Old Spice today released its Fifth Annual Top-100 Sweatiest Cities List, with Austin coming in seventh place. Overall, Texas has the dubious distinction as being the sweatiest state in the country, with six cities -- Dallas, Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Austin, Houston and Waco -- all among the Top 10.
The rankings are based on the amount of sweat a person of "average height and weight" would produce from walking around for an hour in the average high temperatures during June, July and August of last year in each city. Desert city Phoenix took top "honors" for the third time in four years -- according to Old Spice's fake scientific calculations, the average Phoenix schmoe produces 26 ounces of sweat per hour during a typical summer's day. Or, put more disgustingly, "In less than three hours, residents of Phoenix collectively produce enough sweat to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool!"
The full list appears after the jump.

Austin higher than Houston? That's not right. The humidity is generally higher in Houston, leading one to sweat more. Eww.
In related news, Trane air-conditioning has released their list of coolest cities (cities with the most heavily air-conditioned residents). Topping the list? All the same cities in the Old Spice List.
The residents of Phoenix would fill an olympic size swimming pool with their sweat, if and only if they stepped outside their air conditioning. That's a big if.
