With an unusual Thanksgiving coming up this week, the folks at Estately have released their annual “Thanksgiving Misery Index.” A study to find out which state is most and least likely to have a good holiday.
They ranked several categories including food poisoning, binge drinking, shopping enthusiasm, contentious politics and more to discover that overall Wyoming is pretty satisfied when it comes to Thanksgiving.
We rank 42nd in Thanksgiving Misery (the higher the number, the better.)
The only states happier than us are Idaho, Connecticut, Oklahoma, New Jersey, Utah, Arkansas, New Mexico, and the happiest… Hawaii.
Ohio, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Arizona and Wisconsin rank the highest in misery.
Here’s how Wyoming broke down by category;
Salmonella Cases Per Capita From Poultry – 16th
Binge Drinking – 32nd
Contentious Politics – 48th
Dietary Restrictions – 48th
NFL team(s) losing percentage on Thanksgiving – 7th
Enthusiasm for Black Friday sales – 37th
