Delayed gratification ritual with a twist from @danielcoffeen3

A muscular man demonstrates the concept of delayed gratification by placing a Monster Energy drink in a jar of ice, forcing himself to work and wait before his 'reward.' He then subverts expectations by pouring the drink into the ice water and chugging the entire mixture, finishing with a bicep flex to emphasize discipline.
