Pen nostalgia

[KittyGlitter]

I have no idea what category to put this in. Does anyone remember those fat ball-point pens, that had loads of different colours in them and you could select one colour at a time. For example, you could select pink or green. What were they called and can you still get them?

Yes I remember, what a novelty we thought they were!

I've found them on Hawkin's Bazaar & amazingly Kitty they look glittery!........

The Bic 4-Color still exists. I have one in front of me now;

Yeah, I had one as a child many years ago. I think it had about 8 colours in it. It was too fat to write with though! I think you may still get them from novelty shops ie seaside resort shops etc. I work for a stationery company and you can certainly get the Bic 4 colour ones.

I've seen them in the gadget shop
