Why do people keep saying that it's cornflakes? That's almond slices! Almond slices can be found in some cereal/granola, but it's definitely a decently fancy baking ingredient. Give them a point for that
Dang, you're right- they get a +1 in decor, but I still stand by most of what I said. I mean raspberries? Not even sliced or puréed? though to be fair I'm allergic to coconut (and I found out the hard way lol, had a bad reaction) so maybe I'm just scarred and being unfair. This was a nice family effort and I respect it, so I think it's time to end the discourse over this confectionary-course!

It just blows my mind that people can just run into Dan and/or Phil in the streets of London. Like, they will always be guys on a screen for me (my country isn't even listed in the II tour and there's no way they're coming) [...] and it just... blows my mind? [...] How can you live close to so many celebrities (and youtubers) and be like cool? This sounds so creepy I know I just can't relate because my country is so small, I'm only used to see these people on a stage or a screen.
Preach, the biggest celebrity I've ever run into was the local meteorologist (better believe I got a selfie though, the man is never wrong
) I think it's nice that there's not a constant barrage of fan selfies on the streets with deppy tho- not that it's bad to get a pic with them, but I think it means for the most part they can go about their lives and not get recognized or bothered too much. I'm kinda a private person so even if I loved my fans I'd get a little weary of taking pics and stuff every time I went out- I'm glad the boys still have some anonymity left, the many retweets where people don't even know who Dan is also proves that they have an active fan base and not be noticed as "celebrity" all the time.
For most mainstream, Hollywood-esque celebrities, even if you're not a fan you can still recognize them because of they appear in commercials, movies, posters, talk shows, etc. It's interesting how that doesn't really apply to internet stars yet, and I'm curious to see if as the internet grows more mainstream deppy will get recognized more and more- so I'm just kinda passively noting selfies with DnP to see if they get more frequent as time progresses, or if they get mentioned/recognized more by people who aren't fans. I was reading Reddit the other day and they were mentioned in a completely unrelated subreddit and post in passing by someone who said they weren't a fan. I've seen references to the phandom (which are never glowing but whatever) on Reddit before but they're rare and usually by people who are currently in it or used to be in it.
take that as you will
