This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of BIC 4-Color pen for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Here's another throwback to my middle school days: multi-colored pens! Honestly, before BIC® contacted me about this opportunity, I thought these pens were a thing of the past! I was pretty excited to find out they're still a thing and you better believe I'm going to be stocking up on them!
Way back in the 6th grade, I used to be obsessed with taking notes. Not just any old notes--no, they had to be the neatest notes you ever did see. Of course, this meant color coding wasn't optional. These also came in handy when my 8th grade algebra teacher required everyone to have a red pen on us at all times. If we didn't, it meant an automatic zero on our homework or whatever assignment was being graded at the time. I had so many nightmares about being caught without my red pen, and sometimes I still find myself digging around in my bag to make sure I have one (just in case). So this pen was actually a life saver for me, on more than one occasion! It ensured that I always had a red pen on me and never got a zero on my homework assignments. Thank you BIC®!
But this post really isn't about my crazy teachers. No, it's about spreading the word that these pens are awesome and aren't just for paranoid 8th graders! Check out these videos BIC® made to promote the campaign:
Also, check out their Facebook and Twitter pages! They post a lot of great content and do a lot of giveaways! Be sure to follow them for the opportunity to win free pens!
So a main aspect of this campaign is highlighting the different personalities of each color--there's a color for everyone! They've seperated the different personalities accoroding to the colors in the pen: blue, green, red, black. Read more about them below:
Blue: Blue likes himself. And with good reason: he knows that he's
important. Blue cheese, blue skies, blue jeans, blue moon; he's
everywhere! To prove his point, look at the names of his family members:
Navy Blue, Oxford Blue, Royal Blue...Ever heard of "royal yellow"?
Exactly. Let's admit it, blue is definitely the boss.
Green: Green is the jealous type (remember 'green with envy'?). But wouldn’t you be if your Red, Blue, and Black counterparts were used more often than you? He’s also a foodie. Such a foodie that he chronicles each of his daily meals on his social media profile. Because if you eat a meal and don’t take a picture of it, did it really even happen?
Red: Red likes it when things are correct. When matches are parallel and books are well aligned on a shelf. His favorite moment of the day? When it is 11:11 sharp on his digital watch. His passion in life? He has many: spelling, grammar, conjugation, calculation. And a bit of syntax on the weekend. Want to make him happy? Give him some mistakes to correct. He even makes mistakes on purpose sometimes, just for the pleasure of correcting them.
Black: He just doesn’t understand…why does it always have to be about Blue? He is not as fit as Blue although he likes to Blue although he likes to think that he's just as handsome as he is – in a different way though. (Muscles are so last season). He secretly dreams of becoming the Undisputed Master of the World but hasn't yet come up with a clear plan for this. And before we forget (although he doesn't like to talk about it), his natural hair color is blond.
Green: Green is the jealous type (remember 'green with envy'?). But wouldn’t you be if your Red, Blue, and Black counterparts were used more often than you? He’s also a foodie.

While I wouldn't say I fit one of these perfectly, I'm definitely a combination of red and blue (so I guess that makes me purple?) But also a little bit of black and green...so basically, I'm a bit of all of them! Before I go, make sure and follow BIC’s social channels for more 4-Color™ fun! You can see

I heard about this campaign and like you thought, is it the late 90s? I don't know if I could get back into the combo pen, although I do colour code things....
