00:00 I wish you could feel this.
00:01 If you've ever touched hair in your life,
00:03 this is not it, sis.
00:05 Hey y'all, it's Ginger Minj,
00:07 and today I am playing Expensive Taste Test with Cosmo.
00:11 I don't know how I'm gonna do at this game.
00:14 I think I'm gonna be good,
00:16 because I grew up in the trailer park,
00:18 so I know what all the cheap stuff is,
00:20 and whatever's not the cheap stuff
00:22 is probably gonna be the expensive stuff.
00:24 (upbeat music)
00:27 (upbeat music)
00:30 You think you can go fool me with this Dollar Tree bullshit?
00:34 Look, you can't even properly clack this thing.
00:36 What is that?
00:38 Nobody likes that.
00:40 That's wimpy.
00:41 Let's just look at this one for a moment.
00:43 Still cheap, because these are bamboo right here.
00:47 This is not the hard plastic
00:48 that a lot of the clack fans are made out of right now,
00:50 but it is still very nicely made.
00:53 Let's see if it's got any heft.
00:56 No, it's better.
00:57 This sounds like a zipper.
00:59 I'm just gonna tell you right now,
01:00 this one is clearly more expensive than this one,
01:03 but neither one of 'em are good.
01:05 This seems like some straight white woman fan
01:11 that she buys on Etsy to go to the drag club
01:15 to be like, "Yes, queen, work, slay, okay."
01:18 (upbeat music)
01:24 Delusion, the new fragrance by Ginger Minj.
01:28 Let's start with this right here.
01:29 The bottle is cute from a distance,
01:33 and then you realize the little disco ball is very,
01:36 it's plastic, it's just molded plastic.
01:38 It does have heft to the bottle,
01:40 but if you look at it, the perfume ends
01:43 like a good third of the way up the bottle.
01:46 Let's smell it, let's see what it does.
01:48 It's a little alcoholy.
01:52 It's nice, like if this was three for 10,
01:54 I'd buy three bottles.
01:55 Okay, let's move over here to this biddle-ottle.
01:59 It is a smaller bottle, but if you notice,
02:03 it's a wide bottle, and girth does matter, ladies.
02:06 Girth matters.
02:08 Let's smell this one.
02:10 Ooh, ooh, this smells like bug spray.
02:14 Are you sure this is perfume?
02:16 It smells like a designer bug spray,
02:19 and I feel bad saying that.
02:20 Maybe it's one of those things you gotta let it sit
02:22 on the skin for a minute, which lets me know
02:25 that there's a lot of essential oil in this.
02:27 So this is oil-based.
02:29 This is not.
02:30 This is expensive.
02:31 $205.
02:36 That better keep every mosquito away from me.
02:38 Now, can I keep the bottle?
02:40 Can I give this to my mother?
02:43 She loves the woods.
02:45 (upbeat music)
02:50 Okay, so we have biscuits right here,
02:53 and I would consider myself to be a biscuit connoisseur.
02:56 Let's go with this one.
02:58 Oh, this smells, I know exactly what this biscuit is.
03:03 It is dense, but small, like me.
03:07 Flaky, also like me.
03:09 And I would say about 90% butter, also like me.
03:14 Oh, this is so good.
03:17 It tastes like childhood.
03:19 It's chewy, takes a while.
03:21 Kind of fights you going down, you know,
03:23 but just helps you savor it a little bit longer.
03:26 Oh, I guess I should try the other one.
03:29 You wait there, baby.
03:29 Mama's coming back.
03:31 Okay.
03:32 It smells cheesy, which is really nice.
03:36 It's much bigger than this biscuit,
03:39 but it weighs about half the amount of this one.
03:42 Let me break it apart real quick.
03:44 Oh, it's got a good pull.
03:45 It's good.
03:48 I felt it up, I was like,
03:49 "Oh my God, it's gonna be like burnt cheese in clouds.
03:53 It's gonna be great, like heaven."
03:55 But honestly, after a bite or two,
03:56 I think I'd go back to this biscuit.
03:58 This is clearly the cheap version.
04:01 This is the expensive one.
04:03 I would always go with the cheap one
04:06 'cause I like the cheap one better.
04:08 I have a really great biscuit recipe in my book.
04:11 Not that this is bad, like you do great work,
04:13 but I feel like you would benefit
04:15 from cheese on top of it as well.
04:17 (upbeat music)
04:20 This is nice.
04:24 Some of it smells like rubbing alcohol,
04:26 so I'm a little concerned.
04:27 Oh, now, okay.
04:30 I know that it's gonna have like a sweet hint to it.
04:33 I would cook with this right here.
04:35 I think, I don't know, I'm gonna try it.
04:37 (upbeat music)
04:39 Yes, oh, this is good.
04:41 This is, it's very sweet.
04:42 This looks like this,
04:45 but if it had ice in it for about four hours, it's thin.
04:49 And it smells like rubbing alcohol.
04:53 (slurping)
04:56 It's about as subtle as a brick wall.
05:01 I think this one is the more expensive one.
05:03 This is good.
05:06 - It's only 60 bucks a bottle, it's not crazy.
05:09 - Only 60 bucks.
05:11 You know what, this is what we always did in the South.
05:13 You mix them together and then.
05:15 That cuts that sweetness,
05:19 but it still keeps the rich flavor.
05:21 This is how we do it in the trailer park.
05:24 (upbeat music)
05:28 I don't know if my mother's watching right now.
05:33 If my father is, he'll finally be proud of me.
05:35 Look, dad.
05:35 (laughing)
05:38 Just kidding.
05:38 I don't know him.
05:42 We'll start over here.
05:43 To me, these are a little shiny.
05:45 It's really thin and the breasts are actually really heavy.
05:49 So if you see, like, it doesn't hold its shape.
05:53 It slips and it falls a lot, but it's not bad.
05:56 This one already feels like a more luxurious silicone.
06:01 It's a lot thicker, it's sturdier.
06:03 This is clearly, like, look at that.
06:05 It holds its shape.
06:07 This is clearly the expensive one.
06:09 Yes.
06:12 Oh, listen to that when it hits.
06:14 Yeah, that's good.
06:17 Listen to this.
06:18 Oh, it's like you ran over a jellyfish.
06:23 (upbeat music)
06:25 My favorite, it's gummy bears.
06:30 See, I want a breastplate that looks like this.
06:33 Just delicious snacks.
06:35 Visually, very similar, right?
06:38 Yeah, let's start over here.
06:40 Looks like a classic gummy bear, you know?
06:42 Like classic, gotta hear, you can see it.
06:47 It's good, it's very chewy, a little bit hard.
06:51 Over here in this bowl,
06:52 you can see the bear's got a more intricate design.
06:56 Do I need to put it back in my mouth for you, sir?
06:59 Like that, is that good?
07:02 Okay.
07:04 And literally just from my tongue touching the back of this,
07:07 there is so much flavor in here
07:10 and it tastes like fruit juice.
07:11 It tastes like actual things you would find in nature
07:14 when you put on your bug spray cologne
07:16 and you go foraging for fruits.
07:18 These are what you find growing on gummy bear trees.
07:20 I assume I've never been outdoors.
07:22 These are clearly the more expensive bear.
07:25 No?
07:28 Well, don't waste your money on this shit.
07:32 Go get these.
07:33 (upbeat music)
07:37 (upbeat music)
07:39 Oh, I like this.
07:40 I feel like I'm in the new sequel to Men in Black.
07:43 This is really nice.
07:46 The casing of this is luxurious.
07:49 I don't know how makeup works, obviously.
07:52 It smells nice, it doesn't smell like chemicals.
07:55 It is a really pretty shade of red.
07:59 Oh, you had me in your corner right up until the end.
08:03 This is sheer.
08:04 I've just put it on and it's already dripping.
08:06 You're gonna look like one of them killer clowns.
08:09 Okay, you don't wanna do that.
08:12 I'm afraid that this is the expensive one.
08:15 All right.
08:16 So this has actually got,
08:18 this has got some heft to it as well.
08:20 Now this looks like a tampon.
08:24 It smells sweet.
08:28 Let me swatch this.
08:29 Ah-ha!
08:32 I barely put that on there.
08:33 It is thick.
08:34 It's staying in place, it is not running.
08:37 Now you're throwing me for a loop.
08:38 You see, I got through the first ones and I'm like,
08:40 "Oh, this is easy.
08:41 "I'm gonna get all of these right."
08:43 I think this is the expensive one
08:46 and this is the cheap one.
08:47 And if it's not, it should be.
08:50 I'm wrong!
08:53 I quit.
08:56 Okay, I'll stay, I'll stay.
08:58 (upbeat music)
09:03 Are these from the Monet Exchange Collection?
09:06 Let me get a good look at this one over here.
09:08 I'd say there's about four or five shades in here
09:10 so you get more of a natural gradient effect.
09:13 The base of the roots are teased a little bit
09:16 so you can't see through to the scalp.
09:19 And then if you turn it inside out,
09:21 oh, see, this is really good.
09:22 It's the Velcro straps to make it bigger or smaller
09:25 for your head.
09:26 And they're Velcro, they're not little plastic loops.
09:28 This is actually a really well-made wig.
09:30 It's ugly.
09:32 But it's a really well-made wig.
09:34 I mean, I don't know why you would spend the money
09:36 on something that looks like that.
09:38 I mean, look at this.
09:40 I wish you could feel this.
09:42 If you've ever touched hair in your life,
09:45 this is not it, sis.
09:47 It does have a little bit of a hair blend here,
09:50 but there's not really any good low lights
09:53 so it still looks kind of flat.
09:56 Let's turn it inside out.
09:58 It's got a teeny tiny little strip right here,
10:01 but it does have the plastic hooks right here
10:02 that I was just talking about.
10:03 I feel like I'm probably going to be wrong
10:06 and then I'm gonna be pissed off,
10:08 but I feel like this is the more expensive wig.
10:11 Wow, $80 for, this was 200.
10:17 And this is about 200 times bigger than this,
10:22 so don't buy either of these.
10:24 Just reach out and touch somebody's hand
10:27 and we can get you in the wig that you need to be wearing.
10:30 I still feel like I got some of the other ones right too.
10:33 I just think that they didn't want me to be too perfect.
10:37 Now, if you want to hear about how unperfect
10:39 my entire life has been,
10:40 please read my brand new book,
10:42 "Southern Fried Sass" right here.
10:44 And you can pair it with a delicious meal
10:46 of a Popeye's biscuit, some gummy bears, and this whiskey.
10:51 So smooth.
