Lunchtime Trivia Friday, June 14

Q: 80% of us use these every day and 7 out of 10 have one with them at all times.  What is it?

A:  A pen.

History: Ballpoint pens go back to late 1800’s

Even with the use of smartphones, ballpoint pens can still be found in just about every place. In fact, The Promotional Products Association International (PPAI) recently completed a survey on pen use. It found that 73% of people still carry writing instruments with them and that 83% use ballpoint pens daily (Keyser, 2012). Businesses are handing out these inexpensive pens as a great form of advertising. Their logos can be seen every time an individual picks one up. Apparently, businesses have allowed the luxury that the Federal Teacher (1950) was so sure wouldn’t happen.
