  • Comment: I think it could be a good hook for WP:DYKAPRIL, or it could serve as a regular hook as well; let me know what you think. Feel free to suggest any improvements that would make it funnier/more absurd.

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited: Yes - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Nice work! I think this would be better suited as the trailing hook in a normal set—it is funny, but it seems more quirky-corny than April-fools'-day misleading and absurd. The hook should be cited at the end of the sentence, especially because it contains direct quotes. Well done! The article was informative and a-peel-ing (look, i'm sorry, okay?). theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/them) 03:58, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

@Theleekycauldron: Fixed. Sure, regular DYK it is, then. -- King of ♥ 04:01, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Short-ish, but fine for DYK. Otherwise new enough, long enough, well cited. GTG. Maury Markowitz (talk) 13:58, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
