Ha! My favorite is the kid who starts eating it before she even leaves :)

Yes!
I believe the first time I saw this phenomena chronicled was a TED talk. I keep desperately wanting to believe I would be one of the few kids who could have survived the wait.
I wish they showed the results of the rest of 'em.

HA! I love it! I know about the study, but seeing it in real life is fabulous! :D Must steal!

Actually, keyne and I had the same reaction: wondering if the experiment takes into account the boredom factor. How long are those kids in that room with nothing else to DO but eat the marshmallow sitting in front of them? :-)

I'm not smart enough to decide if that represents a factor that actually affects the experiment, but it seems like something that should at least be acknowledged.
