World's Biggest Neon Sign was in Ceylon!

In 1936, travelers arriving at the Colombo Port were met with a sight unlike any other in the world: a massive, glowing neon sign stretching 232 feet across the night sky. Spanning the entrance to the harbor, the "CEYLON FOR GOOD TEA" sign was more than just an advertisement; it was a world-record-breaking landmark and a symbol of an era. But in 1942, as the shadows of WWII reached the Indian Ocean, this brilliant beacon suddenly went dark. In this video, we uncover the history of the world's largest neon sign, why it was dismantled, and why it was never rebuilt. In this video, you’ll learn: The massive scale of the 15-foot neon letters. Why the Ceylon Tea Propaganda Board built it in Mutwal. The tragic reason it was taken down during the war. The only remaining evidence of its existence today.
