A hole was added to the cap in 1991.
Wait, the hole in the cap is that recent?
Dude… That’s 34 years ago.
Yeah, I know I’m approaching fossil age, but the pen itself was first made 75 years ago. I had always assumed that the hole in the cap was a change made much closer to the 50s than sometime within my lifetime.
How dare you. I wont be 34 for 7 more months…
It would had cost you zero dollars to not murder Godort
And I would do it again, not just for the money, but for the glee :D
According to the Wikipedia article.
honestly, kinda refreshing to see a business not changing their shit constantly just to change shit. it’s not the nicest pen, but it works.
Why fix what’s cheap and barely does its job?
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
They do lighters too
And razors…
Very bad razors. They Never fail to leave cuts and bruises
They did perfum once. Big fail…
And boats
Really?

Ah, the extremely shitty pen that scratches so bad you might as well carve your message into the paper. Lasts maybe 3 lines before it starts skipping but who cares. It exists to be as cheap as possible so your customer you don’t respect can pocket it after initialing twice and signing something.
I hate bad cheap pens so much. I never would have gotten into fountain pens if there wasn’t the counter example of how bad a writing experience can get.
I think actual Bic-from-the-Bic-Company biros tend to be pretty good (especially the orange ones with black lids).
For a truly scratchy experience, you need a cheap, unbranded biro.
(Looks at the anatomically modern human) Bruh this shits been the same for the past 300,000 years. When we updating this bitch? New colorways, maybe?
there have been plenty of patches, but it takes serious selection pressures to make major changes happen quickly
i can spare a couple hundred kPa, what’ll that get me
nothing
fine I didn’t want you’re silly major changes anyway, good day to you
exactly! disobey evolution and mod yourself ;3
i said “good day!”
the bends
They’ve made more than 10 of these per human on the planet.

In this economy?
At least take a potty break, ffs!
This pen was decades ahead of its time. Made as cheaply as possible, just functional enough, disposable, and replaceable is the new standard for US commodities.
Don’t you dare touch it!
2050: … starts manufacturing military cyborg soldiers with a Bic logo across their chest
I still remember putting a spring inside and shooting something out of them at my minis. they are soo old and bring many memories. Mostly how easily they broke. This thing always somehow ended up disassembled on my desk much faster than all the others. It was disappointingly simple though. I liked to take apart these with elaborate click mechanisms
I recommend Design Theory’s video on quintessence if you’re in the mood for some infotainment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEg5u1kyNEs
