost.
06:32It's like layered.
06:34Which makes me think that this one was very like meticulously done.
06:37This one seems a bit more cooked.
06:40These things are messy.
06:42Okay.
06:49Wow, that is...
06:53That's really good.
06:54That is special.
06:56When I took the bite, this was unveiled.
06:57I am not a huge filling guy.
06:59So that was a surprise.
07:00But a pleasant one.
07:01Like it was good.
07:03Then we're going to come over here.
07:04This one's definitely softer, like off the bat.
07:13Wow, you get the layers on that one.
07:16With food, I will say I am the worst critic.
07:19Like you can put like a piece of Nobu steak in front of me
07:22and then a piece of like Applebee's steak.
07:25Could not tell you the difference.
07:26I would love both.
07:27So that being said, I'm torn here.
07:28They're both good.
07:29Like they're both really good.
07:30Presentation alone, I want to go here.
07:35That one.
07:39Yeah?
07:40Wow.
07:41Okay, good.
07:42Good.
07:42I'm glad because that's a better presentation.
07:44I'm glad I'm not paying more for this.
07:52So we have two green insulated water bottles.
07:55Right off the bat, we're going over here.
07:56And this is like, it's like something I take camping.
07:58Like I'd put soup in here or something.
08:00I don't need soup like that, but it just feels like...
08:07Okay.
08:08Smooth grooves.
08:10Actually, some WD-40 on this.
08:13This is kind of squeaky, but the handle's nice.
08:15Like this is a good handle.
08:17Like, I don't know if you can see this,
08:18but this is very like sturdy metal right there.
08:21It's a great bottle.
08:23Something not very educated on how...
08:26I don't know.
08:26Okay.
08:27This one.
08:31Definitely smoother of a twist.
08:32That's good.
08:34That'll be some brownie points.
08:38Good handle as well.
08:39Not as sturdy.
08:40Falls down.
08:41This one, you have to push it.
08:43Look, I don't want to overthink this one too much.
08:45I'm going to say this one.
08:49Wow.
08:53Here we have two cable bracelets.
09:02I feel like I already know, but I'm going to explain why.
09:06So this one is obviously like thicker.
09:08They're both kind of woven in a similar way.
09:11Wait, now I'm a little thrown
09:14because I just saw something on this that I'll get to.
09:16But it's a good sturdy bracelet.
09:18I don't know what else to say about it.
09:20They're both black with a metal clasp.
09:23This one, if you look very closely, it's rubber.
09:27And so that is leading me to believe that it's not as expensive
09:30because it's rubber and it shouldn't feel more expensive
09:35if this were actual leather.
09:36But I could also see this one being from like Amazon.
09:39I'm going to go with the rubber one.
09:43Okay.
09:44I wanted to go the complete opposite way, but I feel like...
09:47How much do you think this is?
09:48$150.
09:49$395.
09:51A joke.
09:52An absolute joke.
09:53So my final score on Expensive Taste Test was 7 out of 8.
09:57And I'm proud of that.
09:59The one I did miss is going to haunt me in my sleep, of course.
10:01But I will have a very happy ride home with my snacks.
10:05Thank you, Cosmo, so much for having me.
10:07Follow me on all my socials at Noah Beck if you want.
10:09And thank you so much.
