Cooling underwear guide: $25 briefs, one degree cooler

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA shopping guide says your apartment will turn into a sauna this winter, and the answer is twenty-five-dollar underwear, E! News reports.

2. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorLovely. The article opens by predicting the sauna, and then the very same article sells the fix. Never happened before.

3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's the Thigh Society WhispAir line. Bikini, thong and brief, and the brief is the twenty-five-dollar one.

4. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe bikini has a no-roll waistband and an anti-wedgie design. That's two promises, and I'd like to see the fine print on both.

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYou're reading the fine print on underwear.

6. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSomebody has to. The article says it can lower your body temperature by one degree. One degree.

7. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorOf what, for how long, and compared to what?

8. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo the whole piece is a heater on one side and a single degree on the other. And the brand is the one telling us.

9. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorOur in-house Drama Index gives this one a six out of ten, which is generous for a piece about underwear that is also trying to sell you underwear.

10. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorI'd say nine, and I'll explain. One degree cooler, and the loudest thing in the building is still the radiator.
