You were the coolest kid in class if you had this pen in the 1970s…

Ya know, I have two of those now. They no longer cost 77¢. And I’m not cool. I’m just a nerd.

I still buy several of those every year (they're about 4 for $7-8 now.) I use them for edit suggestions on students' papers. (Pro tip: chat gtp can't help if your teacher is insane enough to demand handwritten essays done in class under supervision.)

Every nurse had one and used all 4 colors until lawyers got involved and said the colors don’t copy well. It was fun while it lasted.

I'm an 80's kid; and I loved those! I use to play with my mom, and my aunt's multi-colored pens; and Spirograph. I had a really fat one, with multiple colors.

And if you were a nurse, you were just efficient.
