People are debating which is the best pen and no one on the internet is backing down
This question was tweeted by @Chris_Grosse, who happens to be a board member of the athletics department at Pennsylvania State University.
A Twitter thread is going viral to determine which pen is the best of them all. What started out like a simple question to determine the best pen turned into a passionate online discussion that saw sharp opinions on why a certain pen is the best and we're here for it. This question was tweeted by @Chris_Grosse, who happens to be a board member of the athletics department at Pennsylvania State University. His tweet has struck a nerve in many people, and they have very strong arguments for it. Grosse's personal favorite is the Pilot G-2 07, a very good pick, known and loved for its reliability, grip, buttery slide and clicky top. He also enjoys the Sharpie S-Gel, less comparable but does the work, I guess.
Is there a better pen out there? pic.twitter.com/jNK3pSEAQn

Grosse then ignited a Twitter war by displaying seven of the most popular kinds of pen and letting everyone elect the one they would use exclusively forever. Although, many people agreed with Grosse that the Pilot pen is the superior one of them all. Besides that, many other types were also mentioned, including those that weren't even in the picture. And YES, the megapen was also mentioned, if you were thinking about it. It was a damn good pen but didn't really last that long. Now, let us look at some of our competitors below.
OK, you can only write with ONE type of pen for the rest of your life, which one are you picking? (ignoring the ink color) pic.twitter.com/vHhvfYQXxv

These enchanting pens are very cheap and donโt work well for very long, but I own two of them (the two on the right which I named Kim & Flora) and I love them dearly. pic.twitter.com/wsHA0WtxvT

19. What a shame
You, infortunately, donโt have the best pen among your choices, because you donโt have the Uni Ball Signo 207 in the group. The ink alone is pure heaven, but the pen is so good, Facebook gave it away at marketing events for years. Get with the program and never look back. pic.twitter.com/8ZkJ5Ihak4
