BIC Ball Point Pen

How This Pen Changed The World

The narration is a little too, I dunno, polished? Sounds like a salesman trying to sell me something. Call it slightly annoying, but the story is pretty good, especially the bit about literacy rates. Did BIC cause their dramatic rise? No, but they certainly helped.

Never liked BIC pens that much. They never wanted to write first time, every time, like they showed in the commercials. Or maybe it was the annoying cap that didn't really clip onto anything and was forever falling off and getting lost. Can't argue with success though.
