Gasklockan

... that The Coca-Cola Company proposed painting a gasometer in Gothenburg, Sweden (pictured) like a can of Coca-Cola? Source: Johansson, Anders (2 August 2011). "Gasklockan ska målas om som en Cola-burk". (in Swedish). Göteborgs-Posten. "Är det sant att Gasklockan ska målas om så att den ser ut som en Cola-burk? – Nej, det ska den inte göra. Det var ett förslag vid friidrotts-VM 95. Det var tänkt som en reklamkupp, men det blev inte av."

Reviewed: My first DYK, hence no QPQ
Comment: I'm new to DYK, but I think this hook or a variation upon it would be the best. Another possibility would be commenting on the very long time it took for it to get demolished. Created by Trialpears (talk). Self-nominated at 23:57, 18 January 2020 (UTC).

Article is new and long enough. Nominator is QPQ exempt. Earwigs showed no plagiarism or close paraphrasing. Hook is cited and short enough for DYK; AGF on Swedish source. Morgan695 (talk) 04:30, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
