You really gotta order your products from a company that, if you look into it, was actually a titanic American conglomerate like Rockwell or Gulf and Western at some point in the 1960s but the only surviving department that keeps the name is the facility that just makes random doodads now

oh shit they mean business
This skit was supposed to be satire! 😐

There are definitely fancy paperclip companies out there, like prestige Japanese pen companies making paperclips they sell in 10-packs for $7 that are so nice you never ever want to use them.
It seems like it's that or the somehow-still-a-ripoff cancer wire.
this is a valuable addition- but it pushes them well out of commodity/sundry territory. these are the fancy paperclips, for when we have people over.
Oh darling please, take a rubber-sheathed banana shaped paper clip with you! I insist! What good is living rich if you don't let your friends and neighbors indulge every now and then? This two bedroom apartment is just so spacious, I simply delight in entertaining your good company.
Oh, yeah, I know ACCO, have seen them in many an office supply store.
The paperclips with silvery coating that comes off when you bend them is not a new thing, by the way. I remember being annoyed by them 15 years ago.
well-written and correct. i can't wait until i can pay a Paperclip Artisan a slightly inflated price for heirloom paperclips
Carbon Steel laser etched designer paperclip, NRA Good condition. Minted in Spring 2008, mild wear. Comes with the box and paper manual, FFL transfer required, serious offers only. MSRP $0.015 adjusted for inflation to a reasonable $300.
Love how my dad's response to getting bum paperclips from Amazon is :just: Return Them For A Refund.
I have experienced the fake chrome plated paperclips you describe and remember them in vivid, furious detail
Ok but careful what you wish for (and I am amazed no-one has yet mentioned)
some people might click that link, then be absorbed in a flurry of clicking techniques and probability trees, for maybe three days at a time. not saying it happened, just that it is possible ..
Our local office supply place went out of business so now we order everything from Amazon, which sucks, and has led that that exact scenario! Although we also got some rectangle Fake Post-It Notes that have the sticky edge along the "wrong" side and they've actually been surprisingly useful, so we purposely re-order those. I'm sure the next batch will be "normal" and not useful, though.
When the nanobots take over they'll turn everything into paperclip-like metal structures because machine learning is really bad at being consistent or correct
I swear I got butterfly paperclips with the weird chrome coating in like 2006 when me and my friend were obsessed with stringing them into bows using rubber bands.
mother of god. look at who just jumpscared me at the liquidation store https://i.postimg.cc/sDMYPPX5/IMG-20230801-112613-NR.jpg
can't you just walk into a store and buy some alright paperclips? is that not a thing in the US? I'm only asking because I would never even think of ordering paperclips online, like the nearest supermarket probably has some, at least I bought staples there once
Every single sundry sold in a store is now from a non-brand and cannot be trusted. I was in office Depot the other day and every single product they had in the paper clip and other sundries aisle was office Depot brand, and visibly shitty. Thumbtacks with extremely sharp casting flash on the plastic part that choose your fingertips up, that sort of thing. Even if I bought some of their clips and they were okay, the next time I went to buy some I'm sure they would be shitty ones that break if you flex them. I wanted to find a reliable source of clips. Literally this is the purpose of a brand, there are just very very few actual brands left.
Staples are another particular thing, where I've practically given up on buying staples. Most of the time they snap while trying to staple, and that's if you're lucky enough that they didn't jam and break your stapler.
