They recounted a mishap at Splendour 2017 when they forgot their sauce, but a fellow festival-goer saved the day. Their do's include eating before drinking, leaving a trail of crumbs to find mates, ensuring phone battery for Uber Eats orders, offering a bite of a sanga to a potential partner, and eating crusts.
