What happened to those disposable fountain pens?
florida2georgiaguy asked:
A year or so ago, I was in Wal Mart and saw some disposable fountain pens and thought, “What a great idea!” I bought a package and went about my business until I needed some more a few months later. I went back to Wal Mart and there were none! I’ve been to several stores since, trying to find them, but they’re nowhere to be found. Should I try Office Depot or another office supply store? Why did they dissapear? Did they not catch on? Please, someone, help!

I never saw the pens you are speaking about, but yes - the two stores (Office Depot/Max or other office supply place)you ask about would probably be a good place to begin your search. . .It would help, of course, if you could remember something about the manufacturer? Such as - was it pentel, or bic, etc. Office Depot has catalogues with mega product listings - a daunting task - and asking someone would probably save you time and frustration, at least. . .
Best wishes in your search. . .

Those have been around for years! Go into a good office supply store, and they might just have them available, I know the one in my town does! Even the refill ink cartridges. this is a small independent store. But I believe you can get them at the chain office stores too. Just give them a phone call. There is nothing like writing with a fountain pen!
I just looked at the Office Max site, and some of them are pretty pricey….
