It is said that 17 million BIC pens are bought round the world every DAY!

What sort of BIC pen do you use?

Crystal (medium)
Orange (fine)
Stick (American BIC)
Click (medium)
4 Colour (medium)

I use either Crystal or Orange.

    With biros I like the stick ones, preferably fine.

    I am very fussy about nibs - they need nurturing and perfecting to individual taste. A pen which lets you write just how you like it is a very special thing, I think. :o:)

    Orange - I've got tiny writing, so if a pen has a thick nib (oo-er) half the words are totally illegible. At my middle school we weren't allowed biros, only fountain pens (if anyone can give me a reason for this - other than snobbery - please do), and it was hell trying to make my writing large enough for the teachers to read.

    i use none cos for some reason i tend to eat them; and i hate the stage where your writing and a blob of saliva somes from the nib :D:D

    for general use, retractable gel pens 0.7mm in black all the way. for special moments quill and ink.

    Ladislao BIRO created the Biro, Marcel BICH (BIC) introduced their version, they are both ball point pens in the same way as Dyson and Hoover are both vacuum cleaners.

    I didnt realise the Bic orange ones were for smaller writing..I wondered why I didnt like them cos my writing is fairly large and flamboyant. :D
    I loved writing with fountain pens cos it felt smooooth and there was a craze for mental coloured inks circa 1988 (pink ink!)and youd see how far you could go with handing work in written in pink...Obv theyre a larger writing thing! People either had Parker ones or Sheaffer (sp?,my fave)any others?
