Grab a Towel

CINCINNATI - Heavy perspirers, take note.

It may be "dry heat" out there, but Phoenix leads a list of America's sweatiest cities, according to an annual ranking from deodorant maker Old Spice.

The desert city's average high temperature was 95.1 degrees in June, July and August 2007, the company said. As a result, the average Phoenix resident pumped out 26.4 ounces of sweat per hour. That's the equivalent of more than two cans of soda. Las Vegas is America's second-drippiest city, followed by Tallahassee, Fla. San Francisco, with an average summer temperature of just 63.5 degrees, is the nation's least sweaty city, coming in at No. 100 on the list. The company says its findings are based on computer simulations of the amount of sweat an average person would have produced walking around in cities during the summer months last year.

So I don't know about you, but I've been feeling a little sweaty lately. More than two cans of soda in an hour!? Gross!! Dallas comes in at a mere #18. Seriously!? A dry 95 degrees is nothing! And now it's July...

You can see how other cities ranked here

I don't believe that computer. I'd like to see them come and spend the summer here and then see where they rank Texas!

Maybe Texans just don't like Old Spice...
