New Popeye brand snacks
not sure why, but Popeye is also popular in Thailand as well. He can be seen on one of those "Balance Bars" from the link you referenced. So I guess he is popular in Japan as well?

No Engrish did I see in Thailand, I wonder why?

Japan was occupied by the US after WW-II and a democracy was established. The Japanese loved Makkasa-san (General Douglas MacArthur). In any case, the Japanese have alway been open to borrowing from other cultures.

The US does the same. The expresiion "just a skosh" comes from the Japanese "sukoshi" meaning little.

We don't think of it as a rebellion. We call it "heavily armed stress leave."
