A Louisiana cooling ritual? Local viewers aren't so sure

The lucyfforbes upload has passed ten million views, but several commenters from Louisiana say the practice is unfamiliar to them.

This Old Louisiana Ritual Makes No Sense To Most People 😮

Water, a towel and a bubbling effect have given viewers something to puzzle over beneath "This Old Louisiana Ritual Makes No Sense To Most People 😮." The surprise is how many people identifying themselves as Louisiana residents say they've never encountered it.

Posted in August, the lucyfforbes video is drawing fresh attention nearly two months later. It added about 40,000 views in a day, roughly thirteen times its usual daily gain, and crossed ten million views.

The replies offer competing explanations for the cooling method. Some viewers focus on water soaking into the towel or air escaping from it; another makes the simpler observation that putting water on your head makes you colder. Those are viewers' explanations, not confirmation of the video's regional claim.

The channel's newer curiosities include a tricky staircase and ice cream that barely melts. Here, though, the question isn't just how the trick works. It's why a video calls it a Louisiana tradition when several people from the state don't recognize it.
