Some of us grew up without being told that someone loves us – and that itself is rather tragic, where the lack of love during one’s formative years has since been proven to be one of the mitigating factors when it comes to awkward social development.

A video that was created in order to promote Panasonic’s premium range of appliances, such as air conditioners, also demonstrated the message that heartwarming words will result in a rise in body temperature.
Yup, you read that right – if someone tells you that he or she loves you, the thermographic camera captured an increase of 0.8 degrees Celsius on average on the receiving party of those cherished words.
