The BIC Cristal pen is the most successful product ever made, with over 100 billion units sold since it came out in 1950. Its design hasn't changed in over 70 years, and it still sells 14 million units every day. The pen works using capillary action, which pulls the ink onto the ball without needing gravity. Before the BIC Cristal, pens were expensive and hard to use, but this pen made writing easy and affordable, costing just $2 when it first hit the market. Its simple and effective design, with a hexagonal barrel and clear body, helped boost literacy rates and made writing tools available to everyone.
