Bic lighters are a type of disposable lighter manufactured by Société Bic, a French company founded in 1945. The company initially started as a manufacturer of ballpoint pens but later expanded into other disposable consumer goods, including lighters.
The first Bic lighter, the Bic Cristal, was introduced in 1973. It was a disposable lighter designed to be safe, reliable, and easy to use. The Bic Cristal featured a child-resistant mechanism that made it difficult for children to light the lighter accidentally. It also had a long-lasting flame that was resistant to wind.
Over the years, Bic has continued to innovate its lighters, introducing new designs and features. For example, in the 1980s, Bic introduced the Bic Mini, a smaller version of the Bic lighter that was easier to carry in a pocket or purse. In the 1990s, Bic introduced the Bic Multi-purpose lighter with a long wand that made it easier to light candles and stoves.
Today, Bic lighters are sold in over 160 countries, producing billions of lighters yearly. They are available in various colors and designs, and Bic continues to innovate new features, such as adjustable flames and refillable lighters, to meet the needs of its customers.
