You remember those "you won't wear out the Bic, you'll probably lose it before you wear it out." First thing I thought of.

Bic 19₵ pens worked great and never seemed to run out of ink. I worked at a company that made strip chart recorders, inter alia. The writing element was a Bic pen refill that cost about 5₵ wholesale and we sold for $2. When Bic stopped selling refills, they had a girl with a nut cracker opening up cartons of Bic pens.
