Once Reliable, Now Just Cheap Trash

Once Reliable, Now Just Cheap Trash
I've been using BIC Round Stic pens for years — they used to be my go-to for everything. Reliable, smooth, and lasted forever. But recently, the quality has absolutely tanked. The new "eco-friendly" version feels like it's made from recycled cereal boxes. The plastic is flimsy, the ink skips constantly, and the pen feels like it's going to snap in your hand with any pressure.
I’m all for sustainability, but this isn’t innovation — it’s cost-cutting disguised as going green. You can’t slap a "recycled" label on something and expect people not to notice the drop in quality. Whatever BIC did to these pens, they ruined a classic. Bring back the old version or I’m switching brands for good.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best Pen on the Planet!
on December 8, 2024
Posted by: robersha65
Please don’t ever discontinue this pen! This is my all time favorite pen in the world. I can’t seem to find them at stores anymore. The fittment is super comfortable for writing, the pen releases the perfect amount of ink that allows you to make thin, pencil-like lines or dark, defined lines. The color is super satisfying to the eye! And on top of all that, they last forever. THANK YOU BIC! If I can manage to use these pens for the rest of my life… I will!

Great pen, good writing!

I had these for years now and every time I write with them they have always worked for me. Even in school, it's nice to use a reliable ballpoint that if it gets stolen I can just pull out another one. These pens made me want to collect more and more of them.

Reliable Bic Always

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great reliable ballpoints when you need function, but don't need a show-off fancy and expensive pen. Also great because since the price is so low, when one gets lost or used-up, just pull another out of the box. Recommended

As expected

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are pretty much what you’d expect. They write smoothly and they’re a great price but they’re just your basic pen, no bells and whistles, something that you wouldn’t be overly upset about if you lost.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] BIC has always been a great brand if pens. Not overly pricey and good quality. So far, I've one 1 pen for going on a month. I haven't ran out of ink nor has the pen dried up. Ink is easily seen and writes nicely.
I would recommend this to a friend!
