Sweatiest Cities
 
LOL, from time to time I read the "weird news" section on Yahoo and I just read this article and LMAO because this weekend my aunt had me working harder than a Hebrew slave to pack for my move. I checked the weather for this week and all I saw was a 9 followed by another number. I am going to the store to get Deodorant & Water so I won't be P. U. :p

Report Names 'Sweatiest' U.S. City
Fri Jun 21,10:20 AM ET

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Every year there's a new one: Most livable U.S. city, friendliest city, town with the best manners. Now comes the first annual sweatiest city award.

Top honors go to San Antonio, Texas.

On a typical summer day, San Antonio residents lose more than 1 liter of perspiration per hour during exercise such as walking, the announcement said. :eek:

Dallas-Ft. Worth, New Orleans, Houston and West Palm Beach, Florida, fleshed out the top five sweatiest cities.

The list was released on Thursday by Procter & Gamble's Old Spice Red Zone deodorant, apparently in a sweat to produce some first-day-of-summer publicity.

It was based, the announcement said, on the average high temperature and humidity during June, July and August in the 50 cities reviewed. Based on this the company estimated the sweat produced by walking one hour each day.

"Although some view sweat as embarrassing, it is necessary to keep the body cool," said Mark Davis, described as a perspiration expert for Old Spice, which said it is sending the mayor of San Antonio a case of its Red Zone.

The five least sweaty cities were in order: Barrow, Alaska, San Francisco, Seattle, San Diego and Los Angeles.:cool:

The list is interesting. I'm surprised that Los Angeles is behind
Barrow, Alaska for that time of year.

It's gettin' hot in hurrrrrrrrrrrrrr
 
I can definitely concur on the sweatiness of Houston. This city is crazy humid! I am actually surprised that San Antonio is sweatier than us as they are more West/Central TX and further away from the water so it is generally as hot, but less humid. Maybe they walk more so they sweat more, but B/C I know that Houstons walk NOwhere!
