Beauty vs. Functionality: Evaluating Formative Design in Consumer Products
Determine whether aesthetically pleasing products perform as well as their plainer counterparts, or if superior design actively distracts from core functionality.
Short Summary
- The round-up tested four categories: lighters, pour-over coffee setups, Bluetooth speakers, and toasters.
- Aesthetic choices often introduce operational complications or fail on basic performance metrics like portability or sound fidelity.
- In the final toaster test, the beautiful, expensive option actually produced toast with superior perceived taste.
- The hosts overwhelmingly defaulted to the less attractive, functionally superior ("beast") options across most categories.
This episode frames the debate around prioritizing visual appeal ("form") versus necessary utility ("function"). Observe specific test outcomes for various household gadgets as the hosts compare high-design, often expensive items against cheaper, utilitarian alternatives.

Would love to see Rhett and Link try and paint like Bob Ross by following one of his videos.
It seems like Brittany just bought stuff she likes and Link thinks shes got grandma taste.
The 'beautiful' tabletop lighter looks like a clear jello mold salad from the '50s.
Words cannot convey how DELIGHTED I am that the massage song continues to be a running bit, it's such a bop
Who wouldve guessed that it would be Rhett to stick a fork in the toaster, and not Link? 😅 these two are always keeping us guessing
The wood and glass pour over is prettier and more sophisticated. The cheaper pour over that looks like a toddler tea set.
"I don't like toast. I don't believe in it. It makes the bread hard" ~ Link Neal 2025
my mind is gonna hear rhett singing about his neck massage now all day
Almost $200 for a chunk of resin with a cheap knock off zippo lighter insert inside is absolutely insane. More cause the actual lighter part. Literally a fitting piece for a Zippo
I love when there’s an opportunity to insert the Ambient massage song in it & they take it!! 😂 so dang catchy!!
