    Did you think it was going to be "Phoenix urine" or something cool like that?

    no, it was mostly because the map is weird; the green part is not all "benzene", it's many different words rooted in the german "benzin". so my assumption was that "other" languages probably have words based on the big, common words too, just not in a way the map creator understood. and you at least confirmed that for one country!
