Tribute to the Bic Company

No Mustard Only would like to take a moment to applaud the Bic company, which dabbles in a variety of extremely unrelated products, that are all equally poor in quality.

Would you like to cut the fuck out of your face?  Only want to spend 45 cents to do it?  Then grab a bunch of these:
Who needs 3, 4 or 5 blades when you have a slightly sharpened piece of aluminum?  You can get like 20 of them for $2, and they come in a bag.  That's right, they are razors that come in a bag.  The same kind of bag that cough drops come in.


Next, do you need to write something down?  Do you not need assurance that you'll be able to get more then 2 words out?   Well grab a handful of these for just pennies on the dollar.

 Finally, do you need to light something on fire that is only one millimeter from your thumb?  Then be sure to pick up one of these.

They can occasionally be more convenient than a match.

So thank you Bic company.  When people ask, what do you do, you can say you specialize in shaving, writing and lighting things on fire.  And you've managed to become a master at all three.  Congratulations on successfully flooding the world with three products for over 500 years, or whatever.
