How long did they have to wait?
A much more interesting experiment with kids was using a doll and seeing if the kid could differentiate what he knew from what the doll knew.

#2, at least #(removed comment) provided something useful. I also suspect that you saw red, and that's what I give you.

I actually liked the vid...These kids treat the marshmellow as addicts treat coke.

Loved their expressions

Torturing kids, I love it... Perhaps the marshmallow could have been electrified? Or perhaps they could have used an apple but not fed the kids for a whole day beforehand? Or... damn, there are so many possibilities!

I was waiting for one of the twins to eat the others marshmallow so that way he would end up with 3 of them, most likely ending in some fisticuffs. :D
