Hi,
I have a BIC affiliate website, www.BICeveryday.com, that I would like to include on the External Links section of the BIC Corporation profile page. It is a great resource teachers and students...
I believe my link was removed for promotional purposes, but I did see a similar link on the profile page for BIC Sports? Is there a way this BIC company link can be added to the BIC Corporation profile?
Thank you.
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)
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)
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)
I found this story, while surfing for spiritual items.
Look for "webmaster's Blog: My Bic Blue Ballpoint Pen".
It's different!
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)
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. =(
In the mid-70's, Bic had a limerick contest that aired on the radio MANY times every day, to finish a limerick they started. You couldn't turn on the radio without hearing:
I once knew a pretty good trick, That began with the flick of my Bic. da da da da da da, da da da da da da, da da da da da da da da da.
Over and over throughout the day. It got old fast. I entered the contest, but didn't win. Here is my limerick entry:
I once knew a pretty good trick, That began with the flick of my Bic. I wish you would quit, With this Bic-flicking shit, Your commercial is making me sick.
Thank you for your time.
The section “History of slogans” consists of a single slogan, with no explanation about why Bic used it or how it is relevant. I know almost nothing about Bic, so I can't add more content there. Maybe someone else can? R2D2! ( talk) 14:25, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
Seems dubious that a generous user wrote that section. Stinks of advertisement. Any editors want to add the disclaimer block to it?

Do you think we should add section on Article about mr Jair Bolsonaro stop useing Bic pen because it "is French." [1] Khoshhat ( talk) 07:18, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
References
The Products section begins with reference to products not made by BiC. Would it not be better to begin by referring to something made by them, and then include mention of there having been an earlier similar product? I bring this up because I was quite puzzled when I read this section first of all. -- Brian Josephson ( talk) 08:38, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: moved. Per consensus. ( closed by non-admin page mover) – robertsky ( talk) 02:58, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
Société Bic → Bic (company) – In common parlance, the company in the U.S. is referred to as simply "Bic", as opposed to its French name "Société Bic". This move would make it a bit easier for readers to find the article and read more about the company if they so wish.
Further, the new title better obeys WP:COMMONNAME and is more precise ( WP:PRECISE). Thanks, and let me know what you think. :) — That Coptic Guy ( talk) 00:06, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
