BIC Cristal Original Ballpoint Pen

The BIC Cristal – probably the best-known ballpoint in the world. It’s inexpensive, it’s reliable, it writes really smoothly and it’s safe to say there can’t be many households without at least one Cristal stuffed into a kitchen drawer.

It’s available in the good old basic colours of black, blue, green and red; if you want something a bit fancier, try the Cristal Fun (same pen, just funkier ink colours). Nothing more to say, really.

Clear barrel; cap denotes ink colour.
