@aprilskies I found the pens in Amazon.  That is where I got the pictures.  Searched for "bic white barrel".  Both products were on the first page of results.


 

@NYCLatinaMe, thank you so much.  Yes, those a bit different than the vintage ones I remember. the barrel was different. The ones I am thinking about are what looks to be the "accountant" version. They come in a box of 12 for 40 bucks. That is too expensive for me to consider ordering just to see. 

 

But, thank you, it was fun going down memory lane.

@aprilskies I was curious about your pen - why so expensive, so I went and peeked at the Accountant.  I shop Amazon a lot and they have unbelievably high prices every once in a while for some things, dont know why, their pricing algorithm?  The item may be hard to get right now, or may be out of production.  If you are still intereted after a month or so, you may want to search again, see if the price is down to normal levels.  I did google too out of curiosity and no one else seems to be carrying it, so it probably is out of production.  There was a single "new" "vintage" pen in ebay, in original cardboard, $12.99, and other options.  My guess -- ink is probably dry!  😕

@AKgirl2   Sometimes you can find them at Cracker Barrel.  I have also picked some up if I am visiting my brother in the Pittsburgh area.  Might be a regional thing for availability.    They are delicious.   🤗


@Mombo1 ~ No Cracker Barrels in AK.  I did search online, and only the new pb cups available, no Clark Bars 😔  Maybe one day 🤞🏻

They are still being sold on Amazon and if you google Clark Bars a business article comes up from 12/2019 about the fact they are still making them under a new package @AKgirl2  Several articles about them being back.


@beckyb1012  -  Checked online, says discontinued.  Only thing available are the chocolate pb cups with bits of the Clark bar.  Also checked Candy Warehouse and Boyers, nada.  😢

 

Thank you! 🙋🏻‍♀️

@chickenbutt, I am going to check out that Pilot pen.  I think I would like that. I like pens and love when I find ones that really write well. 


 

@aprilskies 

 

I don't usually see them at my grocery store, so I don't know if they are or are not generally sold in B&M stores.  But I get mine on Amazon and they are still always available and inexpensive.

 

I really really love this pen and I hope you do too!  Smiley Happy

I bought a bakery cake!  Just me, so I sliced it and froze it in serving sized pieces.  Publix makes delicious cakes!  Not baking in Florida when it's 100.

A little box of Good & Plenty - those pink and white candy coated pieces of licorice. I was standing in line at Walgreens, and there they were in a display of candies calling my name! I love licorice!
