One of the most enduring memes from Inauguration Day continues to revolve around Bernie Sanders' mittens. A photo of Sanders seated at the ceremony wearing mittens made by a Vermont teacher has taken on a life of its own. BuzzFeed, Mashable, Apollo magazine, and the Burlington Free Press, were among those picking their favorites:

Bernie on a famous scaffold.
Bernie in a work of art.
Bernie with Forrest Gump.
Bernie on a roller coaster.
Interpreting Bernie's thoughts.
Bernie at the Last Supper.
More interpretation of Bernie's thoughts.
Bernie visiting a business in Vermont. And another. (This theme became popular in his home state.)
Bernie as a grumpy Muppet.
And, for real, orders are now being taken for a Bernie bobblehead with mittens.
