Popular products in the US that are also sold in Japan

Popular products in the US that are also sold in Japan
Comparing the package, price, promotion, and distribution/intensity
1)      Starbucks, Espresso Roast (Ground)
Product
The logo remains unchanged and the branding of the package is very similar to the US product except for the big “E”.
Price
Japan price: 665 Yen ≈ $5.58
US price: $7.48
*Pulled from Walmart.com

Promotion
Besides the Japanese writing, I do not observe anything different promotionally.

Distribution/Intensity
As far as, buying Starbucks in a store, I would say there is just as much availability of product within the store, but I would have to do more research to see how many types of stores it is in. I have found it in Don Quijote and 711.

Also, they have origami drip coffee, which I have never seen sold in the US. I, of course, bought some. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’ll let y’all know how it is.

2)      Axe Body Wash
They sell their shampoo and body wash in bags. The directions on the back show it pouring into another bottle. They also sell the bottles, but they look different.
Japan price: 570 Yen ≈ $4.78
US price: $3.97
*Pulled from Walmart.com
