Over the course of history, men with facial hair received credit with attributes including wisdom, sexual virility, masculinity, and technical proficiency in all things. The modern moustache is still resilient. Just when it seemed that we would hung it in the dusty mop cupboard of history, a cultural revolution swung the pendulum back, ushering in a new day for moustaches.

Here are  facts about the moustache you probably didn’t know:

2. The world’s longest moustache is a 14ft monster belonging to Ram Singh Chauhan of Rajastan, India, who regularly massages it with mustard and coconut oil to keep it healthy.

3. In 1967, The Beatles gave away cardboard moustaches with their album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
