back in my day, i thought these pens were the coolest thing in the whole universe.
The pinnacle of all human advancements
The funny thing is, as soon as you get one you realize that putting 10 pens into 1 pen just makes a pen that is 10x as shitty.
Then the black and blue ink run out so you're left with the other colors. You either write with red and green, or get another pen just for writing.
And then you forget exactly which colors have run out and frantically switch through each color trying to find one that works.
I saw them in a store recently and couldn’t resist buying it for that very reason. Is it actually useful or nice to write with? No. Do I regret buying it? Hell no.
I remember that pen, it was valuable in kindergarten!
Same. And all I got was the one with 4 colours.
I bought one of those recently to help with my journal, which is color coded in order to look Xtra gay UwU.
All in all it was a disappointment because the head kept sliding back into the hole, and I had to push the button down continuously. The pen felt way too needy, and I focused more on it than the act of Journaling.
It was still better than a pencil.
Even the more basic ones with only four colours were baller to elementary school me.
Yeah, I remember the first time we saw one in our 4th (?) grade class, our mouths hung open in awe. That guy was the hot shit for a while. It was like magic.
I remember my dad showing me the paint application on a Mac 2 a few years before, and he was super pumped about it, but I did not give two fucks; but this pen was like the pen of god. How could a pen even write with different colors?
Then, the guy that brought in the erasable pen a few years later. I mean... Jesus, the things mine eyes have seen.
Erasable pens are baller as well yo. I have a load of them.
"Unrelated"when i was a kid both me and my parents had no cellphones, computer or the internet. my first laptop along with a i got when i started high school, then a smartphone when i graduated high school. kids and adults alike freak out and panic when their smartphone is out of battery % or no internet access "Camping out 50 miles from civilization where to get 5g you needed to keep your phone in one place and if you moved it BLAM no signal again". for me it was Tuesday, i don't care if i have an internet connection or when the power is out (rare) ill just fine something to entertain myself that is-int tech related. always wanted the multi color pen. got one but it broke after my first use because flimsy plastic.
I was in a meeting with one of my school's principals and he whipped one of these out. I had my own pen to sign with but I kinda wanted to ask if I could use his lol
Those were so cool. Tough this year for school I needed to use a pen because of one teacher and every pen I tried was bad till I got a fountain pen.
Well, okay boomer?
But yeah love the meme :D
Neglected childhood I see? I'm gen z and played with these things all the time.
The "ok boomer" was because of "Kids These days need an iPhone blabla..."
Yeah my childhood wasnt awesome But you are never to old to own a multicolored Pen :D
