Phoenix, Arizona top Americas Sweatiest Cities list
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.

ABC gum? Man, you got to try some of that new 5 gum **** on your sidewalk eggs. Especially "Cobalt". Anything that exotic sounding that you stick in your mouth must be great.

yep it's true you can cook an egg, i've seen it with my own eyes, i've been to Arizona in the past, it's really HOT! & I complain that Florida is hot, Arirona is worse, it's hot all year around over 100 degrees, I'm glad I don't live in Arizona I have really pale skin, if I ever lived there, I would probably be baked lol

Where I live, Monterrey, we would be at 1-3.
I read people from London were dying because the temperature was 25 C.  They'd die if they come
near any of the hottest cities.

San Francisco is the worst? 
IDK why but I always thought that it's a quite "open" city so there must be good people living there
EDIT: and then again I'm the stupidest moron here - I misread the title: I thought it was SWEATEST
