bic pens i was needing some basic ink pens the bic did the trick they are good ink pens if you need basic writeing pens theses pen,s will do it .
THESE GET THE JOB I BUY THEM FOR DONE. Indeed, as another reviewer has stated, these pens have been around for almost ever. There of course is a reason for this...actually several reasons. First they are quite inexpensive. Second, they actually write. Third they are available anywhere. Forth, they do no leak. They last quite a long time. And finally, they are not unpleasant to write with.
I substitute teach which means I can be in a 3rd grade class one day and in an advanced high school class the next...I never know. I carry a very large canvas pouch with me stuffed with stuff. I always carry at least two or three packs of these pens with me as invariably, sure as the sun rises, there will be at least one or two kids who forgot their pen or pencil (I always keep several packages of pencils too...but that is for another review). I have also noted that some classes and some students will actually try to take advantage of a substitute teacher and their third favorite request the instant the bell rings is "can I go to my locker...I forgot my pen." Ha...I have the little twerps! And I don't even have to be mean about it like I do with the endless bathroom and drink requests.
Anyway, these pens work great. They do not leak all over the place and smudge. If the student forgets to return the pen...which often happens, I am not out a lot of money and they are less likely to steal them as they do not really look all that cool nor do they have a lot of whistles and bells on them.
As an additional advantage, I do not mind writing short notes with them myself, and I am one of those people who are constantly misplacing pens all over the house and at my desk. I have found that even I have trouble loosing these things if I buy them a dozen at a time. Anyway, they write smoothly and get the job done.
Like another reviewer here, I am not all that happy about these not being manufactured in this country anymore and think it is a shame...but what are you going to do? I guess it is worth it if we can make the fat cats fatter. I will note that when the company changed the manufacturing location, to save money I presume, I certainly did not see the price of these things, cheap though they may be, going down any, for us, the consumer.
Be that as it may, I certainly can recommend these things. They do what they were meant to do.

Bic Pens The price of pens was significant reason for my purchase. I'm happy with the purchase.Great pen! I think we've all used these pens for thousands of years, or so it seems! This is usually one product on which you can count, to not leak all over the place and still write nicely, and for a long time. However, I noticed that they're now made in Mexico. Why on earth? Bic, you need to come back home to make these. Other than that, highly recommend!
