The paywalled cartoonist gaslights everyone about the Stanford Marshmallow Experiment. The claim is there was one 'free' marshmallow and taking it didn't result in any punishment.

Quote:
Stanford marshmallow experiment
The Stanford marshmallow experiment was a study on delayed gratification in 1970 led by psychologist Walter Mischel, a professor at Stanford University. In this study, a child was offered a choice between one small but immediate reward, or two small rewards if they waited for a period of time. Wikipedia
Good thing he doesn't experience embarrassment.
