Sorry for the blurry pic. I snapped it just as my two year old was yanking me toward the escalator.

The unreadable caption says "Great gifts start here."

The handlebar mustache has been in vogue for a while now, usually associated with "bohemian manliness" but occasionally used in connection with saving money. In fact, the last time I was in Target they were selling a piggy bank with a mustache that was emblazoned with the phrase "Stache My Cash." Pretty cool! I almost bought it, but then my badassity kicked in and I resisted since I didn't actually need it.

Indeed, multiple years.  MMM, starting in 2011, caught the beginning of the wave, but it was at least a year or two before that that it started getting big. 

It just gotten huge in 2013, I see Mustache things all over the place.

For example, I own a bunch of chip clips for potato chip bags in the shape of mustaches because that was all the dollar store had.
