An experiment first conducted in the 1960s has been re-staged to test the patience of young 'uns today. The video on Vimeo has been picked up by The Metro which says it's the "most adorable video based on a classic pyschology experiment you'll see today."
Watch it and see if you agree. The kids are given a tricky choice; eat one marshmallow now, or wait 20 minutes and eat two. Can they wait it out? Can they resist the fluffy goodness? Well according to the original experiment the kids who resisted temptation turned into more dependable adults.
So the patient, but ultimately GREEDY tykes turn into better human beings. Interesting.
