Bic.

Sure, you can take it for granted. It will always be around. I'm just asking you to take a moment. Take this specific fact, and impress it in your mind.

The Bic Cristal pen is amazing.

The Bic Cristal, was designed by the Décolletage Plastique Design Team and is an inexpensive, mass-produced ballpoint pen. It is made from polystyrene (transparent barrel), polypropylene (cap), tungsten carbide (ball) and brass/nickel silver (tip) and comes in four colors: blue, black, red and green. The pen's lid has for the past few decades had a small hole in it to prevent choking if accidentally swallowed. Its ease of use, reliability and in many ways its ubiquity have all helped it achieve its classic status. The Bic Cristal pen forms part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

They make a lot of useful things. Pens, Razors, lighters. Everyone has used those lighters. Weather you smoke or not.
