Ahem. "Shouldn't" and "doesn't" are two veeeeeeeery different things when it comes to Phil and dairy. (Except cheese, cos that's yukky. ;) )

I've been close friends with someone for 15 years and I think if I were living with her I wouldn't be comfortable with drinking straight out of the milk carton. Hell, I don't even do that in my house I only share with my family. Maybe it's just the kind of person I am, but the only situation I can imagine doing that in is if I were living with my boyfriend
Eh it depends on the person. I have no problem sharing drinks or food with friends even if they aren't particularly close

Agree. And I'm also thinking that if his mouth was burning, his concern would be stopping that feeling rather than Phil's drinking-out-of-the-bottle-opinions.

It is painful to admit but I am also one of those people who drink milk straight from the carton

Bit late to the party to talk about the prank video but anyway, the bit behind the red chair looks more like a pillow than a duvet in my opinion. I just don't know how to connect this fact with the moving theory. What is it doing there??

Also, Martyn and Cornelia is in Amsterdam

I half wondered if D&P might make a surprise appearance at VidCon, even though they aren't officially there. It's just a quick hop from London, they could be there and back in no time! Of course this is assuming they haven't already gone on holiday to HK or wherever.

Why is it drinking out of the bottle such a big deal? i'm pretty sure they shared a drink in a vlog once.

Because as always, people apply their own standards of normal to Deppy. Some people have different level of comfort with their bff than others, and based on this they see actions either as very coupley or normal for friends. (That's why such circumstantial "evidence" cant be trusted - not saying the milk carton thing is treated as evidence here, just in general).

For example, before I joined I had no idea it was considered couple-y to take your bff on vacation to your parents' with you

That gummy bears video was the cutest thing ever. I don't know how many times I rewatched it already

The best part IMO is the the incredibly fond smile Dan gives Phil after he drinks the milk. I don't know if I'd look at somebody like that if they just pranked me. Definitely gif-worthy.

Although I'm pretty convinced by the moving theory, I don't really understand the reason why the process of packing would include hauling their bedding upstairs to the office. (unless their beds already got taken away and they have to share the couch... I have to say I used to have the same couch and it's pretty ok for two people)

Not much to add other than Cravendale is milk of the gods and I would get it every time if I could afford it

I also drink milk straight out of the carton and always have done. Bring me the milk mother

Possible pillow theories - Phil likes to take his pillow everywhere to feel more comfortable sleeping in a different bed, so maybe their beds have already been dismantled and they're sleeping on the sofa bed in the office. Or Phil naps while he's editing. Or they built a massive blanket fort. Or it's just spare bedding they keep there for guests.

Phil's bed frame belongs to the landlord so they wouldn't be moving or dismantling it even if they are moving out. I think the bedding behind the couch is likely just their spare bedding and that's where they store it.

(I'm still fairly convinced they're moving I just don't think the bedding is a clue.)

well i guess he would sometimes, since he can drink a glass a day, so that completely negates the point of my post. oh well
Or they buy some individual groceries according to their tastes, intolerances, etc...

Didn't they share a straw in Cat's vlog when Dan tries Phil's lemonade? Pretty sure it's not something they're worried about as well lol.

I also found Dan's live show really suspicious. There were so many hints about moving lately that I can't get rid of all these moving thoughts.
Also, in that prank video Phil was standing IN the kitchen while filming Dan. Wouldn't it have been easier to film him while standing in the hallway since Dan rushed out of the office before Phil? I can only imagine that he did that because they wanted to hide the kitchen. Either it was messy and unclean or it was too empty because they already have packed all the kitchen stuff.
That's the plan.

Sometimes there are videos that inch me slightly out of my firm phanskepticism stance.

This is one.

That was an enjoyable episode. I love it when Phil gets all mischievous.

Also liked that they addressed the shipping of Dab and Evan.

I felt they were, if possible, way more flirtatious than usual. I felt like a third wheel. The tension was palpable. I loved it.

this is it. i don't need anything else ever. i don't need air. i don't need food. i don't need sleep.
this was all i needed.

Also did anyone else notice after they figured out Dab was going to the bathroom alone Dan said "You'll be a good husband for..." and then got cut off? I assume he was going to say Evan. Honestly I think it's so funny how Dan is like NO about Dab and Evan but Phil was shouting "OTP" at the end.

edit: also I noticed that Phil referred to Dab as "our child" at 4:19. And that shouldn't make me so happy but i mean :gg:

i don't want to be negative but this is so played out, how many times has Dan did that pose? i'd rather watch the mark of oxin again where they both seemed more genuine, especially Phil, than this calculated eye contact shit.
