The potatoes in a 10-pound bag of Michigan Pride Russets were discovered in the throes of death Monday, sprouting roots from their eyes in a desperate, last-ditch attempt to prolong their lives with nutrient-rich soil. 'I opened the bag to grab a few potatoes for dinner,' said Owosso resident Bobbi Silas, 'when I saw these potatoes sprouting arms, frantically reaching for any kind of nutrition available.' Silas called the experience 'creepy.'
