Here are America’s Top 10 Most Mustache-Friendly Cities . . . Really

Filed under: Alex Scott — ascott @ 9:08 pm

 There is such a thing as the American Mustache Institute.  We know that now because they just published the results of a TWO-YEAR STUDY . . . to determine which U.S. cities are the most MUSTACHE FRIENDLY.

 And while the study is clearly tongue-in-cheek . . . it could be really useful info if you’re thinking of relocating AND growing a killer handlebar mustache.

 The study bases a city’s mustache friendliness on things like the number of restaurants serving Miller Lite on tap, and the number of monster trucks, motorcycles, and ATVs per capita.  Here are the top 10:

 

#1.)  Chicago

#2.)  Houston

#3.)  Pittsburgh

#4.)  Oklahoma City

#5.)  Detroit

#6.)  Milwaukee

#7.)  Cleveland

#8.)  New York

#9.)  Huntsville, Alabama

#10.)  Tampa-St. Petersburg

Of the 100 cities included in the study, Los Angeles came in dead last as the least mustache-friendly city.
