I'll never understand...

I don't get regional branding.
Why can't I go to the local grocery store and get a six-pack of Yoo Hoo, a box of twiglets (disgusting but addictive), some Pocky, maybe a little Quisp, some almond Pocky...
...along the same line, why does Disney think that American consumers only want bland licensed products (with the exception of Fred Segal in Santa Monica), but will happily release and or license the swankiest stuff in the Land o' the Rising Sun?

(plus I have to chime in about the tailgating. Doesn't the guy riding my ass at 80mph know that he's putting his life in my hands? If he thinks I'm a crappy driver, that just makes him doubly stupid.)
