The French always were a frail bunch.

A 15 degree difference in temperatures causes shock? Yet when it’s 30 degrees outside in winter, they certainly heat their homes to 60 degrees or more. Make it make sense

Don't try to make it make sense. They are just silly people.

Truly amazing. The French have traveled the world, yes? Does the French president die of thermal shock every few months? What on earth?

Yet another reason why America is exceptional.
In DR when I was growing up they always told us if you opened the fridge right after coming from outside you might get spasm.

In Florida, people jump from the hot tub to the cold pool and back all day. That may explain the origin of 'Florida Man'.
Reminds me of how S. Koreans believe in something called “fan death,” which is a theory that if you use a fan all night to keep you cool, you’ll die. The rumor was apparently started by the govt in the 80s during an energy crisis, so all Korean fans’ default “on” position has a 2…

They'll do anything to keep their people hot and miserable.
I've heard of that in Hong Kong where you go from a huge shopping mall AC'd to 65F to outdoors where it's 110 (or vice-versa), but never from a 15 degree difference

That's a normal day in Florida. Heh.
Same with the Italians. They also think it causes respiratory infections. A couple packs of cigs per day is fine though.

What if you smoke cigarettes while inside in the AC? It must be certain death.
This ranks right up there with "Tomatoes are poisonous"

I hope that someday our French friends claw their way to the modern era.
There are many cultural differences betw France and USA. Quite a few of them revolve around fact that France has always had very expensive electricity. So they unplug appliances not in use, have meetings with the lights off, believe that reading in bright light hurts your eyes.

Whereas Americans believe we must have the perfect bright light or we strain our eyes.
Wow, the French are dumb.

Lack of AC causes 5x more deaths in Europe than guns kill Americans.

But they might die of thermal shock.
Maybe the French wouldn't be so rude if they weren't so hot all the time.
That’s it. I’m turning up my AC to thermal shock today. pic.twitter.com/4ydhOozxdT

Sounds like the Germans could have taken over France with a strong enough fan then and saved all of the military hardware.

LOL. I wonder how they explain the health hazards of deodorant and shaved arm pits.

It would be great if they could learn that before they visit America in the summer.
