BIC is a corporation based in France best known for making ballpoint pens. It was founded in 1945 by Baron Marcel Bich and has become known for making disposable consumer products such as lighters, razors, mechanical pencils, and printed paper products.
The Bic Cristal is an inexpensive disposable ballpoint pen mass-produced and sold by BIC. It was first launched in December 1950 and is by far the best selling pen in the world - the 100 billionth was sold in September 2006. It has become the archetypal ballpoint pen.

between pens and lighters bic must be the most stolen product in the world
So if an insurance broker's pen didn't break and spill ink while signing an important contract, we wouldn't have pens?
For once, my username is moderately relevant
Bic lighters are cheap and awesome tbh.
Lmao “how English speakers were pronouncing his last name”
bic brand is associated with cheap but practical products. thats why phones and clothes arent going to work. those are luxury items.
Getting fired over spilling some ink on the paper, damn.
Bic makes nearly anything nowadays. Soon there'll be an iBic phone 😂😂😂
Very sad to say that BIC pen is not available in the local market of India but we need it very much ...😭😭😭😭😭
So that’s why I call a ball point pen a biro.
You gotta give it to Marcel Bich...both the Bic Crystal and the Bic Lighter are classics of industrial design. Timeless, even.
Instead of going to bed early for my first day of school tomorrow. I watched a 10 minute video on the history of the pen
For those that need to know. In the 60's BIC pens had metal parts that surrounds the ball instead of the plastic today. As a kid I found you could hammer a BIC pen into a real plaster wall, and it would still work. No doubt one of the most important experiments of the 1960s
Countless kids have gone though school with the help of BiC pens. They are durable and cheap. Great product !
no matter how successful ballpoint pens are, the writing experience of fountain pens is just so nice
The Bic pen has a great design. Truly, a modern icon. If I'm not mistaken, it's even on display at MOMA in New York.
BiC is literally the only company that still makes high quality pens that don't jam
Here in Cambodia (once a French colony), we refer pen as just "bic". We don't even have other word for pen lol Just know it came from this brand
Marcell Bich was truly a visionary much like Henry Ford. He put the necessary items in the hands of the working class for a fair price. I love what the Bic company stands for.
