Disputable Claim

I would argue about pens being Bic's best known product, they're very well known for lighters as well, at least equally so. (71.192.34.220 (talk) 21:45, 17 November 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Moved content from BIC Corp. page

I have cut and pasted the content that was on BIC Corp. to here with a couple of minor changes i.e. replacing instances of Bic Corp in the text with Société Bic.--Trounce 11:11, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bic Pen = Bic Cristal

The Bic pen, more correctly titled the Bic Cristal, is possibly the company's best known product.

When I think "Bic Pen," I think of the round, white-barrelled Bic White Stic pens, which this OfficeMax page calls "BIC's best-selling pen." I'm sure they outsell Cristals in the U.S., but possibly not in the rest of the world.

My question is whether saying "Bic pen" is "more correctly titled Bic Cristal" is necessarily accurate. Any thoughts? Gaagaagiw 22:38, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bic Orange

What about the Bic Orange with a finer point? Isn't it sold anymore? --84.20.17.84 (talk) 10:29, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

BBB's Blog

I found this story, while surfing for spiritual items.

Look for "webmaster's Blog: My Bic Blue Ballpoint Pen".

It's different!

List of products

Is it really that imformative to have such a long list of bic products? Surely a few examples would surfice. Lucas42 03:34, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, but, not being an expert in the field of pens, I'll let someone who knows what they're doing make the edit. I'm not here to start an edit war. 66.31.225.37 18:58, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tagged as unencyclopedic, see what other editors will do with the lists first. Hydrogen Iodide 05:06, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

bic lighters deserve a page

Bic lighters are consistent enough to describe, and are popular enough to be worth describing. According bic's press pdf, they are tested for 'safe' burn times of 2 minutes, although the sticker on the side only recommends 30 secs max. There is an equation to determine what percentage of the lighter's fuel remains by weight, and there are tricks, such as rolling the flint wheel backwards to improve flint, that should be known. I want to know what is the maximum wind an unaided bic can light in. However, wikipedia is a catalog of only 'some' physical properties, not all, per subjective lines in the sand and deleted content. =(
