My difficulty with this study is the fact that it's a marshmallow.
If it were a hundred dollars, and I could wait and get two hundred, I'd wait.
If it were a cow, I probably wouldn't care whether I had one cow or two cows.
If it were coleslaw, I'd probably eat the first just because I love coleslaw.
If it was a marshmallow, I'd eat it - because they're so tasteless that I wouldn't give a shit if I got one or two. Marshmallows kinda suck...
Its becuase of this that I don't really see it being particularly useful.
On the other hand, I'm horrible at delaying gratification.
