The results are in, and Peter Mayer showed a marked improvement during Mardi Gras this year. The average Peter Mayer employee gained just 1.9 pounds during Mardi Gras 2010, compared to 2.7 pounds last year. Employees consumed just 1.8 aspirin tablets each morning during Mardi Gras 2010, a decrease of 43% from the 2009 average. The agency as a whole consumed 173 King Cakes, or 1.24 King Cakes per person, over the course of the 2010 Carnival season, a vast improvement from the previous year’s average of 1.89.

As King Cake consumption dropped, so too did hours of sleep. Employees averaged just 5.2 hours per night during Carnival this year, down 6.4 hours per night from the previous year – an outlier analysts attribute to excitement surrounding the New Orleans Saints’ historic Super Bowl run, which overlapped Carnival season. Peter Mayer looks forward to continuing the positive trend during next year’s Carnival festivities.
