The recent dip in temperatures across Florida has left many Miami residents uneasy, as they're not accustomed to such chilly weather. With his signature humor, Cuban influencer Kristoff Kriollo took to Instagram to showcase the comical effects that this unusually cold climate has on locals.
According to Kriollo, the first noticeable change is a drastic shift in fashion choices. Against the backdrop of the theme song from the cartoon Voltus V, viewers see his T-shirt magically transform into a knee-length thermal coat complete with a hood, high boots, and even a hat.
However, Kriollo humorously points out that the most alarming aspect isn't the over-the-top wardrobe changes, but rather the neglect of personal hygiene. "Take a shower, I can smell you from here," he quipped alongside his entertaining video on Instagram, where part of his skit shows him tossing deodorant bottles into the trash—apparently the go-to solution for some to avoid bathing during these frigid days.
His followers chimed in with laughter-filled comments such as, "You usually don't shower... don't exaggerate," "I'm staying bundled up until summer," "Today isn't a shower day for me either," "I doubt he bought that outfit just for this video; he probably sleeps in it," "I'm not sure if what I saw is right or wrong, but I like it," "What a uniform you put together, boots and all," and "Give Mama Kriollo her coat back."
Beyond the humor of the influencer, the truth is that the cold temperatures in Miami and snow in several parts of Florida have been unprecedented.
