CINCINNATI, June 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In anticipation of the first day of summer on Thursday, June 21 -- and the hot weather that comes with the season -- Old Spice today announced its Sixth Annual Top-100 Sweatiest Cities List. For the fourth time in six years, Phoenix burned up the charts to take the No. 1 spot in this annual ranking of the nation's heaviest sweaters. To earn the top spot, Phoenix's average high temperature was 94.6 degrees in June, July and August 2006, resulting in the average Phoenix resident producing 26.3 ounces of sweat per hour. That means on a typical summer day, residents of Phoenix collectively produced enough sweat to fill more than 53,000 beer kegs in just one hour. In recognition of its top ranking on the list, Old Spice -- the No.1 selling antiperspirant/deodorant stick and body wash brand with guys of all ages -- will deliver a year's supply of Old Spice Red Zone antiperspirant to Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon. Phoenix also took this top honor in 2006, 2005 and 2003, living up to its nickname "Valley of the Sun." Other Study Highlights
-- Texas continues to dominate the list, producing half of the Top 10 cities: Dallas (No. 3), San Antonio (No. 5), Waco (No. 6), Austin (No. 8) and Corpus Christi (No. 10).
-- Last summer's record temperatures helped Oklahoma City crack the Top 10 for the first time, coming in at No. 9 - a significant jump from No. 31 in 2006.

That’s kind of a challenge - I’d like to retire somewhere that’s warm year-round but you don’t sweat.
B. O. Plenty ping!
I thought Phoenix had a “dry” heat?
And you can't fill those kegs until you empty them first.
