So there’s this experiment where researchers take a bunch of preschoolers and give them a marshmallow and they say, “ok, you can eat this now, or you can wait thirty minutes and then we’ll give you two marshmallows.”
And they leave them alone with hidden cameras and watch the struggle of willpower and it’s supposed to say something about delayed gratification.
And this thing gets used to explain why some people are better with money than others, or make various other better life choices. The Aesop here is if you can delay your satisfaction, you’ll get ahead.
But here’s a proposed version of that experiment that’s more realistic.
Give the kid the marshmallow and explain it all as above. Then come back 30 minutes later and say, “Sorry, actually we ran out of marshmallows, so even though you didn’t eat yours, you’re not getting a second one. Other kids got two, but you don’t. Also, every kid with fewer than two marshmallows has to give back their original marshmallow. Sorry we didn’t tell you that earlier now hand it over.”
Then call them back for a repeat experiment where you give them the same offer. See how many kids scarf that marshmallow down in two seconds flat because like hell they’ll trust you again.
To celebrate the trailer, have this stupid meme

I desperately need for "Cheers" to be the episode where Simon comes back to Ooo and finds the place a wreck because Marcy went to visit Simon at work and found a dead? Choose Goose, an altar to GOLB, and no Simon. She panics.
In true supportive GF fashion, Bubblegum activates DefCon 4. Everyone is interrogated - from the dog visitor to Dirt Beer Guy to Astrid who explains that Fionna and Cake was here. Fucking wizards are brought in because if GOLB is involved then shit could get real bad. King Man is there. Marcy makes a collect call to Hunson in case he knows how to get to GOLB.
Literally all hands on deck. Bubblegum is already lowkey preparing for an apocalypse and/or setting up funeral arrangements because if Simon went to GOLB, there's a good chance that he's not coming back. And if he does come back, there's a good chance that GOLB is with him. Neither are good endings.
Marcy is inconsolable. King Man has yet to leave, possibly eating popcorn. Finn feels guilty because he was so sure that Simon was okay. In a fit of panic, Marcy blames Finn for not telling her about this earlier. Huntress is de-escalating that situation.
And Simon... walks into the Candy Castle with a T-Shirt that says "I saw GOLB and LIVED" or some other tacky slogan. And it's the Community Pizza scene
How iconic and beautiful! Both of my favorite musicals meshing together with their most emotional ballads was so heartwarming to watch! Also, it’s great that they’re coming together in order to support a real movement that is happening now within our history!
