Benetton Website Does Weird Little Segment on Potatoes

The introductory caption to the current potato-talk segment of BenettonTalk tells us “Potatoes: you probably eat them quite often, but what do you really know about them?” and wins prominence on the homepage over other important topics like the Tripoli Six, deforestation and a little rant about airport security.

The illustrations are cute in a creepy sort of way. We also learn that one does not in fact grow more potatoes by putting a potato into the ground. Potatoes come from seeds. There’s an impressive networking fact. – Contributed by Angela Natividad
