>Marshmallows represent different value for kids with different background. Or kids with different tastes. I liked candy and cookies as much as any other kid, I suppose, but I never much cared for marshmallows. For me to leave one sit there would not have required much strength of will. I wonder why they didn't ask each kid what their absolute favorite candy or sweet treat in the world was, and use that for the test instead.
