Paper Mate Anti-Bacterial Pen

Get ready for a slew of products that come with an anti-bacterial coating, such as Paper Mate's new FlexiGrip Elite Anti-Bacterial Pen.

The exterior of the pen is coated with a special anti-bacterial surface designed to protect the pen's surface for the life of the pen. Paper Mate is making tons of these pens in purple ink due to demands from politically-correct teachers.

The company says these pens are not designed to kill bacteria on your fingers, hand, mouth, ears, or whereever your like to stick it, but that it only kills bacteria that happens to land on the pen.
